^OCA REP, your memory does serve you correctly. You do pre-clear U.S. Customs in Toronto.

@OCA REP, Steve D, & atlantaguy

Thanks for the very helpful tips!!!
As mentioned above, I found out that I do clear customs in Toronto and it will then be treated as a domestic flight. The CAA Southern Ontario sales rep. thinks it will probably be the same terminal, but not a sure thing. I won't have to pick up my checked bag until Savannah, so all of the above are certainly going to help.

Thanks for taking the time to reply!!!

This validates the depth of our Korean community here. No wonder Korean Air is starting A380 service this summer.

Interesting that Atlanta appears to be the only East Coast city with an Asian destination as their #1 O&D international market. This is very good news.

I believe LA, NY, and SF are the only bigger US O&D markets for Seoul. And Atlanta is still growing.

Probably because a lot of the executives and Korean employees at Kia Motor Plant (West Point, Georgia) and Hyundai (in Alabama) go through Atlanta.

Trust me, that isn't he main reason. Have you seen our Koreatown? There are some pretty large swaths of the metro area where almost every sign is in Korean. Supposedly we have the fifth largest K-town in the US.

I think that GaTech and Emory probably don't hurt those numbers.

I just wanted to thank the guys again who answered me on an earlier post about a short transfer time I had at Atlanta.
I made the transfer with time to spare. For me the Atlanta airport was the easiest of any airport to figure out and get around, especially one of that size.

For anyone who has a transfer to another flight at this airport here are a couple of tips:

1. Go to the airport's website and under "passenger information", select "terminal maps", to get an idea of the layout before you land there.
2. The underground train runs through the "middle" of each terminal with escalators on two sides. Depending on which terminal you land at and where you are going will decide which escalator you take (they are labelled very well).
3. As soon as you get off your plane check the "city/flight number" on one of the flight boards (this will tell you which terminal that flight is leaving from)
4. The Train/Shuttle is right at the bottom of the escalator and they come quite often.
5. If you check your flight status and gate # the night before your flight, consider it just a possibility, they change often. Mine changed both going to my destination and on the way back. But don't panic, it only took me about 10 minutes to get to the correct terminal (both times it was 2 terminals away).

The only thing that was a bit confusing to me was, the night before my flight the airline flight status called one of the terminals "domestic south". You can ignore the wording, just go by the "letter" in front of the gate number...as in "D24" is terminal D gate 24.

Hope that helps.

It's interesting to hear of others experiences with an airport that you know well. I've always thought ATL is easy to navigate compared to others. Its linear nature makes it easy to grasp. It may lack quirks or charm, but it is easy to get around, if you can walk.

I agree. I haven't been to too many large airports, but of the ones I have been to, this was the easiest to figure out and get around.
