While I am less familiar with ATL, I understand that she'll clear immigration and customs at F and then need to proceed to T with her wheelie hand-lugagge.

She does't feel confident taking the train as it does't seem to have seats and the acceleration at stops may cause her to lose her balance.

Does the walking tunnel between concourses have moving walkways throughout? (I know there will be gaps between them but do they stretch between all concourses?) She would be ok with these. If so, does anyone know roughly the travel time from F to T using them?

Also are golf carts available for travel through the tunnel? How would she go about requesting one?

Thanks in advance.
Easiest thing to do would be to request assistance (cart/wheelchair) from gate to gate via the airline. But, there are seats on the people mover...they're just for these cases and located at the ends of each car. The walking tunnel would likely be too much for her. It's a very long way from F to T.
