BEYOND THE GATE : ATL SKYPOINTE RETAIL & DINING PROGRAM AT HARTSFIELD JACKSON AIRPORT Sunday 07 October, 2018
I love my job where I am grateful to travel often that turns my work into play many times. I live in Atlanta, so I travel out of often in the busiest airport in the world which is Atlanta’s Hartsfield Jackson Airport. If you ever had the opportunity to visit and fly out of Atlanta airport yourself, you would know first hand how busy but amazing it can be.
I always brag about how spoiled I am to live in Atlanta because there are so many option to just eat alone if you are at the airport and hungry. When I go to other airports, sometimes I am disappointed because I forget not everyone has a variety of options to eat like my city. But this airport definitely has more to offer more than food, and sometimes I get shocked learning about all the cool things in ATL Hartsfield Jackson airport that I didnt know existed.
Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson airport is like a travel playground if you ever have extra time to explore and wander around. Did you know ATL airport hit a record $1bn concession sales in 2016? I am learning more and more as the airport keeps expanding and I wanted to share with you all about the ATL Skypointe concession program that really gives travelers the opportunity to know exactly all of the wonderful dining, shopping and other retail services this amazing airport has to offer.

Many of the retail stores I listed I genuinely didn’t even know was here at Hartsfield Jackson! ATL Skypointe is amazing with all of its retail and shopping concession it makes you wonder if you stepped into an airport or the mall?

I’ve had the pleasure of flying out of Atlanta airport once and OMG that airport is so huge but has so many options to eat especially.
Thank you so much for the great overview, love it! And your shirt is so so cool, made me giggle lol!!!
I didn’t know that the Atlanta airport was the busiest airport. I stopover there all the time and will keep this list handy. Thank you!
Okay – I need your t-shirt! This is super cute. I loved reading your post. Airport fun!
What a great giveaway..I am not due to fly until Novenber so I will miss the chance to win this cute shirt. In Atlanta, I used to stop at Pascals for good souyhern eats and the peach cobbler.
The giveaway sounds great. The place, people is too good. And I loved how sweetly u wrote about it. ❤
Girl the Atlanta airport is like a massive shopping mall. I have had the pleasure of taking the tram from one side to the other. I love the food and store options especially when I have a layover.
I like to people watch. I only go to the airport to pick up and drop off family and friends. People watching is so interesting at the airport.
Love the shirt, adorable. That being said, Skypointe is an amazing program! It is always good to know what retail and dinning stores are available at the airport.
This is pure genius! I can’t count the times I’ve had a layover and thought I was going to die of boredom while I at my bag of chips. all airports should start doing this.
That shirt is hilarious. I definitely need it. I just flew in and out of the Atlanta airport this week. There is definitely a lot to eat there.
I had a layover there last year and it was the biggest airport I had ever been in. I literally had to sprint to make my connection.
I totally love that shirt by the way! But I love that travel can be a relaxing event instead of the mad rush that usually happens for me
Love that shirt! I don’t have any good airport stories, although there are lots of fun travel-related ones. Hope to see Atlanta soon. The airport looks like it’s a great way to start my trip!
I love that shirt. The last time I went to the airport I wore my blog t-shirt. I’m not sure if it provided any new views or readers but it was comfortable.
We were recently in Atlanta for a family wedding. It was a great airport.
When I’m at the airport, I usually find a restaurant to eat and have a drink. I also read a lot. And I flown out of and into ATL, definitely a large airport.
Atlanta is one of my favorite airport. It definitely is huge.
it is safe to say there is many ways you can spend your time in Atlanta airport and its good there is so much choice
I just love the Atlanta airport! One of the better airports to have a layover at since there is so much to do and so much to eat!
I have never been there but that airport looks really neat and beautiful. My favorite things to do from the airport is watching people and talking and make friends with other people.
Looks like s great airport I’ve only ever been to my local one and it didn’t have any great shops or anything exciting! I love your shirt too, so cute!
Wow, good to know about everything that’s in the ATL airport! I haven’t been in a minute, but I’ll probably be flying there next August for my cousin’s wedding, and I’ll have to check it out then. That’s a really cute shirt!
I haven’t traveled to ATL yet but I want to! When I do I’ll make sure to leave time to explore the airport.
I do travel a lot as well and my local airports are Gatwick in the UK and Malaga in Spain. I have an airport tshirt as well 🙂
Love the shirt! My favorite thing to do is to just visit all the shops and try a food place that we don’t have ion our state.
I’ve never been to this airport when in the US but I love the range of shops they have! The t-shirt is cute too!
This is such a fun post! I have had some AMAZING meals and great shopping in airports! and btw I LOVE that tee!
My favorite things to do at the airport are hit up an airport lounge (usually Delta Skyclub) and people watch! I love having layovers in ATL because there’s so much to do.
That is such a nice airport. It is hard to believe how large it is!
I have not been to the ATL airport in a long time. They have great services there.
I like taking a tour out of the airport if possible. Otherwise, I like to find a nice comfy chair near an outlet where I can charge my electronics, watch a little TV on my laptop and enjoy a drink and or snack.
This is good to know. At least there are airports like that that are very attuned to the needs of travelers. Hopefully one day I can fly in or flyout from Altanta Hartsfield Johnson airport.
I’m so amazed by all of the stores they have in airports now. Sounds like they have some good ones.
very beautiful Charming and beautiful clothes
I love that t-shirt! My favorite thing to do is find a bookstore. You always tend to see the most unexpected books in an airport bookstore.
I have never been in that airport but seeing those photos of yours the place looks really beautiful and you will not definitely get bored once you are there because of their many amenities.
Wow, who knew an airport like this existed! It definitely improves the airport experience, especially for family and friends who are visiting in the area.
My fave things are the shops in the airport, second is hitting it up and chilling in the lounge before a flight.
It’s nice to see how tourist see travelling, living here, I think we sometimes forget to appreciate it.
