Welcome to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport

As the world’s busiest airport by passenger traffic, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL) serves as a crucial hub for Delta Air Lines and handles over 93 million passengers annually. Whether you’re catching a domestic connection or flying internationally, this comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know.

Terminal Layout

ATL features a domestic terminal with seven concourses (T, A, B, C, D, E, F) and an international terminal (F). The Plane Train, an automated people mover, connects all concourses, making navigation efficient despite the airport’s massive size.

Concourse D: Ecco, Grindhouse Killer Burgers

Concourse E: Paschal’s, TGI Fridays

International Terminal F: Cat Cora’s Kitchen, Chicken + Beer

Lounges

Delta Sky Club: Multiple locations throughout ATL, as this is Delta’s primary hub. Expect the largest and best-equipped Delta lounges here.

The Club ATL: Available on Concourse F for Priority Pass members.

USO: Located in Concourse E for active military members and their families.

Ground Transportation

MARTA rail connects directly to downtown Atlanta in about 20 minutes for just $2.50. The station is located inside the airport’s domestic terminal. Ride-sharing pickup is on the arrivals level of the domestic terminal.

Insider Tips

• The Plane Train runs every 2-3 minutes – much faster than walking between concourses
• Security checkpoints at the north and south ends of the domestic terminal often have different wait times
• Atlanta is Delta’s biggest hub – if flying Delta, expect smooth connections
• International arrivals must clear customs in Concourse F before connecting

Parking

ATL offers hourly decks, daily lots, and economy parking. The Park-Ride lots are most affordable for longer trips but require a shuttle ride to the terminal.
