New Jersey license plates abound in Palm Beach County, debates over the best pizza can be heard, and bars in both locations are gearing up for big crowds as the Philadelphia Eagles get ready for their impending Super Bowl appearance.<\/p>\n<p>The connection between the two regions is unquestionable, but for those looking for a \u201cwinter fling\u201d in either location, they may not need to look much farther than the very airport they\u2019re departing to find love.<\/p>\n<p>The nation\u2019s \u201cMost Romantic Runways\u201d were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.datingadvice.com\/studies\/love-is-in-the-airport-survey\">ranked this week by DatingAdvice.com<\/a>, a website that covers dating culture and offers expert takes on relationships. Atlantic City International Airport ranked the ninth-best airport as a dating hot spot, with a number of South Florida airports ranking even higher on the top ten list, <strong>which includes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>1.<\/strong> Palm Beach International, West Palm Beach<\/li>\n<li><strong>3.<\/strong> Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International, Fort Lauderdale<\/li>\n<li><strong>4.<\/strong> Tampa International, Tampa<\/li>\n<li><strong>9.<\/strong> Atlantic City International Airport, Pomona, N.J.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cAtlantic City International has a roll-the-dice charm,\u201d the authors wrote. \u201cPicture meeting someone while chatting about the boardwalk or planning a night of casino adventures. Romance here is as thrilling as a jackpot on the slots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rankings were based on a survey of 3,000 single travelers to rank the best and worst airports for \u201csparking a potential love story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>ACY\u2019s bigger cousin, Newark Liberty International Airport in northern New Jersey, ranked number 85 in the study. In South Florida, the most major airport \u2013 Miami International \u2013 ranked number 15.<\/p>\n<p>DatingAdvice also asked some further questions about airport crushes, and found that if there were a dating app which only matched people at airports, nearly a third of singles, 29 percent, would use it. A similar number, 31 percent, have already flirted with a stranger at the airport. And 20 percent of respondents said they would go so far as to change their travel plans for an airport crush.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what makes someone more attractive at an airport, 40 percent said it was the \u2018effortless traveler\u2019 look \u2014 someone well \u00a0or comfortably dressed, and who oozes confidence. Another 38 percent were attracted to \u201cthe mystery \u2014 where is their crush going?\u201d For the cynics among us, 14 percent said it was the shared struggle of air travel \u2013 delays, overpriced food, long lines \u2013 that helps spice things up when misery meets company.<\/p>\n<p>According to the survey, the best airport scenario for meeting someone special is, unsurprisingly, being seated next to them on the plane; 47 percent acknowledge that there is \u201cnowhere to run and hide in that case, and you\u2019re almost forced to talk to each other.\u201d Nearly a third said that getting delayed together meant you could bond over the utter pain of that situation, while 12 percent would be happy to be seated next to a potential partner at the boarding gate, making it easy to talk. A further 11 percent wouldn\u2019t mind being stuck in a long security line behind them, as that would also make it easy to strike up a conversation.<\/p>\n<p>As for how far people would go for an airport crush, a straight-talking 59 percent would simply strike up a conversation at a coffee shop or bar. A sneakier 24 percent would walk past their gate a few times to make eye contact. A few, 17 percent, would switch their seat to be closer to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAirports can be heady places for romance,\u201d acknowledged Amber Brooks, senior editor at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.datingadvice.com\/studies\/love-is-in-the-airport-survey\">DatingAdvice<\/a>. \u201cThere\u2019s an endless stream of people coming and going, hopefully off on an adventure, and the potential for talking to someone new is high. So next time you spot someone you like the look of, just start by saying a simple hello \u2014 you never know what could happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fb-share-button fcbkbttn_large_button \" data-href=\"https:\/\/shorebeat.com\/brick\/2025\/02\/love-connection-atlantic-city-south-florida-airports-ranked-most-romantic-in-usa\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much of the traffic that Shore residents are used to during the busy summer season shifts to South Florida this time of year.
