In Atlanta, Southwest lists Concourse C, and ATL does not publish which side of the terminal each airline uses.

After security, DEN passengers with an A gate boarding pass can walk the A-Bridge, directly north of the checkpoints, rather than riding the train. For Concourses B and C, go down the main escalators or elevators to the Level 4 train platform, and DEN says the ride to the C Gates takes less than 10 minutes. DEN recommends arriving at least two hours before your flight to leave time for screening.

Atlanta's MARTA Airport station sits at the west end of the Domestic Terminal, between the North and South baggage claims, and Red and Gold line trains end there. After rush hour, MARTA says riders for Buckhead or North Springs may need a Gold (Doraville) train, then a Red train at Lindbergh Center. ATL says rideshare pickup is in the North Economy lot, reached through North baggage claim and out of door LN1 on the lower level.

Travel tips

Arrive early for domestic flights

TSA generally recommends arriving at least 2 hours before a domestic departure, more at larger hub airports during peak travel periods.

Pack a mixed carry-on

Keep a change of clothes, chargers, and any essentials in your carry-on rather than only your checked bag, in case of a delay or a bag that doesn't arrive with you.

Ease jet lag on longer routes

On longer cross-country flights, adjusting your sleep schedule a day or two before departure and staying hydrated in flight can reduce jet lag on arrival.

Screenshot your confirmation

Save a screenshot or PDF of your booking confirmation and boarding pass before you travel, in case you lose signal or battery at the airport.

Check in online when it opens

Most airlines open online check-in 24 hours before departure. Checking in early can help with seat selection and, on some airlines, boarding group assignment.
