What the Data Says About MYR to DCA

The Myrtle Beach to Washington corridor (MYR → DCA) covers roughly 372 miles and is served by 11 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 2,290 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 75.9% on-time rate with an average delay of 88.7 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,325 flights were recorded on this pairing — 52 cancelled (3.9%) and 3 diverted (0.2%). 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 2,290 total flights analyzed, the 75.9% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 88.7-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, Jun 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 83% on-time, while Oct 2025 came in at 51% on-time — a 32-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the MYR to DCA route, the combination of a 75.9% on-time rate, 88.7-minute average delay, 3.9% recent cancellation rate, and 11 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
