MYR → ACY
Which side of the plane to sit from Myrtle Beach International Airport (Myrtle Beach) to Atlantic City International Airport (Atlantic City)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft provides superior views of the Atlantic coastline, the distinctive barrier islands of the Outer Banks, and the final approach over the New Jersey beaches.
Grand Strand
The continuous 60-mile stretch of beach extending north from Myrtle Beach immediately after takeoff.
Outer Banks
The iconic thin strip of barrier islands and the expansive Pamlico Sound to the west.
Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel
The impressive 17-mile crossing where the bay meets the Atlantic Ocean near Virginia Beach.
Delaware Bay Mouth
The wide opening of the bay where you can often spot cargo ships entering from the ocean.
Atlantic City Skyline
The concentrated cluster of high-rise casinos and the famous wooden boardwalk as you descend into ACY.
Choose the right side for the best coastal views. Morning flights are ideal as the sun rises over the Atlantic, illuminating the shoreline. For the best photos of the Outer Banks, ensure your window is clean before takeoff, as this feature appears early in the flight.
Great Dismal Swamp
A massive forested wetland spanning the border between North Carolina and Virginia.
Norfolk Naval Base
The world's largest naval station and the dense urban sprawl of the Hampton Roads area.
Delmarva Farmland
The intricate mosaic of agricultural fields and small rural communities across Delaware.
Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the mainland. You will also have a better chance of spotting inland landmarks like the Chesapeake Bay's western shore during clear weather.
