Atlanta to Myrtle Beach

What the Data Says About ATL to MYR

The Atlanta to Myrtle Beach corridor (ATL → MYR) covers roughly 317 miles and is served by 9 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 8,841 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 86% on-time rate with an average delay of 64.9 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,870 flights were recorded on this pairing — 24 cancelled (0.8%) and 6 diverted (0.2%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 9 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 8,841 total flights analyzed, the 86% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 64.9-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, Feb 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 97% on-time, while Jul 2025 came in at 61% on-time — a 36-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the ATL to MYR route, the combination of a 86% on-time rate, 64.9-minute average delay, 0.8% recent cancellation rate, and 9 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
