Borgata’s charter flights from St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport to Atlantic City International Airport will operate on a Sun Country 173-seat 737-800 aircraft. Packages start at $553 per person and include roundtrip airfare, deluxe accommodations for three nights, and roundtrip ground transportation between the airport and Borgata. Reservations for the air-inclusive travel packages may be made by calling 1.866.755.7117.

“Introducing Atlantic City as a new Sun Country Airlines destination flying out of St. Petersburg is another celebrated milestone for MGM Direct since launching the exclusive charter program in 2008. Borgata’s location offers travelers looking for a quick getaway without a lengthy flight the opportunity to easily book their stay at the premier casino-resort on the East Coast,” said MGM Executive Director of Charter Services Sean Farrell. “In addition to bringing new and return visitors to Borgata for an unparalleled travel experience, the air program benefits greater Atlantic City, as visitors dine in area restaurants, visit its bustling Boardwalk, enjoy day life and nightlife entertainment, and participate in outdoor activities on the famous New Jersey beaches.”

“We are excited to announce a new charter package to the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa in Atlantic City with air-service provided by Sun Country Airlines.  Building on the popularity of the air-inclusive packages to the Beau Rivage in Gulfport-Biloxi, we are quite fortunate to add this new MGM luxury resort to PIE’s offerings and wager it will be a big hit,” said St. Pete-Clearwater International (PIE) Airport Director Tom Jewsbury.
