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.
