Full Ride: ATL Plane Train at Hartsfield Jackson Atlanta Int'l Airport | ATL

[@FlostyGritter24]

Atlanta may be the busiest airport in the country, but it’s the easiest to navigate IMO

[@sammiegarrett549]

It's very unique. It basically laid out like a parking lot for planes..

[@ketanfernandes4094]

That airport is very efficiently run.

[@luigimaster7893]

I remember when I was in Atlanta with my mom, my brother and my uncle

[@Myfavoritecuties]

Cities I’ve flew to and from with that train ride: A = New York, NY B = Pearl Island (Okaloosa), FL C = Houston, TX D = Chicago, IL & Los Angeles, CA E & F = Mexico

[@ketanfernandes4094]

For me it would be the following T = Nowhere yet A = Orlando (2004); Columbus (2016) B = Miami (2000); Cleveland (2024) C = Toledo (2000, 2004 when they used to fly there) D = Detroit (2007, when NWA still existed) E = Columbus (2015); Guatemala (2016) F = nowhere yet.

You should’ve seen me in 2017 I was traveling a lot that year first I went to Atlanta to see my uncle and then we drove to South Carolina and then Virginia, and then drove back to Atlanta and then came back to California and then me and my family drove around and we went to Nevada, Texas, Utah, New Mexico, Arkansas, Colorado, Arizona, Missouri, Kansas City, and Illinois I’m never gonna forget that year that was really fun

[@ran4sh]

For me... T - No flights but I have accompanied family members departing from here A - San Francisco B - I don't think I've ever been here C - New York, I think (I was too young to remember the exact flights) D - Bloomington/Normal, Illinois E - Seoul F - No flights but I have family members who departed from here

Enjoy The Ride on the ATL plane trains

[@franky717-ux9rr]

Where do those tracks lead from at 13:02 and 13:27?

[@OhioGrandma46]

Those are the old crossover tracks from when the line ended at D Gates, and then E gates. When the line was extended to F Gates, the crossovers were no longer needed, so they were partially removed, but you can still see remnants of them.

Real life version of Black Mesa Transit System be like...

[@fabiodonovan9776]

On the Southwest airport information there is written that every Wednesday morning from 12:30 a.m. - 4:30 a.m. the Plane Train is out of service due to construction and that it will take about 30 minutes to walk between Concourse C and the Domestic Terminal. Will there be a full 24/7 service from July 2025 when the work is expected to be “substantially complete?

[@ran4sh]

Southwest has it wrong, the train always shuts down late at night (usually from like 2 AM to 5 AM) even when there isn't construction. It has never been 24/7

[@ZazzelTheGamer]

Did they slow the train down? I remember it went faster than that.

[@endofaneraoutnow3473]

Is it operated manually or automatically

[@brockhs2034]

Automatically

[@SpottinPlanesForLife]

@@brockhs2034 yea

[@SixSilverStones]

It’s controlled by computers with a manual control room override

[@endofaneraoutnow3473]

@RickO4404 oh wow thank u

[@AG7-MTM]

I find it appalling arriving international arrivals cannot use the train to leave, while similar systems in Denver and Orlando allow this

[@ran4sh]

Denver doesn't use the train for international arrivals. Intl flights arrive at Denver concourse A, and they walk on the bridge to the terminal (on a separate level than the departing passengers), the border checkpoint is located in the main terminal. I'm not sure what Orlando's system is but if intl arrivals are using a train, they probably have the border checkpoint within the airside itself so that passengers are cleared when they board the train.
