Recommendations After Arriving at Charlotte Airport (CLT)

Based on personal experiences and user reviews from platforms such as Tripadvisor, Google Reviews, Skytrax, and Yelp, here are some key recommendations to make your arrival at CLT smoother. Additionally, you can take advantage of various services offered at the airport, including transportation, amenities, and dining options.

1. Carry-On Luggage

   Make sure not to leave any of your personal belongings behind on the aircraft. It's easy to forget items in the overhead compartment or seat pockets, especially after a long flight.

2. Connecting Flights

   If you're connecting to another flight and arriving during early hours, the airport offers 24-hour café options. If you're coming from an international flight and your connection is domestic, you'll need to collect your checked baggage and pass through customs. If your final destination is outside the United States, you don't need to recheck your bags after customs.

3. Checked Baggage

   If CLT is your final destination, proceed to the baggage claim area and find the carousel assigned to your flight. Occasionally, two flights may share the same carousel, so pay attention to the announcements. If your luggage is missing, visit your airline's counter or ask for assistance from airport staff.

4. Customs and Immigration

   Follow the signs to pass through customs and immigration control. If you're a foreign national, you may need to present your passport and visa (if applicable), along with your hotel reservation or the address and phone number of your host. Be prepared to answer standard questions regarding your visit, but remember to keep your responses straightforward and avoid providing unnecessary details.

5. Arrivals Public Hall

   Once you exit to the public area, private drivers will likely be waiting with a sign displaying your name. If you need a taxi, make sure to choose authorized vehicles rather than accepting offers from random individuals. The transportation options available are: Buses and Vans, Taxis, Uber, and Lyft, or Car rentals.
