Connecting Between Terminals for Lounge Access

Connecting between terminals at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) is simple as using the Plane Train. It operates inside the secure area, stopping at every concourse and terminal.

Passengers arriving on a domestic flight can easily travel to another concourse to access a lounge before an onward connection.

This won’t be necessary for passengers traveling on Delta Air Lines as it has a Delta Sky Club in every concourse, but it may be necessary for eligible passengers traveling on partner airlines or passengers flying American Airlines or United.

Hot Tip: Need help getting around the airport? Read our article on how to get between terminals at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

Best Credit Cards to Access Priority Pass Lounges

There are a variety of credit cards that include a Priority Pass membership, and each card has its own set of awesome perks and other benefits.

One of our favorite credit cards with Priority Pass lounge access is The Platinum Card® from American Express. This card includes access to a variety of different lounge networks worldwide, with others including Delta Sky Clubs (when flying Delta) and Lufthansa (when flying Lufthansa), amongst others.

Here’s a look at the card’s specifics:

Hot Tip: Check to see if you’re eligible for a welcome bonus offer of up to 150,000 points with the Amex Platinum card! (The current public offer is 80,000 points.)

Business owners may be interested in The Business Platinum Card® from American Express. This card has similar benefits to the Amex Platinum card, including extensive lounge access. However, the card has a set of business-focused benefits like a 35% Pay With Points rebate on first and business class flights booked through Amex Travel and up to $400 Dell statement credit.

Here’s a closer look at the Amex Business Platinum card:

Alternatively, you may also consider Chase’s top-tier Chase Sapphire Reserve®. While its lounge access isn’t quite as extensive as the Amex Platinum card’s lounge access, it does give you access to Priority Pass lounges.

Final Thoughts

As a main hub for the airline, Delta dominates the lounge arena at ATL, which is handy for Delta passengers or passengers on eligible Delta partner flights.

Being able to use a lounge in your terminal or concourse can save time navigating the airport and allow more time to relax before your flight.

Unfortunately, recent changes to Delta Sky Club and Admirals Club memberships mean that passengers must hold a same-day boarding card for an eligible partner airline to gain access to the lounge. Existing lifetime members (no longer available for new registrations) may still access the lounges when traveling on any airline.
