What the Data Says About ACY to MYR

The Atlantic City to Myrtle Beach corridor (ACY → MYR) covers roughly 466 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 1,310 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 86.2% on-time rate with an average delay of 73.1 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 889 flights were recorded on this pairing — 9 cancelled (1.0%) and 6 diverted (0.7%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 1 carrier on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 1,310 total flights analyzed, the 86.2% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 73.1-minute average delay applies only to flights that actually ran late, so it is not the average wait across all departures — the majority of flights on this route depart on time under the BTS definition of a delay (15+ minutes past schedule).

Looking at recent months, Sep 2022 posted the best performance on this corridor at 93% on-time, while Oct 2022 came in at 89% on-time — a 5-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the ACY to MYR route, the combination of a 86.2% on-time rate, 73.1-minute average delay, 1.0% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
