Myrtle Beach International Airport

Myrtle Beach, United States · North America

A compact Grand Strand field that put 3.53 million passengers through one TSA and no lounge in 2025: easy once you are past the summer changeover line, and the live airline list no longer includes Spirit.

MYRGuide

Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Trust the 2-hour official clock on changeover days

Official security wants 2 hours domestic / 3 hours international; the homepage snapshot often prints 25–35 minutes in the general lane.

Checkpoint opens 04:00 and follows the last departing check-in. Summer Friday/Sunday banks and spring-break Saturdays are when the general line actually hits that 25–35 band. PreCheck on the same checkpoint is the <10-minute snapshot.

Layout

One TSA, then A and B on the same sterile walk

Ticketing and TSA sit upstairs next to each other; after screening you walk Concourse A or B without reclearing.

Bags, rentals, Quiet Room, and Door 6 taxis are downstairs. Dec 2025 added six Concourse A gates ($93.5M / 50,000 sq ft). AirNav still lists pushback PPR at A9–A12 and A14.

Food

Eat airside — the live card is Concourse A and B

Trust flymyrtlebeach.com/information/dining-shopping/: Nacho Hippo, Chick-fil-A, Steak 'n Shake, Subway, Salt & Tide, Pizza Hyena, Starbucks between A and B, Pavilion Bar & Grill on B.

FAQ still names Boardwalk Cafe (landside), Caribou, and GrabnGo — leftover vs the live dining cards. Official pages do not print standing outlet hours. Alcohol sales 10:00–02:00 Mon–Sat / noon–02:00 Sunday, consume where purchased.

Status

Spirit is gone; Contour is the new small card

The live ten-airline list does not include Spirit. Official 2026 tables show Spirit at 0 after May; Contour appears in June–July.

Do not book from a 2024 “eleven airlines including Porter and Spirit” footer. Confirm Contour Beckley / Altoona / Parkersburg and Sun Country MSP on the FIDS — both are thin seasonal cards.

Live conditions

Right now at MYR

Security waits and operational status from official feeds, where the airport publishes them.

Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Timing

Trust the 2-hour official clock on changeover days

Official security wants 2 hours domestic / 3 hours international; the homepage snapshot often prints 25–35 minutes in the general lane.

Layout

One TSA, then A and B on the same sterile walk

Ticketing and TSA sit upstairs next to each other; after screening you walk Concourse A or B without reclearing.

Bags, rentals, Quiet Room, and Door 6 taxis are downstairs. Dec 2025 added six Concourse A gates ($93.5M / 50,000 sq ft). AirNav still lists pushback PPR at A9–A12 and A14.

Food

Eat airside — the live card is Concourse A and B

Trust flymyrtlebeach.com/information/dining-shopping/: Nacho Hippo, Chick-fil-A, Steak 'n Shake, Subway, Salt & Tide, Pizza Hyena, Starbucks between A and B, Pavilion Bar & Grill on B.

Status

Spirit is gone; Contour is the new small card

The live ten-airline list does not include Spirit. Official 2026 tables show Spirit at 0 after May; Contour appears in June–July.

Do not book from a 2024 “eleven airlines including Porter and Spirit” footer. Confirm Contour Beckley / Altoona / Parkersburg and Sun Country MSP on the FIDS — both are thin seasonal cards.
