Snow is falling and temperatures are plummeting, but the sun was shining on Chicago area golfers this week.
Spirit Airlines announced on December 17 that the ultra low-cost carrier will begin seasonal service between Chicago and Myrtle Beach on March 1, 2009.
The daily non-stop service will run through November 11. The flights will originate out of O’Hare Airport and provide a low-cost link between America’s favorite golf destination and one of its most golf-crazed cities.
The Spirit flight will leave O’Hare at 2:15 CST each day. The return flight from Myrtle Beach will depart the Grand Strand at 11 a.m. EST. In May the flight from Chicago will leave earlier and the departure from Myrtle Beach will be pushed into the afternoon, more beneficial times for golfers.
One of the nation’s premier low-cost air carriers, Spirit has a host of introductory rates to lure golfers from Chicago to Myrtle Beach this spring.
Direct Air will also be shuttling golfers from Rockford, Ill., just outside of Chicago, to Myrtle Beach, meaning it will be easier than ever for Windy City golfers to flock to the Grand Strand.
