ALLOW EXTRA TIME TO:

-

■ Navigate road constructi­on

■ Find parking or take a shuttle to the terminal

■ 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: Off-airport parking shuttle pickups have been relocated from the airport’s ground transporta­tion center to the Terminal North lower-level curbside. Take the escalator to LN1, go out door LN1 on the lower level and turn left, then walk toward the off-airport parking shuttle pickup curbside. The drop-off location for the offairport shuttles remains the same — at the Terminal North upper level along the outer curb.

Shuttle pickups for airport-run parking are back at their original spot at the Terminal South curbside. Airport long-term parking and

off-airport lots can fill up during busy holiday periods. Consider making a parking reservatio­n at the airport or at an off-site parking lot to ensure you get a space. You can also check Hartsfield-Jackson parking lot status online.

■ UBER, LYFT PICKUP ZONES: Uber and Lyft pickups are at designated zones in the domestic terminal North and South economy lots. The Terminal South pickup zone will require walking a distance from the terminal. The Terminal North pickup zone was relocated in late 2018 to a closer location under the MARTA tracks. You can get to the closer Terminal North pickup zone by taking the escalator near Terminal North baggage claim down to door LN1. Then walk toward the MARTA tracks, turn right and cross the roadway to get to the pickup zone.

During busy periods, the pickup zones can get congested with dozens of drivers and passengers trying to connect. Officials recommend that arriving passengers without checked bags who use Uber or Lyft take the Plane Train people-mover to the internatio­nal terminal to be picked up curbside.

■ SHUTTLES: Hotel and local and regional shared-ride shuttle drop-offs have been relocated to the Terminal South roadway’s outer curb, while pickups for those shuttles are still at the airport’s ground transporta­tion center.
