may sound stupid but am trying to get from Chicago to Atlantic City.
Find systems come up no planes traveling that way , no flights from your area,or you have to make stops turning a 2 hr flight into 6 any thoughts. I was told only Spirit flys to Atlantic International but according to them they do not and was told you have to go to Phily and drive |

You can check yourself at http://www.acairport.com/ but I don't see anything that indicates direct service to Chicago. You could always fly into Philadelphia and take a train to AC. The train ride is something like about 60 minutes. See Amtrak's web site for details. |

I was told only Spirit flys to Atlantic International but according to them they do not and was told you have to go to Phily and drive Two airlines serve Chicago and Atlantic City - Delta and Spirit. There are no non-stop scheduled flights, so you will have to change in Detroit, in the case of Spirit, or Cincinnati, if flying Delta. There are also a number of options where you can change airlines along the way. Spirit does not appear to offer any flights with reasonable connecting times, so you are probably best looking at Delta. They have some trips with durations of 3:40 to 4:15. Other options include non-stop flights on a number of airlines to PHL, then driving or taking the NJ Transit train from there, or finding one of the gambling charters that fly non-stop to Atlantic City from Chicago. |

See Amtrak's web site for details. you wont find anything on amtrak's site. the one and a half hour ride with NJ-Transit from Philadelphia 30th street station to Atlantic City costs USD 6,60 . Trains are frequent. SEPTA runs direct shuttle trains from all PHL terminals to 30th street station. Amtrak might have thruway connecting service from CHI to Atlantic City, but they don't run any trains to Atlantic City. |

If you can't find a gambler's special direct to ACY, the best bet is indeed to fly to PHL and take the train. The ACY airport is out in the pine barrens not particularly close to the city and you have to take a taxi into town, while the train station is right in the city by the convention center and your train ticket gets you a free jitney ride to any of the casinos if that's where you're going. They're ordinary commuter trains so you have to lug your own baggage. To get from PHL to Atlantic City, go out past the baggage claim to any of the airport train stations, buy a ticket at the machine to 30th street, and take any train. At 30th st, go downstairs to the main concourse (where the Amtrak trains are) and buy a ticket from the NJ Transit machine for Atlantic City. The schedule is at: http://www.njtransit.com/sf_train_timetables.shtm It's also possible to get from Newark Airport to Atlantic City by NJ Transit bus, but it's very slow and I wouldn't recommend it.

True, Amtrak hasn't run trains to Atlantic City in several years but through tickets can be purchased to use on the New Jersey Transit trains. |
