Traveller Comments....
North Terminal. Source: «Gray♦ish», Wikipedia
"The main problem is this annoying red train that goes back and forth all night long. What fool thought up the idea to run a train indoors along the terminal ceiling?" - ?
"People were sleeping everywhere—hard marble floor, stairs, around the luggage carousels, ON the luggage carousels, in the middle of the luggage carousels (you normally don’t notice how useful that thingy can be), or simply slept upright on the uncomfortable chairs. " - Alex P :-)
"I found a unisex--handicapped restroom with a large sink/basin, and managed to wash my hair and take a modified sponge bath with paper towels, using my clothes to dry myself." - David
Recent Review
by Memphis
The Smith Terminal, where all the Delta Airline flights operate out of, is very spacious and clean. There are many places to hideaway and find privacy and comfort. There are some places where you can lay down where people will not even know you're there. Very few announcements. Relatively quiet through the night with only the overhead tram making continuous runs. All the shops and food services close so there will be nothing to eat late at night. CNN news runs continuously on giant jumbotrons but it is not very loud. In fact, it's difficult to hear.
