Onward connections

Customers don’t need to reclaim or recheck bags for connecting flights, however they have to clear security before heading to their next departure gate.

Delta’s domestic flights and departures to some Latin American and Caribbean destinations leave from Concourses A, B, C, D and T.

The Sky Train runs every few minutes and connects every concourse, making it easy for customers to get from the International Terminal to their next flight.

Meanwhile, multiple digital screens around the airport give them the latest status on their next departure.

Find your way from your phone

Customers using the free Fly Delta App will find a handy step-by-step Wayfinding map for the Atlanta hub in the palm of their hand.

Delta’s Wayfinding Maps use familiar technology to guide customers through the airport with ease, helping them locate the SkyTrain, their next gate, the nearest Delta Sky Club, shops, cafes, restaurants and more.

Bag tracking innovation

The Fly Delta App also lets customers know where their bags are throughout their journey.

 

RFID tags on all checked bags sync with the app, so they can see when their bag has been loaded on their next flight simply by checking their phone.

 

Customers staying in Atlanta will receive a notification telling them which carousel to retrieve their bag from.

 

Delta Sky Clubs

Delta’s Sky Clubs offer customers the perfect place to escape the gate and there is a Club in every concourse. Complimentary Club access is offered to Delta One customers on international flights or with same day connections to/from an international flight.
