One terminal, five concourses, and a walk rather than a train.
Everything off one atrium
Charlotte is a single terminal with five concourses fanning out from a central hall the airport calls the Atrium. Concourses A to E, and you walk to all of them. There is no train and no shuttle inside the building, which is unusual for a hub this size.
Which floor
Ticketing sits above baggage claim, and the concourses run off the level between them.

- Terminal · Level 2
- Departures/Ticketing: airline check-in and Security Checkpoints 1, 2 and 3, then the Atrium after security.
