My family member has never flown, wondering if someone can meet him at his layover and lead him to his next plane
He has a layover in atlanta which is stressfull for anyone but its only 52 minutes and he has never been on a plane or in an airport, can someone meet him off the plane and lead him to his next gate so he doesnt get lost and miss his flight??

If your family member is elderly or if he is a minor, then you can arrange some options for him. But if he is a fully functional adult, then he is pretty much on his own.
Atlanta is not that difficult of an airport to navigate, but it can be crowded. Assuming he is flying Delta, they usually have someone at the gate to direct passengers to their next flight and they would be happy to give him detail instructions of getting to his next gate. And there are often information people at the train stations to assist people with finding their way.
Personally I would have booked him flights with a longer layover, as 52 minutes is tight, but still do-able.

Can we go out of airport during layover?
Re: Can I leave the airport during a layover? Yes you may, assuming your passport allows you visa free entry. Remember to take your boarding pass for your next flight with you otherwise you may not be able to re-enter airside.How do layovers work with luggage?
In general, if you're on a domestic flight, once you land for your layover, you'll pass through a transfer area that will take you to the gate for your next flight without having to check in again. Your bags will automatically pass through to the next flight without you having to collect them.Do you have to go through TSA again for connecting flights domestic?
For most domestic layovers, you won't have to go through security again. However, some airports have separate security checkpoints for each terminal, so if you land in one terminal and your next flight is in another, you would have to go through security again.Do I have to check-in again for a connecting flight?
In most cases, you'll receive your boarding pass for your connecting flight already when you check in for your first flight. This means you don't have to check in again for your next flight. If you haven't received it, you can go to the transfer desk or kiosk of the airline you're flying with to collect it.Man Stands on 7 Hour Flight Because of Obese Passenger
