Step 1

If you are thinking of taking flights to South Carolina, determine first which city you are visiting. South Carolina has many airports including primary airports such as Columbia, Charlotte, Florence, Greer, Spartan Head, Hilton Head Island, and Myrtle Beach. The latter is a popular destination for travelers as this is a coastal city.

Step 2

Once you have determined where you want to go, use any travel website online and enter the desired dates and number of passengers. A price comparison site will also ask whether you want to use specific travel websites for cheap flights to South Carolina. You can use one of these sites to check and see which airlines are flying to the destination city you choose. For example, if you intend to fly from Miami to Charlotte, you’ll see that there are several planes flying nonstop to the destination on airlines such as US Airways, American Airlines, and United Airlines. However, if Spartanburg is your final destination, expect a layover in Greenville or Newark Liberty. The lowest fares and the most direct flights will be displayed first enabling you to choose cheap flights to South Carolina.

Step 3

Since plowing through all the routes displayed can often be time consuming and takes a lot of patience, you could just take a short cut and look at the airport websites of the places where you want to fly. This will also make it easier to find cheap flights to South Carolina by knowing airlines flying to the state and thus, eliminating the hassle of dealing with pages of flights and combinations to your intended destinations using a price comparison site.

Step 4

Take a look at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport, South Carolina’s primary airport. It is serviced by 15 major airline carriers that not only have flights to the state but also outside of the US. Lufthansa, Jet Blue Airlines, Delta, Continental, Air Continental Express, and AirTran Airways are a few of the airlines that fly to Charlotte. Thus, you can check which cheap flights are available from the websites of these airlines with the least amount of layovers. In addition, if you’re flying out of the country, you can check which destinations outside of the US are available.

Step 5

Lastly, you might want to consider using Priceline.com that could negotiate cheap flights to and from South Carolina. Although you will not know the details of your travel, itinerary nor the carrier when you use the 'Name Your Price' button, this can save you money if time is not a factor and you don’t mind extra layovers. You can even include car hire and hotels in addition to cheap flights to South Carolina.
