Starting this summer New Yorkers will have more weekend travel options down to South Carolina.

According to an American Airlines spokesperson, the company will begin to offer weekend direct flights from New York’s LaGuardia Airport to Myrtle Beach and Charleston.

The routes will be flown on an Embraer E175, the spokesperson confirmed.

“American offers customers more convenient schedules and itineraries when traveling across our global network with more flights from MYR and CHS than any other airline,” a statement from the company said.

During the winter months, American does not currently offer direct service from Myrtle Beach International Airport to LaGuardia, local flight data shows. Instead, American offers multiple direct flights to their local hub, Charlotte Douglass International Airport, in North Carolina.
