The Hartsfield Jackson International Airport is one of the busiest
airports in the world and has an easy access to direct flights to and
from a variety of domestic and international locations. The airport has
an easy to navigate website that will supply all information you may
require with regards to planning your arrival and departure from
Atlanta, Georgia USA. http://www.atlanta-airport.com
*Ground Transportation Information*
*Important Information for International Arrivals and Departures*
International shuttle connector: Because Atlanta-bound passengers cannot
access secured areas of the Airport after they pick up their luggage at
the international terminal baggage claim, the Airport has established
shuttle services to link passengers at the international terminal with
existing facilities.
The international shuttle connector offers direct service from the
international terminal to two locations:
* Existing facilities — A 12-minute shuttle ride connects the
international terminal with the domestic terminal’s ground
transportation center at the west end of the building. From here,
passengers can access the domestic terminal, parking areas and MARTA
train service to downtown.
* Rental car center — A 15-minute shuttle ride links passengers with the
rental car center, which houses all rental car transaction counters and
vehicles.
The international shuttle connector is a free service and operates 24
hours a day.
*MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transportation Authority)*
MARTA is Atlanta’s local public transportation system. The Hyatt Regency
Atlanta is located in the heart of downtown on historic Peachtree
Street, and offers an indoor connection to the Peachtree Center Station
of the MARTA public rail system making it just 15 minutes from
Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport.

Airport to the hotel. It runs 6 a.m. to midnight from the airport and
it leaves the hotel every 10 and 40 minutes after the hour. $US 16.50
one way/$US 29.00 round trip per person.
Most shared-ride shuttles pick up on the Green Bus Aisle, which is
