Myrtle Beach from Albany, Oct 23–25: $1,199 for two, all in
The verdict
Our verdict
Worth it, if
- Fare of $475 per person, right at this route's typical price
- Highs of 72–75°F with only a 4–6% rain chance
- Sea Crest Oceanfront Resort: 8.1 from 7,242 reviews, $112 a night
The catch: It's one stop on G4, and the flight home leaves Sunday at 6:25 PM and lands Monday at 10:34 AM; a checked bag is about $200 for two.
Worth it if you want a mild beach weekend and can take Monday morning off; skip it if you need to be at work Monday.
Worth it if you can live with a stop and a Monday-morning landing: $1,199 for two covers the flights at $949 plus 2 nights at Sea Crest Oceanfront Resort at $224, taxes and fees included. It's Oct 23–25, 2026, 2 nights, on G4 with one stop, not a nonstop.

Why now
$475 per person is right at the typical fare on this route: the median of 12 earlier checks is also $475, so you're not overpaying, though one check went as low as $383. The forecast is the bigger draw: highs of 74°F, 75°F and 72°F, lows of 54°F and a 4% to 6% rain chance, overcast Friday, then clear Saturday and Sunday. Late October falls outside the hot, crowded peak of July and August and the hurricane peak of August and September. For $1,199 for two you get the flights plus 2 nights at Sea Crest Oceanfront Resort, taxes, fees and its $26 resort fee included. Bags and spending money are extra. It's a short beach reset for two: sand, a SkyWheel ride and a long dinner by the water.
The kind of trip this is
A relaxed beach weekend on the Grand Strand: ocean-view rooms, boardwalk walks, a round of golf or a kayak through the marsh, then dinner and a show. It suits a couple or a pair of friends who want sun without summer heat and crowds. The pace is easy, with two full days that you can fill as much or as little as you like.
