Recommendations After Arriving at Charlotte Airport (CLT)
Based on hundreds of reviews on Google, TripAdvisor, Skytrax, and Yelp, these are the most useful recommendations for those arriving at Charlotte Douglas Airport. CLT is a busy and constantly expanding airport, which presents advantages and some challenges.
🧳 Carry-on Luggage
Make sure to check your seat and compartments before leaving the plane. Several travelers have reported losing valuable items, and the lost and found service can be difficult to contact at CLT.
🔁 Connecting Flights
This airport is large and does not have an internal train. If you have a tight connection, be prepared to walk a lot, especially from Terminal A to E. Some report journeys of over 15 minutes. Ideally, leave 1 hour between flights.
🎒 Checked Baggage
The baggage claim area can be chaotic during peak hours. Some users indicate that carousels change without prior notice. If you have doubts, ask staff directly or check the flight screen.
🛂 Immigration and Customs
Although the Global Entry process is usually fast, many travelers indicate that there is no clear signage towards TSA PreCheck afterwards. It is also common to have to wait for luggage in the rain or without protection if arriving from international flights.
🚶 Public Arrivals Hall
Once you exit to the public area, follow signs for ground transportation. Uber and Lyft pick up in well-marked designated areas, but there is sometimes congestion. Avoid using unofficial taxis.

🛋️ Services and Amenities
If you have time before leaving the airport, you can relax in CLT's iconic rocking chairs. You will also find recommended restaurants like Bojangles or 1897 Market (although the latter has mixed reviews). View available services.
♿ Special Needs and Accessibility
Some elderly passengers have reported difficulties due to a lack of seating and long walks. If traveling with reduced mobility, request assistance in advance. The airport offers wheelchairs, but the service can be slow.
🅿️ Parking Options
Consider the Cell Phone Lot if you are only picking up passengers. It is free and allows you to wait in your car without blocking access. Check rates and locations here.
⚠️ Theft and Scam Prevention
Some passengers have been approached by people posing as drivers or guides. Use only authorized services. It is also common for forgotten items not to be easily recovered due to lack of communication with staff.
