With more than 100 million passengers arriving and departing out of its 207 international and domestic gates each year, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is the world’s busiest hub for air travel. Serving the Atlanta metro area and acting as a transportation gateway to much of the southeastern United States, the sprawling 6.8 million square foot airport even has its own underground train system to deliver travelers to its multiple terminals and baggage claim facilities.
But moving around its bustling buildings starts with getting yourself to Hartsfield-Jackson in the first place. Fortunately, Uber has you covered. Uber offers a range of options for getting to and from the South’s premier airport, including uberX, uberPOOL, UberBLACK and UberSUV and the list goes on.
Whether traveling to ATL means you’re coming home or just visiting, here are some must-know details for making the most of your visit:
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport: resources and tips
- Uber Airport Pages: Uber’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport page has everything you need to know about getting to and from America’s busiest transit hub. The airport has three terminals, so make sure you select the correct option when prompted by the app. Each door has a number, so check the sign above yours and enter it into the app. Once you’ve done that, your Uber will be waiting for you curbside.
- Terminal Maps: Hartsfield-Jackson is a massive facility. Having a map of their many terminals in your pocket will come in handy.
- Wait Times: Plan your travel more effectively by knowing just how long you should expect to wait in the security line.
- Flight Status: While you’re at it, make sure you get real-time flight updates for ATL from the FAA. And if there’s a delay, don’t despair—there’s plenty to see and do in Hotlanta.
- TSA Guidelines: Can it fly? It pays to play it safe. Review the TSA’s guidelines on what you can and cannot fly with before heading to the airport.
- Traffic: Atlanta’s traffic is no joke. Before you depart for the airport, check out the traffic report from WGCL.
- News: Stay up-to-the-minute with ATL news via Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
- Weather: Atlanta’s weather is usually warm and sunny, but better safe than sorry. Fortunately, the Weather Channel has you covered.
- While You Wait: In the mood for pizza and piano music? You’re in luck, because there’s a piano bar at Varasano’s Pizzeria in Terminal A.
Where to go in Atlanta
Atlanta may be a quintessentially Southern city, but it’s also a rich, cosmopolitan destination for lovers of food, drink, and culture. While you’re visiting the Empire City of the South, don’t miss these three hot spots:
- High Museum of Art: Locals call it “the High,” but visitors won’t want to miss this incredible art museum in Atlanta’s Midtown district. Founded in 1905, the High has an extensive collection of art from around the world, and its current exhibitions offer a rotating treasure trove of wonders for every taste.
- Heirloom Market BBQ: The South is known for its exceptional barbecue, but Heirloom Market offers a Korean take on an old regional favorite. Located near Cumberland, one of Atlanta’s many suburbs, Heirloom Market is must for travelers looking to expand their palates.
- Little Five Points: Like New York’s Greenwich Village or San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury, Atlanta’s Little Five Points is a hotbed of cutting edge art, music, and cuisine. Vintage clothing shops, record stores, coffee shops, and bars dot this area’s quaint streets. Visitors are sure to encounter the unexpected, and they’ll almost certainly come away with some new records or a vintage t-shirt in the bargain.
