The terminals at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport
ATL has a Domestic Terminal, with the concourses A, B, C, D, E and T, and a separate International Terminal, so the two are not in the same building.
The airport publishes its list of airlines in two groups. The domestic carriers are Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Avelo Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Denver Air Connection, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Southern Airways Express, Southwest Airlines, Sun Country Airlines and United Airlines.
The international carriers are AeroMexico, Air Canada, Air France, British Airways, Copa Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, Etihad Airways, KLM, Korean Air, LATAM Airlines, Lufthansa, Qatar Airways, Scandinavian Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Virgin Atlantic and WestJet.
Getting to and from Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport
The shared-ride shuttles pick up on Aisle B, outside in the new Ground Transportation Center, at the west end of the Domestic Terminal. The local shared-ride services are on the same aisle, between the stalls B3 and B8, and the regional ones between the stalls B9 and B10.
The local shuttles serve the cities of the five counties of the metro Atlanta area, and the regional ones the areas outside those counties and the neighbouring states. The regional shuttles leave every 30 minutes to an hour, and some of them only run with a booking made in advance.
The hotel shuttles pick up in the Ground Transportation Center, on the west curb between the Domestic North and Domestic South Terminals, and the new center has an Aisle C with the hotel desks for the hotels on the north and south sides.
What happens when you arrive at ATL
The airport publishes the estimated security wait times for each checkpoint, so it is worth a look before you leave for the airport.
Keep your passport and any form you filled in on the plane with you the whole way, from the aircraft door to the exit, and leave the passports and the children's documents in your carry-on bag, not in checked luggage.
Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport with children
The airport is a long walk between the Domestic Terminal and the International Terminal, so keep a snack and water within reach while you move between them.
Aisle C of the new Ground Transportation Center has the hotel desks, and Aisle B has the shared-ride ones, so the meeting point for the ride into the city is easy to find with the children.
