Making your way to Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport

ATL regularly sees a human sea of passengers surge through its gates pretty constantly, and if you’re unprepared, it can be a bit intimidating. However, the airport staff has seen it all. The layout is easy to navigate and if you know where you’re going, it can be a seamless, efficient experience.

The most important thing to remember is that there are two main terminals, one domestic, and one international, with seven big parallel concourses ranged in between. All the airport buildings are linked together by the rapid free Plane Train people mover, and that makes getting around the airport fairly straightforward.

There is free WiFi throughout the airport, and it’s easy to keep up to date with flight and security wait-time information because the free TRAK-A-FLIGHT service sends it all directly to your phone or mobile device. Pet lovers will appreciate the Domestic Terminal’s 1000 square foot fenced dog park.

Getting to the airport is pretty simple, just be aware that each terminal has its own exits/entrances from the interstates, and pay attention to the signage. You can also reach ATLby public transport: the MARTA city rail and various bus routes connect directly to the airport.
