Myrtle Beach Airport Streamlines Holiday Travel with Year-Round Direct Flights

Myrtle Beach Traveling Made Easy This Holiday Season!

As the holiday season approaches, folks in Myrtle Beach are starting to think about travel plans. Whether you’re looking to escape to a winter wonderland or head off to visit friends and family, it’s good to know that our local airport, Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR), is all set to make your trips smoother.

Flight Availability During the Holidays

Generally, summer is the busiest travel time for MYR, and it looks like this year will be no different! Airport spokeswoman Lauren Wehrung mentions that while the destination is becoming “less seasonal,” summer still brings in the largest volume of passenger traffic and flight options. So, if you’re planning some holiday travel, you’ll be glad to hear that there are good options available even during the cooler months.

January tends to be a slower month for the airport, which makes sense since we live in a warm-weather beach paradise. But here’s the good news—thanks to our wonderful growing community and the mild winters here, you can expect to see more flight schedules pop up starting in February, just in time for some spring adventures!
