Is anyone familiar with the layout of this airport?  I'm flying
through there on my way to Milan in a few weeks and I need to get from
Terminal A to Terminal E.  From the map I'm looking at, it doesn't
appear that there is any type of motorized transportation, and I'm
literally going from one end of the airport to another.  I'm
anticipating that I might be running late, and I sure don't want to
miss my connection.  I seem to remember that Atlanta airport had a
pretty good people-mover type system, but I don't see it on the map
I'm using (Delta's site).  Anybody familiar with this airport?

Thanks -- Ciao!

I haven't been there in YEARS but I remember they had like a subway type
transportation system to get you from one place to the next, as well as the
moving sidewalks.

Maybe this will help - I didn't have time to browse much through it,
though.

the airport design better illustrates Atlanta International's commitment
to smooth passenger flow than the one-mile (1.6 kilometer) underground
mall that connects the terminal and concourses. Travelers can choose to
walk, step onto a moving sidewalk or board the innovative transit
system. Its vehicles are automatically guided into and through
concourse stations at 100-second intervals, taking passengers to the
farthest concourse in less than five minutes - all at no cost to the
rider.
Hartsfield-Jackson’s Automated People Mover (APM) transports passengers
safely and efficiently between the North & South Terminals, where
passengers purchase their tickets and check/retrieve their luggage, to
the six concourses where travelers board/exit aircraft. The Airport’s
APM is the largest in the world in terms of passengers transported, in
fact during 2002, the APM accommodated more than 64 million passengers.
Trains arrive every 110 seconds during peak operation times.


*The airport is laid out concourse A closest to the actual airport and
then B, C and so on.  The movers travel very fast between the
concourses and are an except means of moving from (in your case) A to
E.*
