Navigating ATL airport

Hoping for a quick response.

How does one get from International Terminal Arrivals to Hotel shuttles?

Thank you...trying to help out a young friend with limited English abilities.

To help your friend navigate from the International Terminal (Terminal F) to the hotel shuttle area at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), here's the step-by-step process:

1. Arriving at the International Terminal (Terminal F): After arriving at the International Terminal, your friend will go through customs and baggage claim. Once they've collected their luggage and passed through customs, they will exit the arrivals area.

2. Finding the Hotel Shuttle Pickup Area: The hotel shuttle pick-up area is located outside the International Terminal (Terminal F) on the Ground Transportation level (level 2). Your friend should follow signs that say "Hotel Shuttles" or "Ground Transportation" as they exit the terminal. This area is easily accessible and is clearly marked with signs in both English and other languages.

3. Shuttle Pickup Locations: - The hotel shuttles will be waiting in the designated shuttle area. They are usually organized by the hotel they serve. Your friend can look for the sign of the specific hotel or ask a shuttle driver if they are unsure. - If your friend has difficulty understanding English, it's helpful to have the name of the hotel written down in English and the local language so they can show it to the shuttle driver.

4. Important Tips for Your Friend:

  • Hotel shuttles run at regular intervals, but it’s always good to confirm the shuttle schedule with the hotel in advance.
  • If your friend is unsure of which shuttle to board, they can ask an airport employee for assistance or simply call the hotel using the airport's payphones or their mobile phone to confirm where to go.
  • Shuttles typically pick up passengers outside the baggage claim area, so your friend should not exit the building without looking for the shuttle area signs first.

Hope this helps your friend navigate the airport more easily!
