ATL Walkthrough - International Check-In to E Gates

[@sarahanshew8095]

This is what I was looking for! First international trip ever was curious about the process!

[@bozy106]

I’m glad it was helpful. Generally international flights will depart or arrive from Concourse E or Concourse F, however you check in at the same place. I also have a video of checking in for a flight to Italy where we departed out of Concourse F. Here is that video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJmqfJWomJ6Jms0

ive been through this airport several times before (where i just followed along with where my parents were headed) but coming up in july ill be going through on my own for the first time to meet my boyfriend in the uk (so excited!!) and was definitely feeling nervous about navigating to where i needed to be. this vid helped me out a lot! thank you for uploading

It is getting exciting and I am going to booked a flight down to California from Atlanta and to get ready to check-in airline ticket.

[@ganymedes62]

I'll have my first flight into Atlanta in November and I really appreciate your videos on the airport and how to get around! My original itenerary gave me a 2hr05m stopover to get from international to a national gate to continue my journey. Since watching your videos, I think that would be cutting it close, so I've arranged my stopover to now be 4hr15m :-)

[@ganymedes62]

For anyone wondering why I changed to a very long layover, this was so I could get my 'enrollment on arrival' interview done for 'Global Entry'. Ultimately I ended up taking a direct flight from Amsterdam to Orlando.

Ty sm, where does British Airways departures nd arrival? Moreover can I get 2 boarding passes, ie for my connecting flight too, from E check in at Atlanta

[@bozy106]

British Airways typically depart and arrive from a gate in Concourse F. Here is a video showing the concourse where these gates are - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnOoh2l-fsiJZqs

despite being the busiest airport in the country, this airport seems amazing

I really like it. I figure if I can manage flying into / out of ATL then I can do it anywhere!

I have a flight to Colombia on the 20th (Monday), and my gate number is E-7. I’ve noticed at 11:32 it says “Concourse F, Gate E-1-E-12” I’m a bit confused there. This is my first time flying on an airplane, and first time traveling solo. So once I reach E-7 do I walk up to the delta desk, and give them the information? Plus how would I know when to depart?

[@bozy106]

No fear… just turn towards the “Gate E-1 / E-12”. If you go straight it just gives you an opportunity to go back down another escalator to go to Concourse F and International Baggage Claim. I hope that is helpful. When you reach the gate just verify from the overhead screen that it is indeed your flight (It will have the flight number, departure time and destination ). Just sit and wait until they call for your boarding group over the loudspeaker (your boarding group will be printed on you paper or electronic boarding pass).

[@juangalindo-araujo5254]

If You Don’t Mind Me Asking , Why Are They Running ? Did They Not Show Up On Time ?

[@bozy106]

If I had to guess I'd would say it was likely due to a short connection. If they were flying from City A to City B but they had to change planes in Atlanta in order to get to City B, its possible that the flight into Atlanta from City A was delayed or late. This would give them less time to change planes/gates to board their flight to City B.

[@juangalindo-araujo5254]

So Short Connection Means They Give You No Time To Board The Plane ?

[@bozy106]

@@juangalindo-araujo5254 A short connection usually means that you have enough time to get to the other gate/plane but not enough time to casually sit back and have a meal in the airport. Typically an airline will not create a reservation involving 2 of their flights if there is not enough time to realistically get to the 2nd plane. However if the first flight is delayed in arriving it can make a short connection into an almost impossible connection. In general, as long as both flights are with the same airline, booked on the same reservation and there are no delays you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

I have a question, I have my first flight/international trip in a week and I'm going solo. How far can my family go with me thru the process when they drop me off?

[@bozy106]

In today’s security focused world, you can only go up to security with them. In the days before 9/11 family could go all the way to the gate, but no more.

[@lizbethtrevino6527]

I just have to ask. There’s self check in so why are all the other people in line waiting ? Do they not want to self check in?

[@bozy106]

They are waiting to drop off their checked luggage after using the self check-in kiosks (or the online app to check in).

[@goodmeasure777]

@Lizbeth Trevino, I was wondering also. So when you drop your bags off, you don't check in at the same time?

[@bozy106]

@@goodmeasure777 first you check in at the kiosk and print your boarding pass. Then you take your boarding pass and go to the line to drop your bags off. When you get to the front of the line they scan your boarding pass and take your bags. After dropping your bags you get in line to go through security.

What if your not checking baggage

I have a domestic to domestic flight, then a domestic to international flight flying spirit (atl- florida - Montego, Jamaica . Will I have to fly out from the international side of atl? When I land in Florida will i have to go through customs or go straight to my gate? Coming back is the same Montego bay-Florida- atl will I have to go through customs in Florida to get on my next flight or head straight to my next flight

[@bozy106]

You’ll end up leaving from the domestic side of ATL since that leg of the flight terminates in Florida. When returning you go through customs in Florida. The Florida to Atlanta leg of the return flight will me like a normal domestic flight.

[@TMFfuntime]

We likely land at B and fly to Punta Cana out of E or F. We land at 9:00 and fly out at 9:45! Will we have enough time? Will they wait for us? Thanks for your video!!

Yes, if You land on time coming into Atlanta you should have plenty of time to get to concourse E or F with a little bit of time to use the bathroom and grab a snack

@@finsterthecat personally as long as my incoming flight arrives on time I would be comfortable with a 2 hour layover. But I can understand wanting to have a buffer.

[@anuradhadatta7976]

Ty sm, plane train is compulsory to take to any concourse for international depurtures in Atlanta?

[@bozy106]

You only need to take the Plane Train for an international departure if it is in concourse E. If it is in Concourse F and you check in and go through security at the international terminal you will initially exit security in Concourse F so you will only need to walk a short distance to your gate.

Any tips? My layover at this airport is only 56 minutes and I’m scared I possibly may not have enough time

[@bozy106]

If it is a domestic flight, sit back and relax it plenty of time. If your flight into ATL is an international flight be sure to tell your flight attendant about the short connection. Often they will try to get you off the plane first before everyone stands up and clogs the aisles up.

[@sfjohn5]

that airport has changed from the last time i left from there O.O

I have a domestic flight to Atlanta and then i have a 1 hour layover to the international airport to mexico . Will that one hour be enough?

[@bozy106]

If it is all ticketed on one reservation with the same airline it should be enough because you won't have to exit the secured area of the airport. Here is a video I did of a realtime transfer at ATL, which took less than 30 minutes - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6iqYqCcicZlgtEsi=MDOm0NqhcinkC98k

Check out one of my other videos kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJmqfJWomJ6Jms0 at around the 48 second mark and you’ll see the section of counters where it’s contained. Also look at ATL’s map of the international terminal at www.atl.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Concourse-F-2020.png and you’ll see an over depiction of the check in area and see that KLM’s area is next to several others in the cluster of counters labeled “2”.
