The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Nonstop on G4, $334 per person below the typical fare
- Sea view double at Ocean Annie's Resorts, 7.7 from 2,064 reviews
- Highs from 87°F Friday to 66°F Sunday, rain chance 6% or less
The catch: The nonstop leaves from SWF, not JFK, EWR or LGA; a checked bag is about $200 for two and isn't in the total, and no hotel offers free cancellation.
Worth it if you can get to SWF on a Friday evening and want a mild beach weekend; skip it if JFK is your only option.
Worth it if flying from SWF works for you: the trip is $891 for two, which is the flights at $704 plus two nights at Ocean Annie's Resorts at $187, taxes and fees included. It runs Oct 16–18, 2026, 2 nights, on a G4 nonstop that leaves Friday at 6:55 PM and gets you home Sunday at 4:58 PM. A checked bag, resort fees and spending money aren't in that total.

Why now
At $352 per person, the fare is $334 below the typical fare on this route. That's 49% under, and it's the lowest fare we've seen in 30 days. Across 12 offers, the fares we saw ran from $352 to $716, and the next option we found was $531 per person with a stop. Mid-October falls after the August and September hurricane peak and after the hot, crowded July and August season. The forecast has Friday at 87°F and partly cloudy, Saturday at 74°F and overcast and Sunday at 66°F, with rain chances of 5% to 6%. So you get beach weather when you land, then cooler days for the gardens and the marsh. Prices were all-in when we checked and can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a short, easy beach weekend for two: you arrive Friday evening, get a full Saturday and fly home Sunday afternoon. Myrtle Beach is the Grand Strand, sixty miles of Atlantic sand lined with resorts, golf courses and boardwalk fun. It suits couples or friends who want sand, a round of golf or a paddle through the marsh, and dinner without a plan. The pace is slow, and the nightlife is there if you want it.

Where to stay in Myrtle Beach
Ocean Annie's Resorts is the best value and the hotel counted in the $891. It's $187 for both nights ($94 a night) for a Double Room with Sea View, rated 7.7 from 2,064 reviews. Sea Crest Oceanfront Resort is the budget-minded alternative at $227 for the stay ($114 a night) for a Lowrise Room with 2 Double Beds. It's rated 8.1, and its 7,248 reviews are the most of the three.

Questions readers ask
Is it worth it?
Worth it if SWF is an easy trip for you. The fare is $352 per person, which is $334 below the typical fare on this route. The flight is nonstop, and the forecast shows rain chances of 6% or less all weekend.
How much is the whole trip for two?
$891 all in: $704 for two round-trip fares plus $187 for two nights at Ocean Annie's Resorts. With $360 for spending money, the weekend comes to $1,251. Checked bags, about $200 for two, and any resort fees are extra.
Which airport does the flight leave from?
SWF, not JFK, EWR or LGA. The G4 nonstop leaves Friday, Oct 16 at 6:55 PM and lands at MYR at 8:57 PM. The return leaves Sunday, Oct 18 at 3:03 PM and lands at 4:58 PM.

Friday has a high of 87°F and partly cloudy skies. Saturday is 74°F and overcast. Sunday is 66°F and overcast, with a low of 46°F. Rain chances are 5% to 6% all three days, so pack a layer for the evenings.

For a quick reset, yes. You land at 8:57 PM Friday and fly out at 3:03 PM Sunday, which leaves a full Saturday for golf or kayaking at Murrells Inlet, plus a Sunday morning beach walk.

No. Myrtle Beach is in South Carolina, you'll pay in US dollars and there's no time difference from New York.
