Laguardia Airport to Myrtle Beach International LGA → MYR
490 nautical miles (564 statute miles) southwest on a straight line, true course 211°, about 223° magnetic at the departure end (variation 12W). At 120 knots that is 5 h 20 min at the quickest height in today's winds (4,500 ft, a 28-knot headwind), arriving about 1:08 am EDT (05:08 UTC), after sunset at the destination. Right now LGA is IFR, wind from the east-northeast (060°) at 13 knots; MYR is marginal VFR, wind from the west-southwest (250°) at 12 knots, gusting to 17. For planning, not a briefing: the legal preflight briefing comes from Flight Service (1-800-WX-BRIEF) or the FAA's own tools. Airlines fly this pair: 1,470 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

The westbound cruising heights for this course (VFR: even thousands plus 500 ft; above 18,000 ft the forecast levels), with the wind averaged along the line from the 5 forecast points nearest it (JFK, ACY, ORF, RDU, ILM). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 11th at 18:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 00:00 UTC for use 20:00 to 03:00 UTC; temperatures above 24,000 ft are below zero. Heights are above sea level; a height is left out when the forecast has no wind for it over most of the line (the ground is higher). Ground speed is the airspeed less the headwind; the time en route is for the straight line and ignores climb, descent and routing around weather.
