ATL: Getting to F-gate from MARTA?
Just saw my domestic flight this morning is departing an F-gate (domestic leg of an international flight)
I'm taking MARTA to the airport and wondering if I should do security at the T-gates and take the Plane Train or if I should take the new shuttle to the international terminal and do security there.
How often does that shuttle run? I have an 8:30am flight, getting to the airport about 70 minutes before, printed BP/no checked bag/Sky Priority.
(DL mod, feel free to move this to an all-encompassing ATL Intl terminal thread later after my question gets answered, it's sort of time-sensitive)

Just do security at T and then plane train it over - takes about 15 minutes on the Plane Train to reach the F Atrium.

Honestly I'd take the shuttle. Monday morning you're better taking security through F than SP checkpoint at T. There's a SP line on the far right but sometimes the regular line moves faster... it's a wash for me as the SP line often feeds to WTMD which saves me time from an opt-out.
Either way, with 70 minutes you're likely fine at either one.

I think it'll be a game-time decision when I exit the MARTA station and see if there's a shuttle ready to go. I just realized that no one will be flying to the NE today so hopefully not a lot of passengers.

From MARTA to clearing T security was 18 minutes. That includes Pre-Check but lots of folks were getting that this morning so time-saving wasn't much.
Plane Train to F took 10 minutes.
