Spend your layover eating at Paschal's and reading about the civil rights movement and Dr. King. This airport has done a great job of honoring Atlanta's greatest citizen.
1 hour connecting time ha den worried, but even with a restroom stop, I made my connecting flights no problem! Very friendly and efficient airport employees
It never fails to amaze me, security check point 50 TSA worker 1 or 2 lanes open. That leaves 45 TSA on government welfare, just standing around. How about opening additional security lanes!!!
How about some customer service, guys? Make a reservation online, get to the airport & need to make a small change, & agent can’t do anything but makes you call the online help desk. What kind of BS?!
Big. Plan at least 20 mins to get to another gate if connecting through here. If you are here longer, there are some great food options. My fav-Cafe intermezzo.
Make sure you give yourself time to make it through security and to take the train to your concourse. I've def missed SEVERAL planes here... It stays BUSY!!!!
Enjoy the total disregard that @Delta has for passengers connecting through Atlanta. Wear running shoes... You'll need them. Especially when your connection is 3 terminals away and you have no time.
If you arrive at the Airport and there is NO Parking available hope back on I85 north and get off at Sylvan Rd. Peachy AirportParking will have space available to you. We also service International!
Save money on parking by parking at airporthotels. They all have shuttle service and some are only $5 a day. Days Inn and Wellesley Inn offer this service.
The busiest airport in the world, and so far, only 4sq venue to surpass the 1M mark. Delta's precence cannot go by unnoticed. Also, only airport in the US to have a runway over an Interstate (10/28)
Extremely crowded, and fast-paced, so make sure you know where you're going or you just might get run over (by the people-movers, if not the people themselves)
There are charging posts with regular power plug sockets and usb ports to charge your electronics at your seat at your gate, and there are convenient stations to reprint your boarding pass.
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.
As of May 2013, the back entrance for the airport's park and ride (from Riverdale Road) is closed. Signs suggest the construction is ongoing until 2014.. Yay!
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!!!
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.
