New international terminal in Atlanta

Ann, I believe you have to ride a shuttle between terminals now.

Here is the brochure with information, maps, and all.

Looks like the shuttle is a twelve minute ride to the international terminal.

Assuming your MSP/ATL is ontime you shoudnt have a problem. Our ATL/MBJ flight left from a domestic gate/terminal only a few gates
from our inbound flight to ATL. 1 hour 40 min shoud be plenty of time on your return.

Thanks everyone! I have made this connection before the new terminal opened and had no problems but think I had a little longer time frame as well. I know when I made the connection before, the gates where literally right next to each other. Couldn't have been any easier.

Yeah, it looks like that is no longer the case. I didn't realize you had to catch a shuttle to the new international terminal, either. I read the brochure and was surprised. A 12 minute ride is a little strange!

Outbound to Jamaica I had 50 minutes between flights and made it just fine. The gate service person was able to give me directions to the train and it was quick. I had time to spare. They were offering to check bags free at the gate to increase the overhead bin room.
Upon returning this past Saturday the new area is nice and it didn't take long to go through customs once the luggage arrived.

There was confusion as the de-plane information stated that you couldn't put your duty free liquids in your ongoing carryon bag, but the overhead recording at the international baggage area stated not to open your luggage before going through customs. Some people were placing rum bottles in their suitcases anyway.

The checked luggage "re-check" area was easy. Then the re-scan for DHS, they could have used a couple more stations, still didn't take too long.

Many times we do our duty free shopping BEFORE heading to MBJ ............ gives you time to pack liquids in main luggage ahead of time .................there are numerous shops on the hip strip and elsewhere with prices competitive with the in airport stores
