 Airport Layout by balfor Many people seem to find the layout of the Atlanta airport confusing. Once you have seen the layout, however, you will see how simple the place is. There is a main terminal with checkin counters on the north and south sides of the terminal. These are called, amazingly enough, the North and South terminal. They are in the same building, so just remember that it is just the way the airport has named it and not different physical structures. There are also gates for flights from the main terminal. These are called the T-Gates. There are 5 more separate buildings housing Concourse A-E for handling the capacity of the airport. There is a train every few minutes that goes from the main terminal to terminal E. If you are arriving, however, make sure you stay on the train to the baggage claim area as it is quite a walk from the T-Gates (terminal gates) to baggage claim. When you go up the very large escalator to baggage claim, the south terminal will be to your left and the north to your right. If you need to rent a car, the rental agencies are directly in front of you at the top of the escalator. (and it looks like the photo is messed up so I will work on it to get the correct picture online.) Leave a Comment

 International Terminal by balfor The international terminal can be a bit confusing when going through customs/immigration. The Atlanta airport was designed pre-911 and as such there were security issues that had to be implemented after it was built. Probably the most annoying is that when you arrive in the international terminal, you are re-united with your checked luggage. Unfortunately, there are items which are allowed to be checked that you are not allowed to carry on board with you. This makes it necessary to go through security before leaving the arrival area as you will leave there to re-enter the main terminals. :-( This is highly annoying, especially for those whose intended destination is Atlanta as bags have to be re-checked for transport to the main baggage claim area.

 Contrails by balfor Atlanta has had one of the top 10 busiest passenger airports in the world for quite a few years now. It has been the worlds busiest several times in the last 10 years, and there are always airplanes and their contrails overhead.... Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

We drove 13 hours from New Jersey. It was a long drive. Flying would probably be the most convenient since I'm sure Atlanta's airport supports many airlines being that it's a major U.S. hub. A train ride might be fun too! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

The HARTSFIELD Airport is excellent. It was renovated before the Olympic Games and it's really nice. It is also the busiest airport in the U.S. Don't worry though. I think it's really well organized and the info is outstanding. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

by farseek The best way to get here is into Hartsfield International Airport, the busiest airport in the world. If you come into international arrivals, you have to take a train six stops and claim your baggage twice just to get to the main terminal. Luckily you can take the metro (MARTA) directly from the airport - if you happen to be going somewhere on the MARTA line, which isn't too likely. Clark Howard has some of the best travel deals coming to and from Atlanta and other places. You're on your own here (see my traffic tips elsewhere, including The Atlanta Roadways Digest). On top of the car (or should I say SUV/minivan) problems, Atlanta is not a very pedestrian or biker-friendly city. Like I said, if you own your own helicopter you've got it made. Not being rich, I do not, though I've an XJS that doesn't go anywhere near as fast in Atlanta as it should. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Getting there's not too bad, it's getting through it. I'd think that driving would be a little better than flying. Flying is only hard when you have to get out on the road to your destination. When driving, you become part of the traffic and it kind of flows like a river, a fast river, but none the less a river. Get a car! It gets pretty bad, but I'd rather drive then have a face-off with hundreds of cars doing 90! Make sure you have plenty of time! We were passing through one time and normally it takes about 30-45 minutes and you're out, it took us almost 2 hours to get out of there! So time is a MUST! Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane
