TPA → ACY
Which side of the plane to sit from Tampa International Airport (Tampa) to Atlantic City International Airport (Atlantic City)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a superior view of the Atlantic coastline, the distinctive barrier islands of the Outer Banks, and a direct view of the Jersey Shore and Atlantic City skyline upon arrival.
Gulf Coast Shoreline
Stunning views of the Pinellas County beaches and the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Mexico during departure.
The Space Coast
Distant views of Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center as the flight heads north-northeast.
The Outer Banks
A spectacular view of the thin strip of barrier islands and the sound side of North Carolina's coast.
Norfolk Naval Base
Aerial perspective of the massive naval facilities and the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay.
Atlantic City Boardwalk
A prime view of the iconic casino towers, Steel Pier, and the Atlantic coastline just before landing at ACY.
For the most scenic experience, book a window seat on the right side. This side is especially rewarding on morning flights to see the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. Ensure your window is clear for the descent, as the view of the Atlantic City boardwalk is a major highlight of this route.
Tampa Cityscape
Immediate views of downtown Tampa and the Hillsborough River shortly after takeoff from TPA.
Central Florida Lakes
Bird's-eye view of the numerous sinkhole lakes and lush vegetation of the Florida interior during climb.
The Piedmont Region
Land-locked views of the rolling hills and urban centers of the Carolinas and Virginia.
Delaware Bay
As the plane descends, you may see the vast waters of the Delaware Bay separating Delaware and New Jersey.
Philadelphia Horizon
On clear days during the final approach, the distant skyline of Philadelphia can be seen to the northwest.
Choose the left side for inland views and to avoid the direct glare of the sun on morning flights. It offers better views of the urban sprawl of the Mid-Atlantic corridor during the final descent phase.
