The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
AT THE AIRPORT
There are now upper-level pedestrian bridges connect- ing the domestic terminal to the upper levels of the Ter- minal South and Terminal North parking decks. Take elevators or stairs up from the parking decks to reach the pedestrian bridges that connect to the terminal.
Because of construction of a Plane Train extension and new escalators and elevators, travelers who arrive on flights in Atlanta and need to use elevators (such as for stroll- ers or wheelchairs) must exit at Concourse T.
During certain overnight construction periods, all travelers must walk from Con- course T to the domestic terminal and baggage claim. Listen for announcements on the Plane Train and signs that direct travelers to bag- gage claim.
Passengers headed to Con- course D will also see con- struction zones, as the airport works on a years-long project to widen that con- course. Work is also underway on an extension of Con- course E.
MINUTE SUITES
There are now four Min- ute Suites locations offering sleep units inside the airport.
Minute Suites opened new locations this year on Concourse F and Concourse E. The Concourse E location, which opened in October, has 16 sleep suites and two showers.
There are also two Min- ute Suites locations on Concourse B, including one that opened in 2022 with
restroom with a shower.
PRIVATE VIP TERMINAL
A luxury VIP terminal set apart from the main terminal opened at Hartsfield-jack- son in September, offering creature comforts and a private security screening room for passengers will- ing to pay extra.
The PS terminal is on the north side of the Atlanta air- field with a lounge, bar and three suites. It costs $1,095 per person for each visit to the PS terminal lounge, or $4,850 for a private suite for up to four travelers. That does not include the cost of the flight.
CONCESSIONS
Some concessions at the airport have become congested with long lines or waits for food. Hartsfield-jackson has information on its website on con- cessions.
If you buy food in the domestic terminal before going through security, be aware that you cannot bring liquids more 3.4 oz. through the security check- point and officers may ask travelers to separate some food from carry-ons for screening in X-ray machines.
Although you can’t bring beverages through screen- ing, you can bring an empty water bottle from home and fill it up at filling stations on the concourses, or you can buy a beverage after pass- ing through security.
