 Airport Layout by balfor
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.

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

Airplane - Delta Air Lines provides many nonstops from across the country into Atlanta.
Marta - The train and buses go just about everywhere. It is only $1.50 each time you board. Clean and fast. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

WARNING: this tip is boring, but very useful
unfortunatly i know a little about the transportation situation at the hartsfield internatinal airport. i lived in atlanta (dont ask why) for almost two years and for money to travel i found a job as a shuttle driver for a downtown hotel. not only did i take our hotel guest all around the city, but i made thousands of trips to the airport to pick-up arriving guest.
if u are flying into atlanta and staying in atlanta, theres some things u should know. first is that u are going to want to fallow the signs from the baggage claim to "ground transportation". when u come out the terminal doors u are going to first see the rental shuttles, and taxis. taxis in atlanta have a flat rate anywhere into atlanta for 20 dollars. dont pay a penny more.
after the taxi and rentals car shuttles, u will find the "downtown shuttles". this is where u really have to watch out. these guys will tell u anything to get u to ride with them. the average cost is 14 dollars to downtown atlanta, but make sure they tell u that before u get into the shuttle. these shuttles are cheaper then the taxis and sometimes the best way to go.
after the shuttle bus row, is the hotel shuttle buses. u should always check before taking a taxi or downtown shuttle, if your hotel has airport pick-up. in the hotel shuttle row u will find courtesy phones with all the hotels that pick-up from the airport. do not let the downtown shuttle guys tell u that your hotel doesnt pick-up at the airport, check for yourself. if the hotel does pick up its always free.
the cheapest way to get to downtown is by marta. it cost 1.75 and takes about 30 minutes. this isnt door to door service though and if u have a lot of bags this may not be the way to go.
make sure u research where u are going before u arrive in atlanta and call your hotel and ask the best way to get to them, it can save u some money

Atlanta Airport, known as the largest/busiest airport in the world indeed is a large airport. Just be aware when catching a flight, the check in procedure and to get to the gate (which might be several "metro" stops after check in, takes some time. Enough restaurants at the airport, the tax free zone has some great deals (at least, if ur from EU), the KLM/Delta lounge (in the gate where KLM departures) is so standard that you wonder why there were so many people.
