Atlanta, Georgia airport?

Well. I was on google looking for a map of the Atlanta, Georgia airport. [Not the way TO the airport, but the airport itself.] Because I have a layover there this summer....
And I've heard it's big.
So I'm scared of getting lost.
I'm 15, I'm aloud to be scared of an airport.
lol
So yeah.
Anyone?
Please?!



Thanks.
BIG help!

It's big, but there are plenty of people there to help you find your way around. There are also information desks all over.

For maps, the click on the link below, then click on "Terminal Layout" in the lower left-hand corner. You can find maps of the main terminal and the concourses.

It's not as confusing as you're making it out to be. While it's the world's busiest airport, each concourse is basically shaped like big long rectangle. So it's not like there are twists and turns and hallways and everything to get lost in. It's pretty straight forward. There is an airport train to take you between concourses.

I won't go into the terminal layout (where you check in) since you only have a layover; you're not a local check-in passenger.

As I said, each concourse is shaped more or less like a rectangle. Delta occupies gates T1-8, all of Concourses A and B, half of Concourse C (Delta Connection flights; ASA, Comair, etc.), a good portion of Concourse D (again, DL Connection), and most gates in Concourse E. AirTran is the other half of Concourse C and a few gates in Concourse D. United and American have gates T9-15, while the other domestic airlines (Northwest, USAirways, Continental, Midwest, etc.) are in the other half of Concourse D. Air France, Aeromexico, British Airways, Lufthansa, and KLM have various gates in Concourse E.

If you're flying on Delta, while you're not required to have your parents check you in as an unaccompanied minor for a fee (that ends at age 14), that's always an option. Then you'd be escorted from gate to gate, most likely driven in a "Widget" (car/bus) on the ramp. That would cost $100 each way.

Getting around in our airport is easy. When you get off the plane, there is often someone waiting to greet passengers and give directions. If your particular flight doesn't have anyone greeting it, then just go into the concourse and look for a wall of monitors with the sign "Departures" above them. Look for your next flight number and it will probably have a gate number assigned.

The concourses are lettered - T, A, B, C, D, and E. The gates are numbered - 1, 2, 3, etc. So if your flight leaves from gate D27, you need concourse D gate 27. If you happen to be arriving on concourse D, then you simply need to find your gate. They are sequentially numbered with odd numbers on one side of the hallway and even numbers on the other side. It's just like street addresses, if you think about it!

If you have to go to a different concourse, that's easy too. Just go towards the middle of the concourse that you're on to get to the underground train. There are also overhead signs that will direct you to where you need to go. Go down the escalator to the train, and get on the one going the direction you need to go. There are signs, and on the trains there are announcements and a ticker that tells passengers the next concourse that it will stop at.

When you reach the concourse your flight is leaving from, get off the train, go up the escalator, and follow the signs to your gate.

Trust me, it sounds WAY more difficult than it actually is. If you need help, you can stop at any gate where there's a gate agent, and they will direct you. Also, people who work at the shops in the airport can help you with directions.

It's not that scary.
I'm 15 too. I live in Georgia.
I have been a lot. It is big.
Not as big as some malls though.
So, if you don't get lost in malls then you want get lost there. Read signs and ask people.

and i had to go catch a plan by my self at that airport.
trust me u won't get lost. all u have to do is ask tsa security or flight attendents thats gonna be on the plan for help they WILL HELP U OUT ALOTT.

It's pretty simple. When you get off your plane, ask the customer service representative how to get to your connecting flight. If you're lucky, it will be in the same concourse. If it isn't, just follow the signs to the other concourses and there is a train and walkways that go to the concourses.
Here's a map:
