Priority Pass ATL: What you need to know

Time to read min

    Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, otherwise known as ATL, is a major airport in the southeast region of the United States. ATL has a strategic metropolitan location and serves as the main hub and corporate headquarters of Delta Airlines. Amidst a populated airport, one thing is for sure: Having access to airport lounges can offer a respite from the hustle and bustle of the terminal. In this article, we'll share how to get into the lounges and restaurants in the Priority Pass™ network. 

    What to know about accessing lounges at ATL with Priority Pass

    Priority Pass™ members will find three locations at ATL to enjoy. One is a traditional airport lounge, and the other two are Minute Suites.

    To access any space in the Priority Pass network, you'll need a membership. Priority Pass is a membership program that provides over 1,300 airport experiences around the world, from spacious lounges with diverse amenities to attractive spas and restaurants. Access may be denied if the facilities reach capacity. There are several ways to get a Priority Pass membership, including as a benefit of a credit card, and we'll explain them below.

    Here are the Priority Pass locations inside ATL:

    The Club at ATL – International Terminal, Concourse F

    Priority Pass members can access this ATL The Club location, which has a welcoming open floor plan. The lounge is filled with several food options including a buffet, spacious seating, a full-service bar and quiet areas. You can also use the shower facilities to freshen up if needed.

    • Location: Concourse F, elevated mezzanine level, next to the interfaith chapel
    • Hours: 6 AM to 10:30 PM daily
    • Amenities: Wi-Fi, refreshments, full bar, workstations

    If you're arriving or departing flight is in a different concourse, you'll need to find your way to Concourse F. You can do this by riding the train or using the underground walkway. All of these options are post security.

    Minute Suites – Concourse B

    Despite the name, a standard allowance at a Minute Suite is an hour. Each suite sleeps two and has a comfortable daybed sofa, pillows, fresh blankets and a sound-masking system. Common amenities like Wi-Fi, TV, internet and air conditioning are also included. If you don't need a nap, you could use your suite's workstation. You can also access the latest flight information to stay on top of your trip's status.

    • Locations: Near Gates B16 and B24 (Concourse B)
    • Hours: 24 hours a day (with reservations)
    • Amenities: Wi-Fi, TV, internet and air conditioning, sound-masking

    If you decide to stay more than an hour, each subsequent hour is currently being charged at a discounted fee of $34 to priority pass members, payable to Minute Suites.

    How can I access ATL lounges in the Priority Pass network?

    There are several ways to get airport lounge access, including:

    Purchase a membership

    When you sign up for a membership with Priority Pass, you can choose from annual plans that start at $99. The membership levels suit different travel needs. For instance, if you want unlimited access to lounges without paying visit fees, consider the Prestige membership plan. The Club airport lounges participate in the Priority Pass network, so membership will provide access to The Club at ATL as well as the Minute Suites. 

    Get a day pass

    A single-entry Club Pass can give you direct access to The Club at ATL, described above. You can enjoy the same experience you'd get with a Priority Pass membership. Day passes at this lounge cost $50 at the time of writing.

    Complimentary Priority Pass Select membership with Chase Sapphire Reserve

    The Chase Sapphire Reserve® credit card has an annual fee and many benefits available to cardmembers, from rewards to travel and purchase coverage. It also includes lounge access by way of a complimentary Priority Pass Select membership. This provides the member and two guests access to all the lounges in the Priority Pass network around the world for no additional fees, including the ATL locations listed above.

    What restaurants can I find at ATL airport?

    Whether you're looking for a quick bite or a long cocktail, ATL airport has over 100 eateries throughout its multiple concourses. You won't have a hard time finding a cuisine you love as the options are extremely diverse. Here are some of the more popular restaurants:

    • The southern-inspired "Chicken + Beer" in Concourse D
    • The more casual "SweetWater Last Cast Bar & Grill" in Concourse B
    • "One Flew South" — ATL's first upscale restaurant specializing in sushi 

    In conclusion

    The city of Atlanta is known as one of Southern history. As the birthplace of Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., it has transformed the region into a true destination for art, food and culture. It also serves as the home of many corporate giants including Coca-Cola, Home Depot and UPS. It's no wonder the city also boasts one of the most important airport hubs in the world.

    Due to its heavy passenger traffic, ATL recommends that you arrive at least 2 hours before any flight, but give it closer to three hours for international flights. This should allow you to get through security with enough time to arrive promptly at your gate. If you have a Priority Pass membership, you may consider arriving even earlier to enjoy the amenities before boarding the plane.
