Thanks for sharing!! 💚

Quick history: the “main terminal” which is B/C plus the atrium, was the “new” CLT opened in the early 80s which became a hub for Piedmont. The expansion wing of original A followed next, originally a straight shot down that hallway, but new concourses are opening parallel to original A. Terminal D added improved international customs/processing, while E as you note is for regional jets. Twenty five years ago most of E was just a big holding room where you’d be called to different doors for different cities; now with RJs and jetways replacing turboprops E is more like a regular concourse. The airport has grown awkwardly and until the current renovations pax originating and departing CLT still had to deal with the original 80s terminal. That should be done in the coming months. Still I drive from Charlotte to RDU frequently for lower costs and more choices.

Thanks for the video I have a connection through this airport in a few hours. It was great to know what to expect..

The trees are Living. Weeping Figs ( Ficus ). They have acclimated well in the terminal and have embraced the environment for decades.

I will be traveling to the Charlotte airport next month for the first time. Your video is very helpful.

Great! It's definitely busy, but pretty straightforward to navigate.

What a beautiful large airport, thanks for that Poko ...

I have an aunt, uncle and cousins that live there but originally from Ohio! Thanks for sharing.

Really helpful video, we are flying from uk next month and transferring in Charlotte for St Lewis. I’ve now got a better understanding of Charlotte Airport. Thank you

It's the sixth busiest airport in the U.S. There's hardly anyone there at 6 am. It gets real busy during the day. You have to wait forever to get baggage in baggage claim and they basically doubled the parking rates recently. I guess that's to help pay for the expansion and all of the upgrades.

Good video. However, your timing is off. No way possible its 6pm and that dark outside. The sun starts to in CLT a little after 8pm

I'm not sure if I accidentally say PM later in the video, but at the very beginning, I said 6 AM, hence why it was dark 😊

This airport is a complete shit show. I have lived in NC and flown in and out for 30 years. It is terrible. Flew in and out May 2024. Rudest airport people ever. Dude did not show check-in process and TSA experience.
