Atlantic City International Airport will soon offer four routes to Florida through a new airline.
Allegiant Air, the budget carrier based in Las Vegas, announced its expansion to the South Jersey travel hub this week. It will provide flights from Atlantic City to Fort Lauderdale beginning Dec. 4, and add routes to three more Sunshine State destinations in early 2026. Flights to St. Petersburg and Punta Gorda, Florida, will take off Presidents' Day weekend. Service to Sanford, located near Orlando, also starts at that time.

With the arrival of Allegiant Air, the Atlantic City airport has significantly increased travelers' airline options. Spirit Airlines is the transit center's only commercial carrier, though it scaled back service and shut down its crew base in 2024 amid financial difficulties; the budget airline later filed for bankruptcy. American Airlines offers bus service between the Atlantic City and Philadelphia International Airport.
"We're thrilled to bring our brand of low-cost, high-value travel to one of New Jersey's most iconic destinations," Drew Wells, Allegiant's chief commercial officer, said in a release. "Connecting this vibrant community with several cities across Florida not only strengthens our leisure network, but opens up more affordable and convenient travel options for our customers in both regions."
Allegiant Air is offering a flash sale on the Florida flights out of Atlantic City through Thursday. The fares, which are one-way and limited to certain dates, start at $39.
