Baltimore to Myrtle Beach

What the Data Says About BWI to MYR

The Baltimore to Myrtle Beach corridor (BWI → MYR) covers roughly 399 miles and is served by 4 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 5,502 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 75% on-time rate with an average delay of 60.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,225 flights were recorded on this pairing — 15 cancelled (0.7%) and 4 diverted (0.2%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 4 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 5,502 total flights analyzed, the 75% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 60.5-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, Nov 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 91% on-time, while Jul 2024 came in at 55% on-time — a 36-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the BWI to MYR route, the combination of a 75% on-time rate, 60.5-minute average delay, 0.7% recent cancellation rate, and 4 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
