This no-frills, one-terminal facility offers you a slice of convenience with quick security checks and easy parking. It's a 12-minute drive from downtown Atlantic City and serves a less hectic alternative to Philadelphia International Airport. Here, you won’t find sprawling terminals or large-scale lounge culture but will appreciate the quick access to basics. ## At a glance - **Terminals:** 1 (Terminal) - **Airlines:** Spirit Airlines, American Airlines, Allegiant Air - **Distance from downtown:** 12 minutes - **Runways:** 2 - **Passenger services include:** dining options, a shop, and limited lounge amenities ## Terminals & layout Atlantic City International Airport consists of a single terminal. It's compact, making your travel experience straightforward and stress-free. The Beach House Bar & Grill, Dunkin, and The Great American Bagel Bakery are all located airside on the second floor, ideal for grabbing a quick bite post-TSA. The terminal is known for its easy navigation and quick access from curb to gate, often in 15 to 20 minutes, even during peak times. ## Getting to and from the city Taxis, Uber, and Lyft are all available at the curbside taxi stand with typical fares ranging from $20 to $40 to reach downtown Atlantic City. The rental car counters are conveniently located within the on-site garage, so you can hit the Atlantic City Expressway within 15–20 minutes of landing. Hotel shuttles and private car services offer additional ground transport options. ## Traveller essentials The parking situation is quite favorable compared to larger airports. Garage Parking and Long Stay Parking both cost $15 per day, while Economy Parking is available for $12 per day. For those awaiting arrivals, a Cell Phone Lot offers free temporary parking. ## Dining & shopping highlights The compact nature of the airport does limit dining and shopping choices. The Beach House Bar & Grill serves as a full-service restaurant and bar on the second floor of the terminal. If time is short, The Great American Bagel Bakery offers fresh bagels and panini, and there's always Dunkin for a quick coffee. Hudson News helps with last-minute gifts and essentials with its shops on both floors carrying local-themed merchandise alongside standard travel essentials. ## Lounges Don't expect traditional airline or premium credit card lounges at ACY. While there is a Signature Aviation FBO for private flyers, commercial passengers are left to make do with public seating. The Beach House Bar & Grill is perhaps the closest thing to a lounge, given the absence of formal lounges. ## Insider tips Leverage the small scale of ACY and its limited crowds to your advantage. - **Insider:** Get from curb to gate in 15-20 minutes even at peak times. - **Food:** Grab food post-security at The Beach House or The Great American Bagel Bakery. - **Time:** If renting a car, be on the Atlantic City Expressway within 15–20 minutes of landing. - **Avoid:** Limited power outlets at the gates; find a spot at Hudson News or the Beach House Bar & Grill. - **Money:** Compare rideshare and taxi fares as Uber and Lyft are often cheaper into the casino strip. - **Local:** Hudson News carries Jersey Shore items alongside standard magazines and snacks. ## Terminals (1) - **Atlantic City International Airport Terminal** — Spirit Airlines, American Airlines, Allegiant Air, Breeze Airways ## Dining (4) - **Dunkin** — $ - **MIAM** - **The Beach House Bar & Grill** — $$ - **The Great American Bagel Bakery** — $ ## Lounges (1) - **Signature Aviation ACY** — FBO lounge ## Shops (1) - **Hudson News** ## Parking (7) - **Cell Phone Lot** — $0/day · next to terminal - **Economy Parking** — Remote · $12 Per Day/day, $2 First Hour, $1 Each Additional Hour Up To 4 Hours/hr · 0.3 mi - **Garage Parking** — Long stay · $15 Per Day/day, $2 First Hour, $1 Each Additional Hour Up To 4 Hours/hr · next to terminal - **Long Stay Parking** — Long stay · $15/day, $2 for the first hour, $1 for each additional hour (max $4 for 4 hours)/hr · next to terminal - **Short Stay Parking** — Short stay · $22/day, $2 for the first hour, $1 for each additional hour (max $4 for 4 hours)/hr · next to terminal - **Short-Term Parking** — Short stay · $22 per day/day, $2 First Hour, $1 Each Additional Hour Up To 4 Hours/hr · next to terminal - **Valet Parking** — Valet · $20/day · next to terminal ## Ground transport (8) - **Atlantic City Expressway** — Highway access · null · null - **Hotel Shuttles** — Select Atlantic City hotels · null · null - **Local Shuttle Service** — Airport parking shuttle · null · null - **Lyft** — Rideshare · 7-8 · null - **Private Car Service** — Pre-booked car · null · null - **Rental Cars** — On-site garage · 15-20 · null - **Taxi** — Curbside taxi stand · 20 · 30-40 · Every 10 min - **Uber** — Rideshare · 5-20 · 25-60 · null ## Insider tips - _Insider_: Get from curb to gate in 15-20 minutes even at peak times. - _Food_: Grab food post-security at The Beach House or The Great American Bagel Bakery. - _Time_: If renting a car, be on the Atlantic City Expressway within 15–20 minutes of landing. - _Avoid_: Limited power outlets at the gates; find a spot at Hudson News or the Beach House Bar & Grill. - _Money_: Compare rideshare and taxi fares as Uber and Lyft are often cheaper into the casino strip. - _Local_: Hudson News carries Jersey Shore items alongside standard magazines and snacks.
