Find yourself getting lost in concourse "E"? Don't worry, you're not alone! "E" is the largest international concourse in the US, with a capacity to handle up to 8,000 arriving passengers per hour.
This used to be a smoke free airport. Philip Morris lobbied to have the smoking rooms installed in lead up to the Atlanta Olympic Games. The rooms don't address the health hazards of secondhand smoke.
If you are flying Delta domestic, you could avoid some lines and check in at the international terminal. TSA lines are usually lighter there than the domestic checkin.
When going to baggage claim board the first compartment in the train.. U can get down and be the first one on the escalator so u can climb the stairs. This saves u 5 mins. A lot if u r frequent
Be prepared to walk! And walk.. Plan to have an extra time for the long walk and transportation between terminals and gates. 1h is not enough for international flights. Run!!!
Remember 1-877eziTAXI , welcome to ATL, we're the good guys. Be careful out there............the only thing worse than being stranded at the airport is being stranded in someone's backseat and paying.
I may be biased but ATL is one of the most efficient, organizedairports. Some employees could use a little extra training - but airport itself is great. Glad I don't have to connect there though
As my pilot pointed out, Atlanta is connection capitol. Always people here, but the best all around food is in Terminal E. Something for everyone in one place.
If you connect through here & have the time, consider waiting to eat until your layover. Of all the airports I've encountered in my two years of traveling, this has one of the best food courts. But: i
Yeah, that's right FourSquare, I haven't been back here in a while because this is my least favorite airport. Reminds me of that Spring Break trip to Tulane where I went blind (long story)
If you get to the bottom of the escalator and the next train is more than 20 seconds away, and you only have to go to the next terminal over, just walk on the people movers. Otherwise, use the train.
Have to wait & it's not crowded? Push 2 rows of bench seats next to a stationary row & get your nap on. But when the gate gets crowded-let other folks have a seat! You, your feet, & bag only need one!
Register for Trak-a-Line on the airport's website and you'll receive an alert right away whenever there are changes to the wait times at the security checkpoint lines. Read more
Unlike a mean-spirited coffeehouse or a Barnes and Nobles, Delta calls out where their power outlets are to help their customers. Very classy! Thanks Delta.
If going to International from Domestic concourses, you'll do a lot better eating in Domestic side. Very few, and odd, choices on F. And a lot more pricey.
Want some food that's good for the soul at Atlanta's Hartsfield Airport? Try Paschal's located at the main food court and a few of the concourses. Don't forget the cornbreadmuffins!
One of the busiest airports in the world manages crowds with its staggered terminal layout. Take plenty of time to get from one gate to the other. TSA lines are managed well and never take too long.
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport proudly bears the distinction of being the world’s busiest and most efficient airport and has served as a valuable hub connecting various cities and countries around the globe.
