Transportation Logistics
The conference hotel (Marriott Courtyard Atlanta Decatur Downtown/Emory) is 16 miles from the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL).
The hotel does not have an airport shuttle, so you will have to navigate your own way to the conference site.
There is a MARTA station X miles from the Marriott Courtyard Atlanta Decatur Downtown/Emory. The MARTA website (https://www.itsmarta.com/) offers the following tips for using the MARTA to travel to or from the airport:
Tips for Taking MARTA to and from Hartsfield-Jackson
MARTA’s Airport Station is inside the Domestic Terminal.
Travel directly to the Domestic Terminal, between the North and South baggage claims.
Take the Red and Gold lines.
They travel directly to and from the Airport Station.
NOTE: if you’re traveling from the airport to Buckhead, Medical Center, Dunwoody, Sandy Springs or North Springs stations after 8:30 pm, you may need to transfer to the Red Line at Lindbergh Center station. Take the Gold (Doraville) train from the airport and transfer to a Red (North Springs) train at Lindbergh Center station.
Traveling to and from the International Terminal
Since the Airport Station is located inside the Domestic Terminal. How do I get from the Domestic Terminal to the International Terminal?
Depending on your airline, there are two options.
If your airline does not allow you to check-in for your international flight from the domestic terminal, there is a free shuttle service outside Baggage Claim.
If your airline does allow you to check-in for your international flight from the domestic terminal, ride the Airport’s “Plane Train” to the International Terminal at Concourse F.
How do I get to MARTA from the International Terminal?
There is a free shuttle at the arrivals level of the International Terminal that goes to the Domestic Terminal’s baggage claim. The Airport Station is inside the Domestic Terminal between the North and South baggage claims.
You may also ride the airport’s “Plane Train” to the Domestic Terminal Baggage Claim stop.
