Getting around
- Plane Train
- The airport's underground train between the Domestic Terminal, the concourses and the International Terminal; about 250,000 passengers ride it a day.
- ATL SkyTrain
- A free automated people mover, running 24 hours a day from the west end of the Domestic Terminal to the Rental Car Center and the Gateway area.
- Transportation Mall walkway
- The Transportation Mall is the underground level that runs parallel to the Plane Train, with a walkway between the Domestic Terminal and the concourses.
- Shuttle between the terminals
- A free shuttle from the International Terminal Arrivals level goes to the Domestic Terminal, the way the airport sends travellers to the SkyTrain and the Rental Car Center.
Check the next flight first
Find your departure concourse and boarding time before you leave the arrival area. Immigration, baggage and screening steps depend on the journey and the airline; this guide does not promise a minimum connection time.
Check in at the right terminal
Atlanta asks travellers flying out of the United States to check in at the International Terminal, and travellers flying within the United States to check in at the Domestic Terminal. Your airline can confirm its own check-in rules.
Moving between the terminals
The Plane Train links the Domestic Terminal, every concourse and the International Terminal under the airport. A free shuttle also leaves from the curb outside the International Terminal and stops at the west end of the Domestic Terminal, the end where the SkyTrain to the Rental Car Center starts.
