Here is a 4K/Ultra High Definition tour of Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the busiest airport in the world (with over 100 million passengers in 2015). The tour begins with the international terminal (F gates), and then takes you through concourses E, A, B, C, and D before finishing with the domestic terminal (T gates). After that, there are some views of the airport from outside the terminal. Hope you enjoy! (Footage from 11/10/2016 and 11/14/2016. Filmed with a Panasonic HC-VX870K.)
I'm an Atlanta native. The afternoon before the new airport opened in 1980 I went there and started wandering around. The TSA did not exist. The new terminal was open because countless workers, employees, and delivery people were coming in and out, but no planes were arriving yet. I walked up and down every corridor, rode the people movers, and just moseyed everywhere I could all night long. Around midnight it was almost deserted, and there were times when I couldn't see another person on a concourse with me. I walked around all night until the first planes began arriving the next morning (Delta snuck the first one in ahead of everything scheduled), and departing passengers began coming in. When I left around noon the place was packed. I did this because in 1961 as a 7 year old boy, my parents had taken me to the "grand opening" event of the terminal this one replaced.
Today it's almost impossible to imagine ATL with no one in it. Must've been some sight
@@RojoFern I can't believe he said he was at the grand opening. Lol Dude actually turned on the light
I am also an Atlanta native. I remember going to the new airport before it opened, and people could ride the underground trains, and wander all over the airport...
@@RojoFern I've been there just to walk around and ride tram. This was around 2000. I was in huge sections with no other people also. For so long that I rode the little red trolley that may be for moving bags? Was like a little motorcycle. Was no one there.
You are absolutely correct. I was hired by a major commercial airline, DELTA, in the mid 70's and worked in the "old " airport off Virginia Ave.and watched the new airport being built. I too went to the "new" airport several times a week to see the progress. I actually watched. as huge cranes dropped the trains into the transportation mall. The "new" airport opened in September 1980 and is now over 40 years old. Originally there were 5 councourses. T concourse was the original international terminal. Concourse A, B, C and D were the original domestic concourses. Eastern airlines was the predominant carrier in ATL until Frank Lorenzo put them out of business. Delta did in fact have the first arrival at the "new" airport which was somewhat by design to beat Eastern from having the first arrival. Delta executives advised the pilots flying the first arriving aircraft to declare an emergency thus giving Delta expedited arrival ahead of Eastern by a mere few minutes. I watched Concourse E being built and it replaced Concourse T for international operations. I also
watched Concourse F being built which replaced Conourse E for international flight operations where it is currently being used exclusively for international operations. ATL currently has 7 passenger terminals or councourses all of which are connected by underground trains.
ATL has 4 parallel runways, two on the south side of the airport and two on the north side. They are adjacent to the councourses. ATL NOW has 5 runways. I watched the fifth runway being built. It is one the other side of the airport adjacent to Sullivan Rd. which actually had to be moved and reconstructed to accomadate the runway. It was built mainly for use by Regional Jets such as are operated by small carriers such as ASA reducing traffic on the other 4 runways which are used by larger wide body aircraft. The ATL Airport is the largest airport in the world and Delta is now the predominant carrier and surpasses the second busiest airport in the US LAX, which is dwarfed by ATL by boarding over 11 million passengers more than LAX annually although many airlines use LAX compared to ATL which mainly is because of the largest single carrier operation by Delta in one city in the world. ATL airport is actually a city in itself unrivaled by any other airport.
ATL is my favorite airport. Thank you for making such an extraordinary video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!
I love the Atlanta airport. Modern, massive, cool train running underneath all the concourses, and even though it's the busiest airport in the U.S., it still feels like you have a lot of space to move around and feel comfortable.
big planes are always so cool to see with your own eyes.
The Delta hangar with the "FLY DELTA JETS" sign has been there since the 1960's...
I love listening to the sights and sounds of the airports. I’m going to be coming here this summer to transfer to Greensboro. I’m flying from California. I can’t wait to try this experience.
Thanks for being patient about new vids everyone! I had a busy fall semester but now I have some vacation time where I can put up more vids. Lots of stuff in the pipeline, including airports and plane trip videos.
Also, let me know if you're getting a "There was a problem while playing" message:)
I can't wait to come to the airport next year when I'm going to and from Nashville from Dayton.
The new turkey airport is bigger

I am an Atlanta native. I moved to Beirut Lebanon ( after Graduating from Ga State) I love my adopted home of Beirut but love flying into this Internation Airport. Love coming home for a visit.
I LOVE THIS AIRPORT!!!! Thanks a bunch for this video!!!
I will gladly come back to watch this video, I love traveling and flying so I am certainly an enthusiast for these kind of videos lol, I love exploring different airports and seeing what sort of planes I can travel on. Still yet to get on a bigger one like a 767 777 or A330, yk anything around there but looking forward to it when I do more travel when I’m outta college and hopefully something like that when I get to go abroad next spring. Gonna have to wait and see, also the shot at 14:34 is surreal by how many people are in that one terminal
12:55 - I like the hallway with those giant leaves in the ceiling. Makes for a nice distraction from the boring white ceilings I've seen in other airports.
Awesome video! I love these airport tours-and the from/to info for the planes is a nice touch. Without actually traveling through it is impossible to explore airports anymore so it is great to see how terminals have changed and what new ones are like. Thanks for posting!
I'm amazed at how clean this airport looks
Excellent video. I love the way you catch snippets of other people's conversation. I feel like I'm eavesdropping! Anyway, that was perfect Sunday evening viewing - thanks!
BTW at 3:46 did the fire alarms go off? lol
wait...i should leave a tip for a self playing piano?? 6:06
He's been working there for years, his piano family need a future.
At 6:06 - tips in the tip bowl for the player piano. Hey, a piano needs to get himself a polish, and a tune-up from time to time. Plus the airport probably charges him outrageous rent for the floor space.
Gracias bendiciones buen viaje a todos
Great Work, Thank you for your Video, greet from Germany
If you're currently having trouble playing the video on a cell phone: this may be because CZcams hasn't yet rendered an HD or 480p version of the video. It's only rendered 4K and 1440p versions, which your phone may not be able to play. So hopefully a playable version will be processed by CZcams in a couple hours :)
OK, the 1080p version is now available, so it's working on my cell phone. If it's still not working on yours, wait to see if the 480p/720p version helps. Thanks for your patience, and in the meantime it should be available on the computer.

Also Los Angeles Airport's packed all the time.
KBurchfiel can you get an updated Charlotte Airport 4k video?
I love these videos. Please keep them coming.
Fun fact. The A330 at 27:23 (N820NW) was the same plane involved in the attempted underwear bombing incident in Detroit a few years ago.
Ah, the stinky bomb.
Every time I have flown through ATL, there has been some type of construction or remodeling going on. Even back in 1995.
This airport has changed so much since last year. They completely remodeled concourses t, a, b, and c. I haven't checked out d in a while though.
THANK YOU!!! You are the best man! I'm flying through ATL next month and was wondering if you would make a new one! You even caught QR! Keep up the great work! By curiosity, where did you fly to through ATL :)
Do a tour of SeaTac!
Chick-Fil-A!
Yummy!!
11:02, that woman on the lower right corner is mean muggin you, lol
The correct order of the concourses is T,A,B,C,D,E,F
i WORKED HERE FROM 2013-2019. I CHANGED NEARLY EVERY CEILING TILE ON CONCOURSE A AND B BETWEEN 2014-2016. THEN IN 2017 THEY STARTED PUTTING IN NEW CEILINGS AND DESTROYING ALL MY WORK! LMAO!
smoke was in atlanta's air that day you recorded. because of wildfires
Wow! So huge airport!!
Amazing video man!!
Concourse E reminds me close to SFO :)
I have more confidence that this airport won't confuse me, like lax will when I stop at this for a 2hour and fifty-minute layover. Iooked. at lax and it is huge and looks like a hassle.
LAX isn't too bad in my opinion, unless you have to exit security to make a connection (which is only necessary sometimes). ATL does have very easy connections given that all the terminals are connected within security. Have fun on your trip!
Nice video but next time leave each scene up a bit longer so we can absorb the video. You did correct this during the best part. The plane spotting part. Never seen such an efficient layout of an airport. Not flashy but pure jet efficiency.
Mooie weergaven! Ik houd van 4k of meer. Wat zou ik in Atlanta kunnen doen?
KBurchfiel hola soy uno de tus suscripciones te sugiero traducir esto si no entiendes mi idioma como sea yendo al grano me gusta tus tours de aeropuertos de Estados unidos es increíble y te puedo sugerir 2 cosas vuelve a dar tour del aeropuerto de Miami o de otra ciudad en 4k y lo otro es que tu será que puedes hacer tours de aeropuertos de otros países ósea los aeropuertos internacionales como el de mi país que es colombia Eldorado o mejor el de cali también puede ser el de España, londres, chile etc. entonces nose si puedes llegar hacer esos tours y nose también haz de los hoteles que te quedes y de aviones creo que eso te garantiza muchos suscriptores entonces eso te sugiero
I was at KATL in mid-December
Enjoyed!
Great Video!!!
VERY HELPFUL VIDEO... THX
At time stamp 20:20 you see a poster about Zika Virus and the time stamp is 2020. What strange unintentional foreshadowing. I wish I could go back to 2016. I miss flying here when things were busy and normal.
Love the video 👍I have one question though, how are you able to get into the airport with a ticket?
When I was in Atlanta airport in summer the airport was so crowded that i was squished and my mom tell me that be close to me.
And imagine being sick of delta because that is all I fly and once or twice airlines like united, american, frontier, allegiant, southwest,
and virgin america since I live in atlanta
Hi Kenneth,
i'm an Air Traffic Controller and aspiring musician from Ireland.
I've just completed an instrumental electronic piece of soundtrack, the title of which is This Terminal Life
Would it be possible to use some footage from your awesome video on an accompanying video that i would be using
as background during live performances and maybe as part of a compilation on a youtube video?
Naturally, full credit would be given to your work and if there are any sections you wouldn't want used, i'd fully understand.
Thanks for your time , Michael.
Can you do Cvg airport?
Is Delta still the biggest carrier at this airport?
Jacob Wang yes. ATL is Delta's largest hub
Hi, your videos are awesome. Can I use 10-20 sec of this video for a video I'm making about Atlanta?
Sure, go for it! Credits at the end (or wherever you want to put them) would be appreciated.
what's with those spider man toys at 1:08?
What kind of camera you have? Film are nice
1:21 AIRPORT. TELL ME YOUR SECRETS.
Bad news I will not be able to fly for now because of expensives and safety traveling on my own.
Is it weird that I miss the airport
Same, I went in the summer (2019) for a 4 hour layover. From SJC-ATL and ATL-MAN and back. I flew through twice in a matter of 2 weeks and even staying for like 7-8 hours total. I MISS THE DANG PLACE!!!. It’s an awesome airport, super friendly people there and I love every moment I was in there. So I hope to return someday soon but most likely sooner since I’m planning to go to the Delta Airlines Museum right across from he airport!!
1:27. 1:44 2:52 3:03 That Logo Looks Like Iran Air Engines
How much time did it take to film everything?
Tampa Traveller it took about 3 hours to cover all the terminals, but I got extra footage on the return flight.
any idea how long it would take to walk from B5 to e8?
How can i go from terminal F to terminal B please.Thank you
It's very easy--just take the train that runs under the terminals, and that will let you make your connection. If you have any problems finding the train, ask an airport staff member for assistance. This map should also help: content.delta.com/content/www/en_US/traveling-with-us/airports-and-aircraft/airports/atlanta.damAsset.html/content/dam/delta-www/airports/airport-maps/ATL.png Thanks for watching and have a great trip!
Which airport is your favorite?
People literally leaving tips for an automated piano...
One more thing, how do you get to the place with the view @ 10:45?
Tampa Traveller That's the walkway from E to F--nicer view than taking the train!
KBurchfiel Is it accessed from gate level or an escalator from underground?
pandemic times :/
3:47 What was with that loud alarm thing?
Flamethrower and Ruby It was a fire alarm.
i go to stlsnts look for zombies
👍👍✈ ✈ ✈
Hi is there an email I can get for you would like get some information.
The video is not working on my end.
Are you on a cell phone? It wasn't working on my cell
KBurchfiel yes
Busiest does not mean the best?
I don't recall anyone saying it did, not in this video or anywhere else for that matter. Biggest doesn't mean the best, either, if you wanna take it there. Anyhow, Hartsfield - Jackson and Delta Airlines are alright with me!
Busiest usually means the worst. But in this case, its different. Fantastic airport, everyone must visit at some point.
