Elite Airways LLC announced today that it will offer nonstop flights from Westchester County Airport in White Plains to Myrtle Beach International Airport in South Carolina.
Beginning on April 5, flights will run on Thursdays and Sundays, with early-bird fares starting at $199 each way.
The airline will also offer Thursday and Sunday direct flights from Albany International Airport to Myrtle Beach.
Elite Airways said in a statement that the new routes mark an expanded presence in the popular vacation destination in South Carolina.
Elite Airways President John Pearsall said the company is pleased to expand its presence in White Plains and Myrtle Beach and believes “this is a win-win for passengers looking to enjoy world-class vacation getaways.”
Elite Airways operates a fleet of Bombardier CRJ-200 and CRJ-700 jet airliners. Passengers onboard the pet-friendly airline receive free snacks and beverages, one free checked bag and no ticketing change fees.
Founded in 2006, Elite Airways provides charter and scheduled service throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Caribbean and South America. Based in Portland, Maine, the airline also offers flights from White Plains to Sarasota and Vero in Florida.
Too bad they already cancelled this service. No concern for people who already paid and booked flights. They offered no rebooking assistance or partnership with other airlines. Yes, refunds were offered but flights are now much more expensive since I’m traveling the week of July 4th. I did plan properly and booked in advance, but now I have to pay higher prices and they don’t seem to care. I’ve reached out multiple times through various channels and I had one response (a voicemail) but nothing since and I’ve tried a LOT. This is a poor way to do business in our area. Don’t book Elite airways. They can cancel you and leave you to make up the difference.
