NEW
Direct Air Service Leaves Myrtle Beach
Just a Chip Shot Away
for Montreal, Ottawa and Up State New
York Golfers
Traditionally
Canadian golfers from Montreal, Ottawa
and Up State New York would prefer
to drive 16 – 18 hours to get
to their favorite golf destination
than fly. Flying to Myrtle Beach generally
meant connecting flights, extra time
in airports, a greater chance of luggage
not making it, and was expensive.
Well
that has all changed NOW! Myrtle Beach
Direct Air Service has turn what was
once a long drive to America's #1
Golf Destination into a "chip
shot." Beginning March 15, 2008
golfers will now have the option to
make a short drive to Plattsburgh
New York, and 2 hours later they are
in warm and sunny Myrtle Beach. The
best is yet to come – One Way
airfares will start as low as $99.00.
Depending on the time of year there
could be as many as 3 flights per
week and flight options will give
travelers every option to maximize
their time at the Beach.
"We
are confident that we can attract
a large audience from the Montreal
and Ottawa market, especially with
the exchange rate being so favorable"
said Ed Warneck, President of Myrtle
Beach Direct Air. "We believe
our 3 weekly non-stop flights will
appeal to the Canadian audience. Besides
the savings with low fares and favorable
exchange rate, the passenger benefits
with additional savings of airport
fees and FREE PARKING in Plattsburgh.
The low fares of $99.00 each way allows
residents of both communities to fly
with Myrtle Beach Direct Air on a
more frequent basis."

In
the spring of 2007 Myrtle Beach
Direct Air introduced a similar
program out of Niagara Falls,
New York that caters to upper
Western New York region, Toronto
and Southern Ontario markets.
The program has operated with
overwhelming success from day
one even throughout the summer
time period. With Montreal being
less than an hour away from Plattsburgh
and with Ottawa less than 2 hours
from Plattsburgh the situation
is much the same as that in Niagara
Falls so there is no doubt that
this program will operate with
similar success.
So
what give Myrtle Beach the distinction
of calling itself America's,
(if not the world's) #1 Golf
Destination? In the spring of
2007 Golf Digest named 10 Myrtle
Beach area courses to its list
of "America's Greatest
Public Courses" list, more
public courses than any other
destination in the United States.
"Placing
10 Grand Strand courses on Golf
Digest's list of "Top 100
Public Golf Courses" reinforces
our saying that ‘It Can
Only Happen Here,'" said
Bill Golden, vice president
and director of marketing of
Myrtle Beach Golf Holiday. "No
other golf destination in the
world has the quality and quantity
of public golf courses that
Myrtle Beach has to offer."
