Has anyone been in the Atlanta airport lately? How safe is it?

[maryj11]

We have a layover there and just wondered if anyone has been there lately.
What safety precautions are they enforcing for the virus? I’m not sure if I want to get on the plane train, are they crowded? Should we just walk instead?
I did see where they had several workers come down with COVID 19 a few weeks back .

I can't help for how it's been recently, if it was me, I would let how much time I have determine whether I walk. Or you can see how busy the train is and decide based on that.

Ok yes we won’t have much time. How long does it take to walk from B to A?

When I do a Delta connecting flight at Atlanta, I use the train.

Except for the F concourse, it's a quarter of a mile between concourses. That's about a 4-minute walk. Double that (for slow walkers) and it's an 8-minute walk. Ride the moving sidewalk and walk, it's easily a 4-minute walk from concourse to concourse. The longer walk may be from gate to escalator in the middle of each concourse.

Thank you! I have been searching for a map like this one.

Inside airports are generally safe. Outside, with all the mobs, no guarantees.

It's 1000 feet between concourses and most of the way has moving sidewalks. So depending on how fast you walk, there you go

I used the plane train on July 14th and it was not too crowded, easy to stay more than 6 ft from others. On July 22nd I was there for a connection on my way home, but I didn't have to use the plane train. I did notice more people not wearing masks around the airport on the 22nd compared to the 14th, but that just might have been because I was there later in the day on the 22nd and there were more people so there more non-compliant people as well.

Ok thank you for the info. Sounds like some are being careless. Hopefully they require masks now. We can’t go into any place of business without a mask here in Ohio.
