Myrtle Beach International Airport – MYR

The new airport is so much nicer than the old one. It’s very easy to park, parking is close by the front as well. Inside is very nice and has a nice mix of places to eat from casual like Steak & Shake to sit-​down like Nacho Hippo, a local Tex-​Mex place. TSA runs about as well as TSA will run anywhere, that is senseless, unorganized and confused. Concourses are compact so getting around is easy, there are ample seating places even if the entitlement class and their 42 wards of the State have to come sit right beside you and expect you to move over for them.

Even though the gate walkway was broken for flight 6243 and I had to carry my 11 month old along with a double stroller and a slow 5 year old up 2 flights of stairs (thank you lady for helping)…funny I was still happy, the airports atmosphere is peaceful and made you feel like. hanging out. Just chilling was the feeling. How small… I mean I showed up 2 hours as recommended.. checked my luggage, printed my ticket, to securty, up the elevator to B2.7 minutes. .Lol right I know. but I’m serious that is how efficient this airport ran. I thank you for just being happy TSA’s. Gate lady was nice and the breakfast was very good. I will be back. O… family bathrooms were super clean I appreciate that!

Easy, small, quick airport! I was running late but made it in time! Overall great airport!

Traveled to and fro, Toledo and back. Most efficient! 1^st impression: unexpected golf cart ride from long term parking to terminal drop-​off. Wonderful host, «with a little old driver so lively and quick» of cart, both ways!!! TSA ran smooth and efficient as well! Ladies room was tidy too!

Ate at Nacho Hippo. The guacamole was great and had a little heat to it. Also had the lime-​chicken quesadilla. Very flavorful, especially the sauce that came with it. Girlfriend had two tacos, one pulled pork and blackened fish. She loved it. We’re stopping here again the next time we pass through. Service was very good. Highly recommended. Not to be confused with a fast food joint.
Airport is easy to maneuver around. Many charging stations that actually work! A lot of car rentals to choose from.
Spirit airlines suck. Habitually late. Not airport’s problem though.

Quiet airport compared to EWR or PHL. Limited food selection but lots of places to charge up & free wifi.

I arrived to Myrtle Beach International Airport @ 7:10 to print out boarding passes for our flight on Spirit Airline, the flight was leaving at 7:56am — PLENTY OF TIME to print the tickets, check in and out bag — by the time we got to the lady we were 10 mins late and they denied is to board the plane. We explained what happened and they didn’t care. I told them that bigger airline accommodate people and Spirit Airlines was not even willing to work with us when it wasn’t even 7:20 by the time this all happened. Next flight is tomorrow but we have no where to stay AND I have a 2 year old with us. Flat out the (for whatever reason) manager told me «That’s not my problem!» I said «That’s Bullshit… Of course you don’t care!» she then said to me that she was going to refuse us to board at all — even tomorrow! I said «Did you just threaten me?!» She said «You cursed and I’m not dealing with it.» she picks up the phone to call the cops on me — I walked away (for obvious reasons — I have my 2 year old daughter and didn’t want to get arrested) so by the time the cops came I wasn’t even by that airline. NEVER AGAIN WILL I FLY THAT AIRLINE! Complete disregard for people and they have NO HEARTS! Soulless people!!!

If all airports were like Myrtle Beach, life would be good.
This airport is relatively small, so navigating is pretty easy.
There are little golf cart «shuttles» that will drive you from your parking spot to the front door– a nice feature if you’re parked in the back of long-​term parking.
Getting through security has always been quick and painless. These guys are efficient.
This must be a newer airport because it is very well kept, and there are outlets aplenty.
Food options were really minimal. I’ve eaten at the Subway– it’s nothing special, just your average Subway.
Keep up the good work, MYR!

Great airport, easy access!
Security isn’t too busy. Kept up well, Spirit stinks but there are other airlines to take!
Plenty of direct flights to major hubs!

It’s clean, easy to navigate, and Spirit Airlines runs out of this airport. I travel 3= hours at times when I have Ellis airport 15 minutes away just to hop a Spirit airlines flight out of this airport.

Love the airport… hate spirit airlines… leaving 1 star review so airport authority can tell Spirit to get their act together … lol…

Best cutest airport ever !!
Very clean and nice !!
Way better appearance then myrtle beach lol

Myrtle Beach Airport (MYR)
A very nice little airport that has two terminals, A & B and an approximate total of twelve gates.
I would surmise that a lot of the flights are on a seasonal schedule with some of the airlines.
They seem more up to date than other airports I have been in. There are tons of charging areas for your cell phones/​computers at each gate. So grab a bite to eat, sit down, plug in and enjoy.
Walking through the concourse you will find large canvases depicting all things Myrtle Beach. There are also colorful Adirondack chairs placed in seating areas.
There are two places to eat before security and a couple others after. It is definitely not a hub airport. TSA was a breeze, no line and efficient staff.
Enjoy your flight!

For a small airport, its pretty nice. The only problem is security could probably be a little bit better. Prior to boarding, I accidentally switched my ticket with my boyfriends. He got through security with flying colors… with my name… A little scary.
The food at the airport is surprisingly good. Last time I ate at the mexican cantina– delicious!

Clean, quiet and there’s a Steak and Shake counter which my kids were excited about! :)

It’s a nice small airport. The people coming to pick you up cannot wait outside, they’re required to park in the designated parking which kind of sucks but people are friendly and it’s a cute, modern, mini airport.

A nice modernized, smooth looking airport, very low stress… low cost bare fares (one carry on bag) with Spirit Airlines. My son was able to travel non-​stop roundtrip from Latrobe, PA for less than it would cost to fly one way with stops from Charleston, SC
and in less time. Definitely worth the drive up from Charleston to fly here. Wish I had known about this airport before as I would have been able to travel and visit family more often. I’m afraid of flying alone, having to switch planes/​airports or deal with layovers… I think I could handle this airport.
Parking is flat $ 7 a day, there is a nice open café near the front entrance, free wifi.
Everything is well-​marked and easy to find inside and outside… son said security line is quick.

I’ve been in a number of regional airports in my time travelling, and MYR offers a clean experience that is often not available in other smaller sized airports.
Yes, it does help that Myrtle Beach is a tourist destination, so money has been spent to ensure travelers have a smooth visit. There are multiple airliners serving the airport as well, that will get you as far as Detroit or as close as Charlotte (why you would go to either is a mystery). Security is a breeze, but be careful as you will be encountering a lot of inexperienced travelers trying to determine if there shoes and belt should come off.
My only complaint? The rental car return is all the way through the departure /​arrival area. So if it is busy (and I’m not sure it ever is) you have to navigate people and cars to return the car even though it would be much easier to enter directly from the airport entrance. Like I said, small complaint.

As far as airports go, this place is just fine. The TSA agents were super gentle, and helped us get our two year old son and his stroller through. We were actually all able to go through the traditional metal detector, rather than the body scanners, whereas one of us usually has to walk our son through, while the other gets held up with the body scanner. Going through as one bunch makes it much easier to keep the kid with you, while at the same time, juggling your carry ons, shoes, laptop, belt, etc.
This airport definitely lacks food options, though. There’s a Subway and a Nacho Hippo, which I’ve already reviewed. Subway is Subway, and Nacho Hippo was pretty terrible.

These folks are close to making it into my «Baby Airport Hall of Fame.»
* Navigation is a snap. You can throw a stick and hit everything prior to security. One more stick and you can hit everything after security. Oh boy, it’s a two stick airport!
* There is one tiny restaurant/​bar before security. It’s run by very nice people but it’s extremely limited in both food and adult libations. PRO TIP– Walk on by.
* The ticketing kiosks are multi-​airline and that’s amazing. So much easier than looking for the appropriate airline box.
* The rental cars are in a separate building across the street. No big deal until its pouring rain as it was for me. Then it’s just plain UGLY!
* Once you get through security the place to be is Nacho Hippo. You won’t have any trouble finding it because that’s where everybody is. There are also other places but the Hippo is where it’s at!
* Power outlets are numerous which makes me a happy camper.
* Free Wi-​Fi.
So it’s not perfect but they earn 4 stars from me.
