The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is the world’s busiest passenger airport with the world’s largest terminal complex spread out over one international and six domestic concourses. More than 11 Astrodome playing fields would fit into the North and South Terminals. The airport’s underground train keeps passengers moving efficiently between the concourses and the terminals. If you decide to hoof it instead of taking the train you’re in for a long walk through drab underground corridors. Not as efficient are the security checkpoint lines, which are straining under the requirements of post-9/11 screenings. Veteran Atlanta passengers recommend arriving at the airport more than two hours before your flight time on busy travel days to accommodate likely security delays. These issues and the airports overall out-dated appearance will hopefully be addressed by a $5.4 billion, 10-year development program that will modernize and expand airport facilities.

- Pros & Cons of using Airport Door-to-Door Shuttles

The main advantage of these airport shuttles is the cost – typically you can save half or more compared to a taxi. Also, the rate is fixed, so if your airport shuttle gets stuck in traffic coming from Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta Airport, you still pay the same. The disadvantages are that you share the ride with other passengers, and may find that if you are going to Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta Airport, you might be the first pickup, and may make several stops until your shuttle van is full. The same holds if you use an airport shuttle going to Atlanta from ATL airport. Some of the shuttles that leave the airport are on a schedule, meaning they leave at designated times. Others may only leave once the shuttle is full. Its best to ask first to make sure!
- Shuttle van/limo Tipping Etiquette:
- Shared ride shuttles: if you’re taking bags and the driver helps you loading/unloading them, its appropriate to give the driver a few bucks for his/her efforts.
- Sedans/limos: the most appropriate form of tipping is a percentage of the fare, usually around 15%. Drivers derive much of their income from tips and usually deserve a gratuity if their service was satisfactory.
