Nashville to Myrtle Beach

What the Data Says About BNA to MYR

The Nashville to Myrtle Beach corridor (BNA → MYR) covers roughly 471 miles and is served by 3 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 3,033 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 80.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 55.0 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,209 flights were recorded on this pairing — 5 cancelled (0.4%) and 2 diverted (0.2%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 3 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 3,033 total flights analyzed, the 80.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 55.0-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 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 94% on-time, while Jun 2025 came in at 68% on-time — a 27-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the BNA to MYR route, the combination of a 80.8% on-time rate, 55.0-minute average delay, 0.4% recent cancellation rate, and 3 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
