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.
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.
Absolutely great choices of restaurants and shops. TSA staff are on a serious power trip. Are they apart of the FBI or CIA or something? Customer service training is needed for this crew.
The shuttle trains move super fast so make sure to hold on to something! There is nothing to hold onto if you're in the middle of the car and it's really crowded (which it often is).
Do not take walkway to B-F gates..it's a long one, always take train even though they show both (walkway and train as option)..well if u have time u cud take that stroll
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.
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)
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!!!!
Free WiFi everywhere and lots of power plugs for long scales (mine was 9 hours). There are always gates with no departures scheduled, so you can rest there.
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
