Myrtle Beach to Charlotte

What the Data Says About MYR to CLT

The Myrtle Beach to Charlotte corridor (MYR → CLT) covers roughly 157 miles and is served by 11 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 14,467 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 85.3% on-time rate with an average delay of 87.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 5,053 flights were recorded on this pairing — 102 cancelled (2.0%) and 4 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 14,467 total flights analyzed, the 85.3% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 87.5-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, Jan 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 93% on-time, while Jun 2025 came in at 69% on-time — a 24-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the MYR to CLT route, the combination of a 85.3% on-time rate, 87.5-minute average delay, 2.0% recent cancellation rate, and 11 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
