7am fare at the Charlotte airport. Can’t quite remember the name of the place, but one of the adventures of red-eye travel is finding a breakfast joint open at 7am (or earlier) on the Atlanta or Charlotte layover prior to the last leg back to South Carolina. There are a few good options in Atlanta – strangely enough, not the fast food ones, which often open a bit later, but as I recall Gordon Biersch is open at 6am, and there’s usually some fun quirkly place which you can find to help take the edge off after the long overnight flight.
