RSW → ACY
Which side of the plane to sit from Southwest Florida International Airport (Fort Myers) to Atlantic City International Airport (Atlantic City)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular coastal perspective, featuring the Florida Space Coast, the Outer Banks, and the dramatic approach along the Jersey Shore.
Kennedy Space Center
Spot the Vehicle Assembly Building and historic launch pads along Cape Canaveral.
The Outer Banks
The stunning thin strip of North Carolina's barrier islands surrounded by turquoise water.
Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel
The massive engineering feat connecting Virginia's Eastern Shore to the mainland.
Delaware Bay
The wide mouth of the bay where the Delaware River meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Atlantic City Boardwalk
A perfect view of the towering casinos and sandy beaches during the final descent.
This is the premier side for morning flights as the sun rises over the Atlantic. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the Space Coast and again during the last 20 minutes of the flight for a full view of the Jersey Shore's famous casinos.
Jacksonville Metro
Bird's-eye view of the St. Johns River winding through the Florida city center.
Historic Charleston
Clear views of the South Carolina harbor and the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge.
Mid-Atlantic Corridor
Distant views of the Richmond and Washington D.C. skylines depending on the flight corridor.
Philadelphia Skyline
As the plane descends toward ACY, the Philadelphia skyline is often visible to the west.
Sit on the left for evening flights to avoid direct glare and enjoy the sunset over the Appalachian foothills. This side is better for observing inland urban centers and the lush greenery of the Carolinas.
