Spirit Airlines now flying between Myrtle Beach and this northeast city. Here’s where
Myrtle Beach’s airport is getting more new flights — again.
Spirit Airlines is now flying between Myrtle Beach and Manchester, New Hampshire, connecting the Grand Strand to a brand new destination.
Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) is located less than 50 miles from Boston and with an hour’s drive of “popular ski areas, scenic seacoast beaches and peaceful lakefront resorts,” Myrtle Beach International Airport said in an announcement Wednesday.
“There is fun for everyone and a chance to discover a beautiful part of our country,” Manchester airport director Ted Kitchens said in a statement.
Myrtle Beach International (MYR) has been adding new flights seemingly nonstop since spring 2021, as vacation travel rebounded with astonishing speed once coronavirus vaccines became widely available.
“It’s an exciting time to add service in Manchester as Guests are looking for great leisure destinations to explore, like the beaches and golf courses of South Carolina, or the granite peaks and arts and culture of New Hampshire,” John Kirby, vice president of network planning at Spirit Airlines, said in a statement.
In February, Spirit announced new flights to four other cities. Here are their start dates.
- Louisville, KY (SDF): May 26, 2022
- Milwaukee, WI (MKE): May 27, 2022
- Rochester, NY (ROC): June 24, 2022
- St. Louis, MO (STL): May 26, 2022
Spirit is the largest air carrier in Myrtle Beach, transporting nearly 45% of all the passengers who go through MYR.
The Manchester flights will run on a seasonal basis during the spring and summer.
