TIPS FOR ARRIVING ON TIME

HOW EARLY SHOULD YOU GET TO THE AIRPORT?

Officials in Atlanta recommend getting to the airport terminal at least two hours before a flight.

You can get updates on parking, security wait times, concessionaires and flight information at the airport’s website: atl. com.

If you are picking up or dropping off family or friends at the domestic terminal, the airport recommends using the Terminal North and Terminal South upper levels.

ALLOW EXTRA TIME TO:

■ Navigate airport roads

■ Find parking

■ Check oversized bags

■ Get special assistance

■ Travel with pets/ animals ( Keep your pet in its carrier and try to avoid any checkpoints with a working TSA dog, since other animals — including service animals — can distract the working dog.)

PARKING:

■ Hartsfield- Jackson has closed its on- airport park- ride lots at the domestic terminal.

However, hourly, daily and economy parking are open at the domestic terminal. And at the international terminal, the hourly parking deck and park- ride parking deck are both open.

The airport has adjusted its parking rates due to COVID- 19. The new rates are: $ 24 a day for hourly parking, $ 14 a day for daily parking, $ 10 a day for economy parking and $ 12 a day for international terminal park- ride.

In the hourly parking decks at the domestic terminal, the rates are $ 3 an hour for the first two hours.

For off- airport parking lots, it’s a good idea to check with the parking lot operator for any changes or new policies.

RIDESHARE/ PUBLIC TRANSPORT

■ UBER, LYFT PICKUP ZONES: Uber and Lyft pickups at the domestic terminal are now at the lower level curbside, instead of at designated pickup zones that were a farther walk away from the terminal. The steep decline in passenger counts and drop in Uber and Lyft traffic has reduced congestion, allowing ride share pickups to be accommodated at the curbside.

■ SHUTTLES: The airport continues to operate its terminal- to- terminal International Shuttle Connector in between the domestic and international terminals, as well as its international park- ride shuttle. However, other airport- run shuttles have been suspended amid the pandemic.
