Charlotte to Myrtle Beach

What the Data Says About CLT to MYR

The Charlotte to Myrtle Beach corridor (CLT → MYR) covers roughly 157 miles and is served by 11 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 14,469 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 81.2% on-time rate with an average delay of 70.0 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 5,053 flights were recorded on this pairing — 91 cancelled (1.8%) and 7 diverted (0.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 11 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 14,469 total flights analyzed, the 81.2% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 70.0-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, Feb 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 87% on-time, while Jun 2025 came in at 65% on-time — a 22-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the CLT to MYR route, the combination of a 81.2% on-time rate, 70.0-minute average delay, 1.8% recent cancellation rate, and 11 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
