Local tip

ATL is the world's busiest airport (110M+ pax/year). MARTA is the fastest option to downtown — the airport MARTA station is inside Domestic Terminal South. International arrivals need 60-90 min to clear customs + recheck baggage. For 3-hour layovers: stay airside (huge terminal + Plane Train).
