Myrtle Beach International continues to rank among the South’s fastest-growing airports, a status boosted by the launch of its newest nonstop connection.

Breeze Airways, the low-cost carrier, will begin offering twice-weekly nonstop flights between Myrtle Beach and New Orleans starting September 25. The service will operate on Thursdays and Sundays, with flights leaving New Orleans at 7 a.m. and touching down in Myrtle Beach at 10:05 a.m. Return service departs the Grand Strand at 3:59 p.m., arriving in New Orleans at 5:14 p.m.

Introductory fares begin at just $59 each way.

For golfers, the schedule couldn’t be better — arrival and departure times leave plenty of room to fit in a round on travel days.
