Why fly to Myrtle Beach?
The Grand Strand draws over 14 million visitors a year, and the airport reflects that appetite for access. Major carriers including Delta, American, United, and Southwest all serve MYR, alongside budget options like Frontier, Allegiant, and Spirit — which means competitive fares if you book smart. The Denver route alone opens up ski season connections and Rocky Mountain getaways that most beach-town airports simply can't offer. Locals also use MYR as a genuine alternative to driving two hours to Charlotte or Columbia, especially when Spirit or Frontier drops fares low enough to make the math obvious. It's not a hub, but it behaves like one in the right months.

Tips for travelers at MYR
The airport sits just two miles from the main strip, which is either convenient or dangerously tempting depending on your self-control. Rental cars are the dominant ground transport option — rideshares work but surge pricing during summer weekends can sting. If you're flying between June and August, book early; capacity tightens fast when half the Eastern Seaboard decides simultaneously that they need saltwater and fried seafood. Winter departures are calmer, cheaper, and often the sweet spot for travelers who want the Gulf Stream warmth without the crowds pressing in from every direction.
