Best thing about ATL is the woman who does the voice over on the plane train. Most soothing voice ever!
At least I’m not the only one that thinks that
* DEN Airport train has entered the chat *
Yes! I've been going from hartsfield-jackson long enough to remember when is was this robotic dude voice...lol... This one is MUCH better 🤣
I'm the early to mid 90's, it was a robotic cylon kinda voice.
Early 2010 it was the voice of siri
I've had lots of experience making connections in Atlanta, even as a little kid. In the early 90s, I flew from CVG to PNS through ATL as an unaccompanied minor. The gate agent who had to escort me through the terminal was in a bad mood that day, but I followed him to wherever we were going. He sat me behind a gate podium and yelled, "Sit there and DON'T! MOVE!" So I sat there, quiet and sniffling, for I don't know how long, until I worked up the courage to walk around to the front and ask the lady at the counter how long it would be until I could get on the plane. She looked at my ticket and said, "Oh my gosh, your flight is leaving from a totally different gate, and it's boarding right now!" She rushed me down and made sure I got on the plane safely. I wonder what would have happened had I missed my connection because I followed that guy's instructions. Would some janitor have found me asleep back there at midnight?
What a memory! Incredible how one interaction like that can last a lifetime as a memory. Meanwhile, wonder what that guy is doing these days?
@@GreenerGrass As long as it doesn't involve customer service or kids, I'm fine with whatever he's up to now. 😂
@@jonathankleinow2073 Hope he was fired...
Good story. Glad u were able to get help!
Wow I don’t you can do that now a day with all that’s going on kids disappear coming up missing
Glad ur ok in made the flight
I was just in Atlanta for a trip last week, and was in the airport for over four hours. I like how you can go to the other terminals and do spotting. I saw a few a350s, 767s, and Southwest’s Disney livery there, it was a very fun trip, including in the airport
I was in ATL last week too. Im constantly in and out as the girl I’m marrying lives there and i also travel a lot for work and live in the south. If you get a chance go to the top of the south parking deck. Great spotting. Have to reclear security if transiting but meh. Usually not too bad.
world class airport and extremely busy but easy to navigate. this airport is huge!
I fly into ATL on a regular basis. I usually add 10-15 minutes from touchdown to gate and another 10 to get to go gate to gate.
This is a helpful video for any traveler.
Thanks
My home airport. She's huge, and always changing.
A lot of people I have come across hate the Atlanta airport. I absolutely love it. It’s very easy to maneuver around, especially with the plane trains. Been flying in and out of there since 1997. It holds a very special place in my heart.
Back in 1995, when I was in the Marines, I had to travel from San Diego, CA, to Anniston, AL. with a layover connection in Atlanta. There were 6 of us flying together so we had the buddy system. We landed in ATL at about 11pm and our connecting flight was not until 8am the next morning. We took turns watching our carry-on bags at the departure gate in terminal C all night. A few of us smoked and we had to go to the designated smoking area in terminal B. We made several trips. Also, we were in our service uniforms (green trousers, khaki long sleeve shirt with tie and green jacket). Had many interesting conversations with various travelers. Good times!!!!
Airline worker here and I love when you said “just read the signs” when I tell you i’ve been screamed and cursed at because a customers luggage wasn’t displayed on the carousel. Then I verify with them if they came on my airline I work for and they proceed to say “no, I came on …” then I respond “you’re at the wrong carousel”. They of course are embarrassed but all in all they could of avoided that by just reading the signs and seeing which airline was dropping their luggages off and at what carousel number.
I’m a pretty novice flyer. First time connecting through ATL. Your video took all my anxiety away, thank you!
I know this video is old now, but I'll be getting a connecting flight soon in Atlanta and i was so scared because of the sheer size of the airport. This video helped me feel less overwhelmed so I thank ypu for making it 🥰
I love this. It’s a great help especially for flying noobies. As an aside, in the late 70s, when I lived in in-town Atlanta, I could make it from my house to the gate in 20-25 minutes. Of course, that was the older, smaller airport, you could park right in front of the terminal and there was no security. Fond memories.
I like the out of the plane videos you have been doing, don’t get me wrong, you do fantastic content showing your experience onboard the plane, but it’s refreshing to see other content. Thank you for everything!
I had my frontier flight back from Florida canceled two months in advance. So I connected through ATL on a 2 hour layover. I got a chicken sandwich at chick fil-a, and hung out for a bit, then got on my next plane.
I’m a giant fan! I really hope you keep posting I’m a number one fan I swear!
For those of you who fly Delta on the app it will give you directions to the gates if you need to step by step
The Walkway between C to D should be an Atlanta sports theme. Especially the Braves!
Great video about my home airport: ATL. I have to admit that on the evening of January 4th I arrived back in Atlanta on Delta airlines. I was walking towards baggage claim between concourses A & T through "Zimbabwe: A Symphony in Stone" and saw someone that looked like Jeb Brooks walking - camera in hand - the other direction. Now I know that this was actually the real Jeb Brooks, and this was the beginning of his walk through the concourses. I am sorry that I did not stop to say "hi". Please keep travelling and making videos!
As someone who fly's Delta a lot when traveling and enjoys making videos about aviation like you this was a very useful video! Even though I've flown to Atlanta many times before I'm still learning the layout every time I go there and i'm still learning new strategies on when I have time to film and when not. Thanks so much for the video Jeb, and cya In the sky! :D🛫👍
Perfect timing! I have a trip to Portland, Maine coming up and I’m connecting through Atlanta both ways. Having never been there his was really helpful!
Excellent video. That airport has some great art and exhibits. They are definitely worth the walk!
As someone who connects from Terminal D to Terminal A or B often, it's a nice bit of exercise.
Thank you so much for this video! I never knew that information about minimum connection time and I was getting anxious about my one hour connection (domestic to international) on my trip this fall. The walk through between all the concourses and the time it took really eased my worries!!!
Jeb, I gotta hand it to ya, this review of ATL and the various ways to navigate the terminals was excellent. I fly out of SMF to ATL to TRI several times a year and have been doing so for the past 20 years. I'm quite familiar with the underground tram, which in my humble opinion, is the best of all the major airports in the continental US. I've had several short connectors in the 35-minute range, but even at that, I've never missed that connecting flt. I rarely attempt to use any of the sky lounges or clubs even though I always have a priority pass. The other thing I'll mention is, as you suggested, quite a few really nice places to dine if time allows. Take care and we'll see you on the next adventure.
An absolutely fantastic video Jeb! I’d love to see a version of this with Charlotte and Detroit!😸
Great vlog as always. The 35 min connecting time is not only how fast you can walk from A to T but also how long it takes to transfer bags. In some airports they have a minimum of close to two hours!
I am curious about that. I am taking a domestic flight from DC than need to get to the international terminal to fly to South America using Delta airlines. My first international flight and doing it alone.
@@finsterthecat how did it go? How long did it take?
@@finsterthecathow long did it take you? Any tips?
Great video Jeb! Looked fun too film! Thanks for this very informative and interesting video!
You always get me hyped up for any upcoming trip or vacation and watching your videos just makes the upcoming days of said trips extra exciting but I visited family on a layover in Atlanta me even getting out was a nightmare but surprisingly checking back in was a breeze, bless my little brothers heart, he has down syndrome but he had a blast zipping around in the wheelchair with me as his wheelman 😂
Thanks for this video. It was helpful when u said "follow the signs" ;that made it simple for me to understand and have confidence connecting through Atlanta.
Thank you, Jen. Interesting vlog!
This is a great video idea! Super practical. I hope you will do more videos like this
seriously needed this because I would be having a layover in Atlanta hopefully in July to Greensboro this year. Much appreciated and I don't really need to worry as much :)
I'm actually connecting through Atlanta in 2 weeks, so thanks for this informative video! It will come in handy!!
Right before Covid hit I was flying home from the bahamas and my flight from Atl to Richmond VA was moved to the international terminal. It was super weird but very cool seeing all of the international planes that make the domestic planes look tiny.
Thank you Jeb - I have never lost my fascination with the ATL airport... as a kid, I explored old Hartsfield, which actually had an observation deck, but of course we outgrew that terminal about the time it was finished.... then, the existing airport was built, but none of us knew what it was to become. See you in the skies! AND... at the airport in ATL!
Best of prayers and blessings this year!! Keep it up
A connection through Atlanta is a story on its own. Had to make a connection from Concourse C to Concourse A and got there right as the 767 started boarding. I had to eat a boxed lunch, but still had time to use the bathroom before the 4 1/2 hour hop to San Francisco. Even in such a frantic rush, I enjoyed the thrill of Atlanta. Definitely recommended.
You are built different my man!
Man your voice, your cinematography.
Respect
Spent the night a few times in the ATL airport. E-Concourse is the best place to take a nap.
Thanks for the info. Very informative.
Great video, Jeb! I would love to see one of these kind of videos of SFO! They just finished a connecting hallway between terminal 2 and 3 I believe? So now you can walk between all the terminals post security. And they renovated the old ATC tower into an observation deck that is open Friday-Monday.
Entertaining video. Thank you for the tips. I am sure I will be using them because I will be flying there from Las Vegas then to Cleveland.
I've been through that airport so many times in the past, almost always Delta of course. That was all pre-Covid, and it could be incredibly crowded. But I still really liked the airport, and I did not mind the layout and the need to do some walking - back when I could walk well enough. Thanks Jeb for another good video, it just brought back memories.
Thank you for the video! Have a lovely week!
Jeb, I love this video. ATL is my home-base and fly 2-4* per week out of there. I just go on autopilot when I’m at the airport and never think about all the detail you talked about in this video!!
Very useful! Thank you!
Love your videos, Jeb.
Thanks for the info. Connecting in Atlanta for the first time and nice watch....
Really enjoyed this video! Due to the pandemic I am having to live my travel life voraciously through you, and you are doing a fabulous job! Now I challenge you to do LAX!
i’m from atl and indeed this my fav airportt
This is something I would love to do as a Senior. Love watching your video's.
Love Jebs upbeat personality
We flew through Atlanta on our way from Boston to Honolulu in 2018. I selected the 2 hour layover because that airport is huge. it took us 9 minutes to get from our arrival gate in C terminal, to our departure gate in the F terminal using the train...our flight also arrived 35 minutes early, so we had quite a bit of time to explore F terminal.
A video like this is needed for DFW!
A couple of years ago, I had to fly to ATL weekly for business for two months, and then a few more times after that for the next year. Never had an issue with ATL, getting bags took a while, but getting to the Rental Car Center was a breeze. I did the same thing when I had time, ready the history of Atalanta, very interesting and the rain forest was cool, and just rode the people mover back and forth for a while...lol...Safe travels and cheers from the Jersey Shore.
Hi Jeb brooks! Thanks for making this video! Atlanta Harsfeild Jackson is my main airport because I live in Atlanta! Love your vids
Great video and information! If I'm in this airport and have time, I will check out a few of the places in your video.
Subtle flex with the Patek Philippe Aquanaut 5167 at 5:54. Love to see the man know his watches AND put out great content...
Wow, this is perfect I'm coming from Greensboro, NC and connecting in ATL. THANK YOU!!
Great info for Thee world's busiest airport!
Put a walk through aquarium between terminal C and D :)
Most impressive thing about this video is that watch. That Patek is a thing of beauty sir. Subscribed just off that... plus my love of flying. I almost like airports more than the destination 😂😂😂
I honestly love this airport. As someone from Chicago that regularly flies out of O'Hare, I find ATL really exciting to get around. Granted, it's huge, but it's got great lounges and amenities.
I always fly out of GSO and my preferred connection is ATL. I know the airport like the back of my hand. Very easy to navigate.
It's easy to navigate but HUGE. Since Covid, I always walk to/from my gate rather than take the Sky Train (to avoid crowds) and I just about get my 10k steps!
Great Video! My Girlfriend will connect there from Frankfurt in march. She's so excited to see the airport
Yes i totally am
found your videos from the Jet bus from DC to NYC. Now I am going through your other videos. Please do more videos of "how to make your connecting flight" from different airports like Detroit, Chicago, Houston, LA, SFO, Denver, MIA, etc. It really helps people who have 45mins - 60mins connections
The next stop is for B Gates, B as in Brooks
ATL can be really stressful...glad you got through it...thanks Jeb!
This is so helpful. Thank you
Great and very informative video, Jeb. Cheers.
This was a fun ride. I live near ATL and fly out of there a lot. Before 9/11, I met my parents who flew in from Jacksonville, and escorted them to their connection for their overseas trip. Saw flight to Jacksonville in the background before your hike to T. Hi Mom & Dad!
thanks for the video
that outdoor lounge looks great.
This was pretty useful. Maybe it could become it’s own genre. O’Hare and Detroit immediately come to mind.
No master of the ATL concourses by any means but I used to be pretty good navigating through these areas. I can't wait to try something new on my next trip. Thanks again for your informative videos!
i haven’t flown to ATL in years so it’s really nice to have this video to get me back up to speed:)
ps the patek at 0:18 is crazy lmao
I just connected in Atlanta a few days ago it was the easiest thing ever. The train was easy and simple
I am coming up on 2M with Delta (about 15k short). I have never missed a connection in Atlanta - I have actually only missed one connection period - and that was in Detroit. Often times you remark about how truly fortunate we are to be able to fly in these incredible machines. I like to add how fortunate we are that we have such incredible airports and airport staff who make it all come together. ATL is a small city - all working together to get us from A to C, through B (ATL). Every once in a while you catch someone having a bad day, but for the most part - it is truly amazing.
As a tourist i got of easy with my pappi on tow back in 17'
I stick to the simple. Plan ahead and keep your eye on the info screen.
But when my pappi saw the big korean air a380 he asked: hey is that pepsi air?
great job
KATL is my airport so i am thankful 🙌
This video is going to blow up and hit a million views in no time. Good job Mr Brooks
I’ll never forget when I had an 8-hour layover at Atlanta Airport a few years ago when coming home from Spain. It was really brutal because my flight out of ATL left at around midnight, so I was super tired. Also, my departure gate was A34 too!
Wow, that's BAD. My longest ever layover was 2 hours in Frankfurt, Germany in 2003.
For a flight to Zurich! The flight wasn't even half the time of the layover!
It was partly my father's fault. If ICE (Germany's bullet train) had service connecting the two countries, i would have taken it instead but there's the constant problem: the Swiss Alps.
First time flying international
If I am taking a domestic flight from DC into Atlanta then connecting to fly to South America if I check in a bag do I have to pick up that bag and transfer it or does the airline do it for me?
Flying Delta
@@finsterthecat the airline will transfer your bag between the planes.
Love the Honestly.....I did have some of the experience from Jamaica to Philadelphia.
Great video! Love the F Sky Club too! So nice! The new SLC airport has an outdoor one too. So nice seeing Delta adding these.
I had a several hour layover in Atlanta a year or so ago, needed to get some exercise between flights!! It took me about the same amount of walking time to go from one end of the airport to the other. I did take the train back to my departing terminal though! I really enjoy the rainforest section.
Great job.
Hello Jeb!
Nice watch I’d love a Patek you lucky man 👌
tysm jeb brooks
Best part about Atlanta is the walkways, always nice to go for a little walk before a long flight
Thanks for the video. It’s funny it’s the first one I clicked on. I’m traveling to back home Little Rock, Arkansas. 😂
I always give myself a 3 hour overlay in ATL. I used to love to eat a long drawn out lunch at Cafe Intermezzo in Concorse B. Great flightline views while you eat and enjoy a beer.
Your voice is very soothing explaining a complex connection in ATL. They should use your voice for non-emergency announcements. I say they should start with ATL
Great vlog Jeb
One flew south and chicken and beer are probably my fav restaurants in the airport
Of Chang has gone down in quality Jeb
Good to have had you with us, Jeb!
If this is a series you're starting please do O'Hare, that airport confuses the heck out of me.
O'Hare is basically a few mini-airports that are amalgated together.
Hello Jed
Happy New Year 2022
Love this airport . Been 4 times in 3 years .
I never need to connect! I live here!
