Our verdict
Worth it, if

- Highs 78–80°F with an 11% to 16% rain chance

Why now
At $487 per person, the fare is $99 below the typical fare on this route, which our earlier checks put at $586. Across the 12 offers we saw, fares ran from $487 to $574, so this one sits at the low end. Late October comes after the hot, crowded July and August peak and after the hurricane peak in August and September. The forecast shows highs of 78–80°F and an 11% to 16% rain chance, with drizzle listed for Saturday. The hotel is just as easy: $112 a night for an oceanfront efficiency with a kitchen. What holds it back is the routing, which takes up Friday and part of Monday. If you can work around that, it's a warm beach weekend for the two of you at $1,197 all in, before resort fees and bags. Prices are what we found when we checked, and they can change.
The kind of trip this is
This is an easygoing beach weekend: the boardwalk, the SkyWheel, a round of golf and long walks on the sand. It suits a couple or two friends who want warm October weather without much planning and can live with a short stretch on the ground. The pace is slow unless you change it, and Broadway at the Beach has shows and shopping if you want a night out.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Worth it if you can take Monday off. The fare is $99 per person below the typical fare on this route and the forecast is warm. But with one stop, you land Saturday at 9:13 AM and get home Monday at 3:30 PM.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$1,197 all in: $973 for two round-trip fares ($487 per person) plus $224 for 2 nights at Sea Crest Oceanfront Resort, taxes and fees included. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money aren't in that total.
What are the flight times?
You leave ORD Friday, Oct 23 at 8:04 AM and land at MYR Saturday, Oct 24 at 9:13 AM. The return leaves Sunday, Oct 25 at 8:10 PM and lands Monday, Oct 26 at 3:30 PM. Both use F9 + MX with one stop.
What is the weather like?
The forecast shows highs of 78–80°F and lows of 65–68°F. Rain chances run 11% to 16%, with drizzle listed for Saturday and mostly clear skies Friday and Sunday.
Is 2 nights enough?
Because of the flight times, you're on the ground from Saturday morning to Sunday evening, so the Friday night is paid for but not used. That still leaves time for the beach and the boardwalk, but not much more.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic trip, you pay in US dollars and Myrtle Beach is just 1 hour ahead of Chicago.
