Flights to Myrtle Beach

You want to use your hard-earned vacation time to work on your putting stroke on as many different courses as possible. Your better half wants to cut a rug Carolina Shag dancing all night long. And you both want to spend some lazy afternoons counting the clouds float across the baby-blue sky. You could book three separate vacations—or you could head to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and experience all three idyllic getaways at once. For a vacation that is filled with fun-in-the-sun beach activities, gorgeous gold courses, and amusements galore for all ages, check out flights to Myrtle Beach. The shining star of the Grand Strand (the 60-mile-long stretch running from Little River to Pawley's Island) Myrtle Beach is known as both the "Sun Fun Capital" and "Golf Capital of the World." Its boardwalk has been voted one of the nation's best, and there's no better way to see it than from the top of the iconic 200-foot-tall SkyWheel. Fly into Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) dressed and ready to play in the sand or on the links. When you book your Myrtle Beach plane tickets through Travelocity, you’ll save enough to buy a few extra rounds—whether they be rounds of golf at the country club or rounds of drinks at the boardwalk beach club.

Transportation from MYR

Once your Myrtle Beach flight touches down, you’re undoubtedly going to want to drop your clubs off at your hotel and freshen up before you begin exploring the area. Stay in one of the many hotels close to Myrtle Beach airport and you'll be a five-minute ride to area attractions like Family Kingdom amusement park, Myrtle Beach Pavilion, the Children's Museum of South Carolina, Market Common, and the beach. Head west a few minutes and you'll be teeing off in golf heaven. The best way to get around in Myrtle Beach is via car; find a slew of car-rental options outside baggage claim. There's also extensive and inexpensive public transportation, most notably the tourist-friendly Coast Regional Transportation bus service. In addition to its regular routes (look for designated bus stop signs throughout town), its airport shuttle picks up from the airport's Ivory Wilson Transfer Station and stops at several hotels along North and South Ocean Boulevard. And a weeklong unlimited bus pass costs less than just a couple of short cab rides!
