Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
IATA: ATL · 18 km from Downtown Atlanta · 22 km from Midtown
Best for all arrivals — domestic and internationalATL is the world's busiest airport and Delta Air Lines' primary hub, operating seven concourses (T, A, B, C, D, E, F) connected by an underground automated people-mover. International arrivals clear customs in the International Terminal (F), which is separate from the domestic concourses and requires a train transfer. Allow extra time: the airport is large, security lines at peak hours are long, and the baggage claim carousels can be slow.
