Americans Can Save Almost $350 On Flights To This Nostalgic Beach Destination For Cyber Monday
With Cyber Monday here, it’s the time to find the best travel deals on the market. While debates rage about which date is better—Black Friday and Travel Tuesday—Cyber Monday sits in the middle, potentially giving the best of both worlds for bargain hunters seeking discounted flights. Although Americans can score big savings on international routes, especially when it comes to Cyber Monday flights to the world’s top trending city, some enticing offers are a little closer to home.
Based on Kayak data from last Cyber Monday, one particularly nostalgic American beach destination (one that’s long been a beloved seaside spot for decades) is usually heavily discounted by airlines operating all around the country. For travelers dreaming of a nostalgic trip to the Atlantic Coast, Cyber Monday’s discounted flights to Myrtle Beach are in reach.
Myrtle Beach Flights Dropped 18% Year-On-Year Last Cyber Monday—And The Same Could Be The Case Again
Known for its soft sandy beaches along the 60-mile stretch of the Grand Strand filled with restaurants, food stands, and nostalgic beachside entertainment, Myrtle Beach in South Carolina has long been one of the most popular beach spots for a domestic vacation in the U.S.
Now, flight price data from Kayak shows that domestic flight prices to Myrtle Beach previously dropped by 19% year-on-year on Cyber Monday, and this trend could continue again this year.
What do such savings look like in terms of dollars? Well, that year-on-year price drop saves travelers on average just shy of $350 (around $342 per person). Further savings soon add up when combined with hotel deals.
As one of the United States’ most popular domestic beach staycation destinations, Myrtle Beach isn’t always the cheapest place to fly to, so Cyber Monday (and into Travel Tuesday the following day) could be the ultimate time to book for travelers on a budget hoping to score some deals.
Which Airlines Offer Domestic Flights To Myrtle Beach?
Most of the domestic U.S. airlines have at least one route running direct to Myrtle Beach, as it’s a major vacation spot (and a classic spring break destination as well).
Here are the domestic carriers that offer direct routes to Myrtle Beach:
- American Airlines
- Delta Air Lines
- United Airlines
- Allegiant
- Spirit
- Frontier
- Southwest
- Sun Country Airlines
- Breeze Airways
There’s a wide range of U.S. airline choices for Myrtle Beach flights. Naturally, travelers heading from a major city or international airport will have more options than those flying from an airline’s specific hub or a more rural location.
Check in advance to see which airlines have routes from your desired airport. Sign up for email alerts and newsletter deals for specific airlines. This is usually the first place airlines announce deals.
Lastly, one final question remains for travelers still on the edge of planning a trip: is Cyber Monday really worth the money when booking domestic flights? Kayak provided some clarity on this—and there are a few tips that can help vacationers triple check that they are indeed getting a deal (and not being cleverly ripped off).
Is Cyber Monday Actually A Good Day For Booking Domestic Flights?
A major question is whether Cyber Monday is truly a great time for bargain hunting. After all, the window for Black Friday deals is coming to an end, but Travel Tuesday hasn’t kicked off yet. Not to mention, some brands put out all their red flags by inflating their prices in the weeks leading up to Black Friday to make the discounts seem better. So, is booking on Cyber Monday really worth it? Well, it depends on what you’re buying.
By and large, package vacation deals tend to appear early in Black Friday sales, especially those during school vacation periods and peak times. However, according to the Kayak price data, Cyber Monday may be the best time to book when hoping to score deals on domestic flights.
“In 2024, Cyber Monday delivered the lowest domestic fares of the season (average $316), while Travel Tuesday offered the lowest international fares (average $793), trends travelers may see again in 2025,” Kayak explains.
With that in mind, it may also be worth booking a trip to Myrtle Beach before the flight websites get jammed up with traffic from the additional international deals that flood Travel Tuesday (which is the following day).
Check Historical Flight Price Data To Make Sure You’re Actually Getting A Discounted Deal
To avoid scams or deals that aren’t as good as they look, it’s also worth looking at historical price data. Google Flights has made doing this easy: simply search for the desired flight, and click Track Prices.
This will provide price alerts if the cost goes up or down, but it’ll also show a graph with the flight prices over the past few months. Peaks and troughs will be displayed, so travelers can easily work out if the price shown is actually a true Cyber Monday (or Travel Tuesday) deal or not.
So, with golden sands and the sound of the lapping Atlantic Ocean on the cards for 2026, now is the time to grab a cheap flight to Myrtle Beach. If Kayak’s year-on-year flight price data is anything to go by, the savings could be huge. Just be sure to check historical flight price data, shop around the different airlines and airports, and be as flexible as possible with booking dates to ensure you’re bagging the best bargain.
