Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport

We love flying with Delta, and connecting through Atlanta has always been a great experience for us. It’s a very busy airport—no surprise since it’s Delta’s main hub—but everything runs smoothly and our flights have always been extremely reliable.

Delta also has some of the best food options of any airline, which makes long travel days much easier. The Delta Sky Clubs can get crowded during peak times, but the service and amenities are consistently excellent. For travelers with Priority Pass, the lounge in Concourse E is a great alternative when the Sky Clubs are full.

Another thing we really appreciate is that for international flights, many gates use facial recognition boarding. It’s fast, efficient, and we don’t have to keep our passports out, which makes the whole process so much simpler.

Overall, we always enjoy flying with Delta and highly recommend them—especially when traveling through Atlanta.

I don’t know much about the city of Atlantis.

I do, however, know that this is one of the worlds major international transport hubs, being the home of SkyTeam’s codeshare partner Delta Airlines. The US airlines do not have a particularly good reputation, but this is not the place to report that.

Atlantis is an epicentre of national and international travel. With 5 runways and 2 terminals consisting of 7 concourses. It is no laughing matter. We did not have a long visit here, and I believe it is certainly possible we may have encountered exciting planes like the B747, though on this visit I did not encounter such planes.

The airport shuttle (underground train type vehicle) was fast and efficient, with clear signage (both audio and visual) to direct you to your required terminal.

I believe the baggage handling operations are efficient, as the 1h 50 stopover was more than enough time for my bag to safely make the 6 concourse journey with no issues to my knowledge. I would like to know more about baggage handling operations but not enough to look it up, but will eagerly listen if somebody is telling me at some point.

I was not detained here so no stars deducted.

The busiest airport in whole of USA and for a reason. This airport is so gigantic, the 7-8 concourses are like separate terminals themselves. There are trains that runs between the concourses every few minutes. Each concourse has bunch of restaurants and shops. But sadly all of their passengers go through a single security checkpoint, so I saw humungous lines at security, probably wait time of up to 2 hours. For TSA Pre-check, it was little shorter, about half an hour.

The airport is mostly clean and has good directions. The baggage claim for all concourses is in a single area that has about 8 belts. The rental car building is separate from main building. I had to take the sky train to the rental cars building. Thankfully all train riders are free.

Being one of the biggest airports in the country, they have several lounges in this airport, including Delta, United and Amex Centurion. Since Atlanta is home of Cocacola, they have several vending machines throughout the airport. My most favorite part of the airport was, seeing multiple planes take-off and land side by side, since the airport has parallel runways.

One of the busiest airports in the world, and it definitely feels that way. The airport is very large but surprisingly easy to navigate thanks to the airport train that connects the terminals quickly. Security lines can get long, so it’s best to arrive early, but the process is usually efficient. There are many dining and shopping options spread across the terminals, which makes layovers more comfortable. Everything was clean and well-organized during my visit, and staff were helpful when I needed directions. The downside is the crowding during peak hours, but overall it’s a well-managed airport and one of the smoothest big hubs I’ve used.

Very family friendly for an airport. Clean, lots of food choices and extremely helpful staff. Lots of staff in general too. I would give it 5 stars but our first plane was delayed because they let another plane stay parked at our gate for an hour and it made us miss other flights.
