What Terminal Is Delta At Atlanta Hartsfield–Jackson?

If you’re flying Delta Air Lines at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL), you’re in Delta’s home base. Most Delta flights use the Domestic Terminal (South) and a series of concourses A–E, T, and F that are all connected.

Below is a clear breakdown so you know exactly where to go whether you live in Atlanta, are connecting through, or are visiting the city.

Quick Answer: Where to Find Delta at ATL

Delta operates primarily from:

• Domestic Terminal – South (check-in, ticketing, baggage for most domestic flights)
• Concourses T, A, B, C, D, and E (mostly domestic and some international arrivals)
• Concourse F / Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal (most international departures and many international arrivals)

All concourses are connected by the Plane Train and a walkable underground tunnel, so you can move between them without leaving security.

Understanding the Terminals at ATL for Delta

Hartsfield–Jackson can feel confusing because there’s:

• A Domestic Terminal (split into North and South)
• An International Terminal (Concourse F) on the east side
• Multiple concourses (T–F) stretching out like a spine

Here’s how Delta fits into that layout.

Domestic Terminal – South (Delta’s Main Terminal)

If your Delta flight starts or ends in Atlanta and it’s domestic, you will almost always use the:

Domestic Terminal – South
6000 N Terminal Pkwy
Atlanta, GA 30320

This is where you’ll find:

• Delta ticket counters and check-in kiosks
• Delta baggage drop
• Delta customer service desks
• Main TSA security checkpoints for Delta domestic travelers

💡 Local tip: If someone is dropping you off for a Delta flight, they should follow signs for “Domestic Terminal – South / Delta”. Rideshares and taxis also use these signed areas.

International Terminal – Concourse F (for Many Delta International Flights)

For most Delta international departures from Atlanta, you’ll go through:

Maynard H. Jackson Jr. International Terminal (Concourse F)
2600 Maynard H. Jackson Jr. Blvd
Atlanta, GA 30354

At the International Terminal, you’ll find:

• Delta and partner-airline international check-in counters
• Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for international arrivals
• TSA security screening for passengers departing from Concourse F

You can start your trip at either:

• Domestic Terminal – South, then ride the Plane Train to Concourse F after security, or
• Go directly to the International Terminal if your boarding pass or itinerary shows check-in there

If you’re Atlanta-based and flying internationally on Delta, check your ticket. Many flights let you check in at the Domestic Terminal – South even if the plane leaves from Concourse E or F.

Which Concourses Does Delta Use?

Delta operates a huge share of flights at ATL. You may see Delta at multiple concourses:

All concourses connect via the Plane Train underground, so if you land in Concourse B and depart from Concourse E, you’ll just ride the train or walk.

Arriving in Atlanta on Delta: Where You’ll End Up

Domestic Arrivals on Delta

If you’re flying within the U.S. and landing in Atlanta on Delta, your plane will usually arrive at:

• Concourses T, A, B, C, or D
• Occasionally Concourse E for some longer domestic routes

After landing, follow signs for:

• “Baggage Claim / Ground Transportation”
• You’ll be guided to the Domestic Terminal, then split into North and South baggage claim.
• For Delta, you’ll follow signs for “South Baggage Claim / Delta”.

From there, you can access:

• MARTA rail station (at the Domestic Terminal)
• Rideshare pickup zones
• Taxis, hotel shuttles, and parking

International Arrivals on Delta

If you’re arriving from another country, Delta may bring you into:

• Concourse F (most common)
• Or Concourse E, with immigration and customs located nearby

After clearing customs, you’ll choose one of two paths:

1. Atlanta is your final destination
   • You can exit directly via the International Terminal (F).
2. You’re connecting to another flight
   • You’ll re-check any bags (if required), clear security, and then take the Plane Train to your next concourse.

🧭 Local note: If friends or family are picking you up after an international flight, check if you’re exiting at the International Terminal (F) or the Domestic Terminal. It’s a long drive between the two, and meeting at the wrong one can be a hassle.

Getting Between Terminals and Concourses

Atlanta’s airport is large, but it’s designed to move people quickly.

The Plane Train

The Plane Train is an underground tram that runs continuously between:

• Domestic Terminal (T)
• Concourses A, B, C, D, E
• International Terminal / Concourse F

You do not have to exit security to use the Plane Train if you’re already past TSA.

Travel times between concourses are usually just a few minutes per segment.

Walking Tunnel

If you prefer to walk:

• A well-marked underground pedestrian walkway parallels the Plane Train.
• Moving walkways and public art installations make it easier to navigate.
• Signage shows approximate walking times between concourses.
