It came after Columbia, the capital, and Greenville/Spartanburg, both first served 20 years ago. All flights to Columbia have now ended. Myrtle Beach is renowned for being a family-friendly beach destination. It has tens of miles of white sand, along with being the so-called golf capital of the world. It is not a surprise that it had held much appeal for Allegiant for so long, at least until now, just as it is increasingly doing for Breeze. Allegiant Has Ended 13 Myrtle Beach Routes Comparing the airline's schedule in 2026 with what is planned for 2027 shows that all of these routes are no longer scheduled. They were cross-referenced with what is listed on Allegiant's website, and all the routes were removed. The 13 markets are in nine states. While only two of the removed destinations are now served by another carrier, all nine states will still have flights, whether by Allegiant or a different operator. End Month In 2026 Only Route To Myrtle Beach When First Served? Any Flights With Other Airlines In 2027? August Atlantic City, New Jersey 2026 only Yes: Breeze August Belleville, Illinois 2017 No August Clarksburg, West Virginia 2015 No August Dayton, Ohio 2017-2018. Returned in 2026 No August Fort Wayne, Indiana 2010 No August Grand Rapids, Michigan 2011-2011. Returned in 2025 No August Huntington, West Virginia 2009 No August Lexington, Kentucky 2014 No August Indianapolis, Indiana 2015 Yes: Southwest August Louisville, Kentucky 2018 No August Niagara Falls, New York 2025 No October Elmira, New York 2026 only No November Hagerstown, Maryland 2019 No US Department of Transportation data shows that Allegiant flew between Myrtle Beach and Atlantic City between March and August 2026. It had inherited the route from the now-defunct Spirit Airlines, which had served it for 29 years until early 2026. Allegiant transported 11,453 passengers and filled 80.5% of seats. While fare information is unavailable, the extremely short period shows that the route performed very poorly. Despite this, Breeze is keen, as flights started in October. Allegiant Now Has Nine Routes From Myrtle Beach Credit: Angel DiBilio | Shutterstock The cuts outlined above are only one part of Allegiant's story at Myrtle Beach. The ultra-low-cost carrier's booking engine currently extends to mid-May 2027. Between January and then, the airline plans to fly to nine places from Myrtle Beach: Akron/Canton, Albany, Allentown, Cincinnati, Columbus Rickenbacker, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, Stewart, and Syracuse. 217 departures will be available on those nine routes through May 2027, down by 31% compared to January to May 2026. Seven of the markets will have fewer flights than they did, none more so than Akron/Canton, which Allegiant partly serves because Cleveland is only around an hour away. Departures in the first five months are down from 26 to just eight. In 2026, Allegiant served the market from March. Now it'll do so from May. All Nine Affected States Will Still Have Myrtle Beach Flights Most of the nine states will, of course, have flights to other places, rather than those dropped by Allegiant. Myrtle Beach will have flights to Illinois with American (Chicago O'Hare), Southwest (Chicago Midway), and United (O'Hare), while Indiana will be served by Southwest (Indianapolis). Then there's Kentucky, with Allegiant flying to Cincinnati (the airport is in Kentucky, but the city is in Ohio), Maryland is linked with Southwest (Baltimore), Michigan's in the hands of Delta (Detroit), and New Jersey's served by Breeze (Atlantic City) and United (Newark). New York has many routes from Allegiant (Albany, Stewart, Syracuse), American (LaGuardia), Breeze (Albany, Buffalo, Islip, Rochester, Stewart, Syracuse, Westchester), and Delta (LaGuardia). Ohio is served by Allegiant (Akron/Canton and Columbus Rickenbacker), Breeze (Akron/Canton and Columbus John Glenn), and Southwest (Columbus John Glenn). Finally, West Virginia will have flights by Breeze (Charleston) and Contour (Beckley and Parkersburg).
