The Arrival Process
By Roishina Henderson
Coming to Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport?
Officials at Hartsfield-Jackson offer these tips to help make
your travel experience a little smoother.
Baggage Claim Areas: Baggage Claim is available
on both north and south sides of the Airport terminal. Look
for the airline and corresponding flight information to locate
the carousel where bags will arrive.
Curbside baggage check-in is also available on both the north
and south sides of the terminal.
Passengers are required to have government-issued ID when
checking in for a flight. Passengers may be asked to produce
their government-issued ID at several different stages of
the check-in process. Please be prepared to show ID, as well
as boarding cards at each stage of the boarding process.
Automated check-in kiosks may not be available for all airlines.
Please allow enough time to check in at the airline ticket
counter, if necessary.
If you are traveling on an e-ticket or via ticket-less travel,
please confirm with your airline the specific documentation
required for check-in. You may need to have a specific written
confirmation/document such as a letter from the air carrier
acknowledging your reservation.
Common Use on Baggage Claim:
1) To identify baggage quickly, consider using unique
pieces of luggage or personalizing luggage by tying a special
knot from a scarf or bandana to it, or use an oversized, unique
name tag.
2) Remember to pick up the right baggage.
3) Check to ensure that the name and address are on the
baggage before leaving the terminal.
Oversized Bag Screening is located on the
north and south sides of the terminal.

one of the Pay-On-Foot parking stations. Keep your parking
ticket when leaving your vehicle and look for a ticket-paying
device that will allow payment with credit card or cash. Machines
are available in parking lots and inside the Airport terminal.
Dropping Off Passengers
Currently, passengers may drop off directly at the main terminal
for curbside check-in. Airline check-in is available on both
the North and South Terminal sides for most airlines. Use
of hourly parking lots, which are adjacent to the terminal,
are recommended when passengers need to escorted to be the
ticket counter.
Picking up Passengers
Arriving passengers can be picked up along the curbside. For
easy identification, doors on both the North and South Terminal
are numbered - 1 through 6 from east to west. Visitors are
asked to identify the door number and include the letter in
front of it (i.e., N-5, S-1, etc.). Advise the arriving passenger
to wait near one of the numbered doors.
