The verdict
Our verdict
Not worth it this week
- Highs 73–74°F with a 2–6% chance of rain
- Westgate Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Resort scores 8.6 from 688 reviews
- Free cancellation at the Westgate, $97 a night
The catch: The outbound has one stop and takes 43h 32m, landing Saturday at 9:13 AM, so you spend the first hotel night in transit.
Worth it if you can find a shorter connection or add days; skip it if this weekend is all the time you have.
Not worth it this week: the price is fair, but the routing eats the weekend. The total for two is $1,349: flights at $1,133, the Westgate at $194 and its $22 resort fee, with taxes and fees included, for Oct 23–25, 2026 (2 nights). The flights are on G4 + MX with one stop, not nonstop, and the outbound takes 43h 32m.

Why now
At $567 per person, the fare matches the median of the 14 earlier checks we ran on this route, so it's neither high nor low. The lowest we saw in the last 30 days was $505. The weather looks good: highs of 73–74°F, lows in the mid-50s and a 2–6% chance of rain, and Saturday, Oct 24 is forecast clear. The schedule is the problem. You leave Grand Rapids at 7:30 AM on Friday, Oct 23 and get to Myrtle Beach at 9:13 AM Saturday. The flight home leaves at 8:10 PM Sunday and lands at 1:59 PM Monday. That gives you about a day and a half on the sand for $1,349. The other fares we found still take more than 32 hours to get there. Look again for a longer stay.
The kind of trip this is
This is an easy beach weekend on the Grand Strand, sixty miles of Atlantic sand with resorts, golf, mini-golf and family entertainment. It's a good fit for a couple or friends who want oceanfront rooms, boardwalk evenings and a round of golf at a slow pace. In late October the summer crowds are gone and the air is mild enough for long walks on the beach.

Westgate Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Resort is our best-value pick at $194 for the stay ($97 a night) in a Double Amusement Park View Guestroom.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Not this week. The $567 fare is in line with what we've seen on this route, but the outbound takes 43h 32m and lands Saturday morning, so a 2-night trip turns into about a day and a half at the beach.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$1,349 for two, all in. That's $1,133 in flights plus $194 at Westgate Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Resort and its $22 resort fee, with taxes and fees included. Checked bags (about $200 for two) and spending money are extra.
Is there a faster flight?
Not much faster. The F9 + MX option takes 32h 20m and costs $1,276 for two. A later G4 + MX departure takes 32h 34m for $1,146 for two. Both have one stop.
What is the weather like?
Mild and mostly dry. Highs are 73–74°F, lows 54–57°F, and the rain chance is 2–6%. Friday looks overcast, Saturday clear and Sunday partly cloudy.
Do I need a passport?
No. It's a domestic trip, you pay in US dollars and the clocks are the same as in Grand Rapids.
Is 2 nights enough?
It would be with a quicker flight. With this schedule you'd land at 9:13 AM Saturday and leave at 8:10 PM Sunday, which doesn't leave much beach time for the money.
