Water at Atlanta airport: where to fill a bottle

ATL’s amenities page names no water refill station. Bring an empty bottle through security, because TSA lists one as allowed in a carry-on, then ask a Customer Experience Representative or buy a bottle past the checkpoint.

Bring an empty bottle and fill it after the checkpoint

TSA’s Empty Water Bottle entry marks it yes for carry-on bags and yes for checked bags, and leaves the final decision with the TSA officer at the checkpoint.

A full bottle is a different case. TSA’s food list allows bottled water in a carry-on only at 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) or less, and its liquids rule sends larger containers to checked baggage. Pour a full bottle out before you reach the line and fill it once you’re through.

Where to ask for a fill-up

Customer Experience Representatives answer questions, give directions and help at security checkpoints throughout the airport. They stand at the Domestic Terminal’s west crossover and in the transportation mall at the Plane Train. Our water refill page and information desks page show both posts.

Buying water instead

The Coca-Cola vending machines on the concourses are listed as open 24 hours, and our vending page gives each machine’s gate. ATL doesn’t publish what they hold. The airport’s map lists bottled water at many food counters, including every Starbucks and both Qdobas. Our food and shops directory sorts them by concourse. Our open 24 hours guide names what stays open overnight.
