Flights - Rates - General Information

US AIR and Delta Airlines are the two major service providers for the Myrtle Beach International Airport. The airport is located in the downtown area of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Fifteen minutes from the major oceanfront hotels and golf course condos.  Most of the Myrtle Beach golf courses are within 30 to 45 minutes of the airport. Typical US AIR flights are one stop flights connecting through Charlotte, North Carolina. Normal Delta Airlines flights are one stop flights connecting through Atlanta, Georgia. During the busy Spring and Fall Golf season, seats sell out quickly. Plan to book your flights early. Early Friday AM and late Sunday PM flights are the first to sell out.
