The Mind-Blowing Life Inside The World's Busiest Airport | Atlanta Airport

Interesting response. Hope it pays well because I'm sure it's a lot of pressure for staff.

Why doesn't Atlanta call it's taxi way Delta if your ATC like you say you are

@@FarmSimGuy23Because it can lead to confusion when you’re at an airport where Delta has 800 departures.

@@spades9048 I already knew The answer to that question but you Still didn't answer my question what do they call the taxi way then be quick and don't Google it

What do they call it then he quick don't look it up

The hero we don't know about.

Thank goddess.

@@billyfouronesix interesting, thanks!

very interesting!

@@jyothathi9566There’s also an episode of Family Guy where Stewie plays Darth Vader. He steps out of his arriving spaceship, and says: “we came from a galaxy far, far away; but we still had to change in Atlanta.” 😅😅

@@Mostopinionatedmanofalltime wow, I think I have seen that episode and I didn't get it then. But now I do!

Thank you for all the work that you do.

The airport runs like a dictatorship. Toe the line or get banned.

Funny because in GA they HATE that its the city of atlanta that runs it(racism) and wants the non black people to run it.

Might be efficient for US citizens, but as someone who had to go through the immigration process in Atlanta multiple times: Its fucking awful

That's because Delta Airlines central hub is here

it's been on RU-vid before. Guess the people who made it aren't concerned with copyright issues.

Ditto

Most airports are the exact same way, you would be surprised how the behind the scenes operations works and just how interconnected everything is. Even with this video, airport operations is almost as incredible as a beehive or ant hill at work. Day in and day out..24 hours a day 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Dallas ( AA HQ trams are some of the most reliable and efficient airport train system)

Who are the TSA? Never heard of them before.

@@BrianKitching-wv5nh TSA are the (Transportation Security Administration) and the are part of Homeland Security Department.

too slow, WAY too much infrastructure required, and impractical for a huge country like america

Probably not a lot of difference for a train station serving 100,000,000 people a year. Having to maintain thousands of miles of rail lines may be even worse.

@@kmir224lol what a lie. There can be both cars and trains, but rail is absolutely not impractical for America. You should be able to take a rail from Naples FL to Miami, from Atlanta to Savannah, etc.

@@BellaJoASMR lie? WTF? obviously, with enough money, almost anything is possible. also, you mentioned smaller, in-state rail travel. i'm talking about connecting major railways throughout all the major cities in the country

It’s not that it would be impossible to set up railways - in fact there used to be a lot more passenger trains in the USA than there are now. Most have been closed down or are only used for cargo (except for subways in the major cities), ever since commercial air travel has been a thing. The US is so huge that it would take a tremendous amount of rail to connect all the major cities as they do in Europe and some parts of Asia; plus trains are much slower than planes. Trains are better for smaller distances with dense populations, which is why they work so well in places like Japan, and still work for some US cities like New York. Planes are better for larger distances with less dense populations, which is what we mostly have in the USA.

Understandable

Atlanta is a much better candidate for a hub for both of those airports especially in the winter when it gets cold up north. Plus without delta Atlanta wouldn’t be anything so they get multiple benefits at the airport other airlines wouldn’t have.

Personally force my DL connections through Raleigh, Cincinnati, or DTW when I can in the summer just to avoid the Deep South storms. SLC is a slept on connecting hub if I’m going to the west coast or south west but not LAX

That's pretty simplistic logic, which is illogical for all of the moving parts. I love Hartsfield, even though they sent my luggage to Frankfort, KY instead of Frankfurt, Germany...

@@sellm_bc_arwhite4249oh lord 🤦‍♀️

Sam Chui has a great video on the food preparation in the Doha airport. Very much worth watching - I have more respect for airplane food now!

If you have any type of mechanical or electrical skills try and get a job in the facilities maintenance department. It will pay a lot better than working on the ramp.

😑

😂

Not true. People really over exaggerate the lines in ATL. Its never more than a 30 min wait, usually less.

Yes it is the busiest in the World

agree 100%

I work on the conveyor systems for one of the major airlines so if this ends up being a bit long winded, I apologize. The luggage tags that you put on your bag get laser scanned and entered into the baggage control computer. That happens when you initially check your bags. Once it is placed on the conveyor it will go through the x-ray systems and then to a bag tag reader (that is a laser scanner that reads your tag again). From there on out the computer knows where the bag is on the conveyor system by using a combination of photo eyes and tachometer encoders. Each individual section of the conveyor will have a photo eye, and a reflector, mounted on it , as well as a tach encoder.The tach encoders are mounted on a belt roller shaft. They tell the computer how fast the belt is running in feet per minute (Meters per minute in metric countries). The photo eye and reflector are mounted opposite each other on the outside of the side panels of each conveyor section. There are holes in the left and right hand side panels about an inch up from the conveyor belt. One of the holes will have the photo eye mounted such that it will shoot a beam of light across the conveyor belt to a reflector plate that is mounted over the opposite hole. When the bag interrupts the light beam it sends a signal to the computer letting it know that a bag just went by. That starts a timer. Because the computer knows how fast the belt is traveling it will also know when the bag is supposed to go by the next photo eye and reflector. It does this for every section of the conveyor belt. The short belts will only have a single photo eye setup. The long belts will have multiple photo eyes. If the next photo eye does not sense a bag going by it within the prescribed time limits, or if a photo eye has a bag blocking the light beam for too long, it will shut down the affected area of the conveyor system. That’ is when mechanic has to go clear the jam and restart the belt line. There are other things that will cause the conveyor system to shut down but what i wrote is the basic gist of how the system works. When the bag has gone past the requisite number of photo eyes it will be diverted onto either a luggage pier or carousel. That is where the ramp workers will load the bags on to the baggage trailers to take them to the planes. The ramp workers will again scan the tags to let the computer know that the bag has made to them. Scanning the tag also ensures that the bag is going to the correct flight. That tag with the bar code is what keeps track of your bag. When the tag is printed out there are two small peel and stick bar codes on the tag. Make sure that you peel them off of the tag and adhere them to your luggage in an area where they will not peel off very easily. Also put your name, phone number, and address on a piece of paper INSIDE your luggage on the off chance that the bag tag gets torn off of your bag. The airlines don’t want your luggage and they make every effort to get it back to you if it comes up missing. An Air Tag inside your bag is also a great idea. I hope that this answered your question. 😀
