Southwest Airlines has introduced 31 new routes added to its sprawling leisure network, including new service at Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) beginning May 23, 2021; additional service in the Heart of Texas through Austin; and new time-saving nonstop travel itineraries between popular destinations on the growing Southwest Airlines map.
Service from Myrtle Beach
Beginning Sunday, May 23, 2021, Southwest will add service to a third airport in South Carolina, giving Southwest Customers across the country access to Myrtle Beach through five nonstop cities offered within the first week of service: Baltimore/Washington (BWI), Chicago (Midway), and Nashville; and additional nonstop service from Dallas (Love Field) and Pittsburgh will operate on Saturdays beginning May 29.
A third wave of service to this stretch of the South Carolina coast will bring options to fly with Southwest nonstop from Atlanta, Columbus, and Indianapolis beginning June 6, 2021. Customers should check Southwest.com for specific itineraries on their desired day of travel, as some nonstop service does not operate every day of the week.

In celebration of the arrival of Southwest Airlines in Myrtle Beach, bringing everyday low fares, flexibility, and ‘golf bags fly free®’* to make it easier for Customers to travel with their favorite gear, Southwest is offering one-way fares to Myrtle Beach from some of the new nonstop cities as low as $69 one-way.
