Transfer tips for Atlanta airport hotels
- If your flight lands after midnight, confirm your hotel's shuttle hours before you book.
- MARTA's Red and Gold lines both stop at Airport Station inside the domestic terminal, so you can reach Midtown, Downtown, or Buckhead without a rental car.
- The free ATL Skytrain runs between the domestic terminal and the rental car center and is separate from MARTA. It does not reach the international terminal.
- If you are driving in and flying out, ask your hotel about parking.
- If you are doing a one-night layover, a carry-on makes the shuttle easier.
