🏢 Terminal Guide & Navigation
Atlantic City International Airport (ACY), with ICAO code KACY, is a civil-military airport in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, approximately 9 miles northwest of central Atlantic City. Operated by the South Jersey Transportation Authority (SJTA), ACY functions as a regional international airport, handling both domestic and limited international flights, primarily to and from leisure destinations. The airport features a single, compact terminal building, making navigation straightforward and simplifying the travel process. The terminal is thoughtfully designed across two levels. The lower level is dedicated to arrivals, housing check-in counters, three baggage claim carousels, and desks for car rental agencies such as Avis, Budget, Hertz, and Enterprise. This level also provides direct access to ground transportation options including taxis, rideshares (Uber/Lyft), and the Jitney shuttle. The upper level is for departures, where, after passing through a single TSA security checkpoint (which opens at 4:00 AM), travelers will find all 10 gates lined along one corridor. Amenities within the terminal cater to the essential needs of travelers. These include various shops, cafes, and restaurants, both pre- and post-security, such as Great American Bagel & Bakery, Tailwind Bar & Grill, and Hudson News. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the airport, and charging stations for electronic devices are conveniently located in waiting lounges. ACY also features interactive kiosks sharing Atlantic City's history and a sculpture of a soaring osprey, adding local flavor to the travel experience.
Airlines Serving ACY
💡 Connection Tips
Atlantic City International Airport (ACY) is primarily served by Spirit Airlines, Allegiant, American Airlines, and Breeze Airways, with Spirit Airlines being the largest carrier, offering numerous direct flights to popular leisure destinations, particularly in Florida. While ACY is designated as an international airport, its international routes are limited, and most connections occur through larger hubs.
For destinations farther afield, travelers originating from ACY may need to book connecting flights through major nearby hubs such as Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) or Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI). When planning such connections, it is crucial to allow ample transfer time. For domestic-to-domestic connections, a minimum of 60 minutes is usually sufficient, but for international connections, a more generous buffer of 2.5 to 3 hours is highly recommended to account for potential delays, customs procedures, baggage collection, and re-check-in processes at the larger airport.
Ground transportation from ACY to Atlantic City and its surrounding areas is well-organized. Taxis, Uber/Lyft, and the Jitney shuttle are available from the lower level. NJ Transit also operates bus route #554 directly from the Atlantic City Bus Terminal to the airport. Car rental agencies are located across from the terminal in the parking garage. Parking is available on-site 24/7 with a free shuttle service to various lots.
