The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, because
- 1h 39m nonstop from DCA, leaving Friday at 5:51 PM
- $494 per person, $91 below the typical fare on this route
- Highs of 75–85°F with rain chances of 17% or less
The catch: Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money are not in the $1,212, and the Sea Crest rate can't be canceled for free.
Worth it if you want two warm beach days, the boardwalk and some golf after a short nonstop; skip it if two nights feels too rushed.
Worth it for the two of you: the whole weekend is $1,212 for two, the flights at $988 plus 2 nights at Sea Crest Oceanfront Resort at $224, taxes and fees included. Resort fees, a checked bag and spending money are not in that total. You leave Friday, Oct 23 and come back Sunday, Oct 25, 2026, on a 1h 39m American nonstop from DCA, operated by Envoy Air as American Eagle.

Why now
At $494 per person, this fare is $91 below the typical fare on this route, 16% less, and it's the lowest we've seen in 30 days. Across 12 offers we checked, fares ran from $494 to $697. The flight is a 1h 39m nonstop that leaves DCA at 5:51 PM on Friday and lands in Myrtle Beach at 7:30 PM, so you get both weekend days on the sand. These dates fall after the August and September hurricane peak and after the hot, crowded stretch of July and August. The forecast shows highs of 75–85°F with little rain expected, and the highest rain chance is 17%, on Saturday. Prices are all-in as we found them when we checked, and they can change before you book.
The kind of trip this is
This is a classic beach weekend: sand, the boardwalk, a round of golf and easy dinners out. It suits a couple or two friends who want warm weather without a long travel day. The pace is up to you, from a slow morning walk at the state park to a ride on the SkyWheel and a night of shows and shopping.
