Spirit Airlines is a prime provider of direct flights to Myrtle Beach.
So much in fact the economically feasible airline recently announced two new, non-stop flights from the Myrtle Beach International Airport.
Starting April 25, Spirit Airlines will offer non-stop flights to both Baltimore and Philadelphia.
From April 25 to November 5, flights will leave Baltimore at 10:45 a.m. daily and arrive in Myrtle Beach at 12:10 p.m. They'll leave Myrtle Beach at 5:20 p.m. and arrive at 6:40 p.m.
Daily fights from Philadelphia will leave at 7:20 a.m. and arrive in Myrtle Beach at 9 a.m.
They'll leave Myrtle Beach at 9:50 a.m. and arrive in Philadelphia at 11:25 a.m.
The further expansion of the airline’s network of destinations is a win-win for both Myrtle Beach locals and current and prospective visitors.
The addition of non-stop air service to both the Philadelphia and Baltimore-Washington areas while significantly increasing seat capacity to its existing markets should be well received by the traveling public,” said Michael La Pier, Horry County Director of Airports.
“We're excited to even further expand our network of destinations to and from Myrtle Beach. Spirit carries more visitors to Myrtle Beach than any other airline, operating exclusively with large Airbus A319 and A320 jets with 145 – 178 seats each,” said Mark Kopczak, Spirit's Senior Director of Network Planning. “We're looking forward to giving even more customers the opportunity to save money on travel. Our ultra low fares and optional add-ons provide customers a total price that's tough to beat.”
