Beau Rivage Charter Flights: MGMAir Lists 102 Cities, Posts Every Date, and Publishes No Price
MGM Resorts posts a month-by-month schedule of its charter flights to Beau Rivage for anyone to read: 62 trips from 45 cities in the November 2026 file alone, on Sun Country 737s into Gulfport-Biloxi. What it does not post is a price. Here is which cities fly, who gets an offer, who gets a quote, and how to reach Biloxi without the plane.
Published 2026-11-10.
Beau Rivage's charter flights are sold under the name MGMAir, flown by Sun Country on 737-800s into Gulfport-Biloxi International, and scheduled a month at a time in PDFs that MGM Resorts posts for anyone to read. The November 2026 file lists 62 trips from 45 cities, each a three- or four-night stay with the bus and the bags handled. What MGM does not post is a price. Its page says to call 888-640-8973 to book, and adds "Sign in to mgmresorts.com to view all your available offers," which is a polite way of saying that what you pay depends on who you are.
So the honest answer to who can fly has two halves. Anyone can read the schedule and ring the number. What comes back, a quote or an offer, is decided by MGM, and nothing MGM publishes says how.
MGMAir is MGM Resorts' charter program to two casinos: Beau Rivage in Biloxi and Borgata in Atlantic City. Its city list names 102 places in 30 states and Ontario. For Beau Rivage, schedules were posted through January 2027, with 62 trips in the November file, 61 in December and 60 in January. Florida and Texas flights are mostly three nights and the rest mostly four. A change or cancellation inside 14 days costs $250 a person. No price and no tier requirement is published: MGM Rewards members with an offer see it when they sign in, and everyone else gets a quote by phone. If your city is not flying, Gulfport-Biloxi's airport is 14 miles from the resort and New Orleans is a 90-mile drive.
What MGMAir is
MGM's page promises "departures from over 90 cities" and lists four things every passenger gets: a seat on "a dedicated Sun Country 737-800," motorcoach transfers between the airport and the resort, luggage "checked in at the airport and delivered directly to your room," and a three- or four-night stay.
The program is older than the name. WLOX reported in June 2014 that Sun Country had just taken over the Beau Rivage flights from Vision Airlines, whose seven-year contract had expired days earlier, and that the flights were "for the resort's preferred players," about 50 to 60 of them a month; the year before, the air program had carried more than 81,000 passengers on 656 flights. Gulfport-Biloxi International, which dates the program's formal launch to 2009, announced its millionth passenger on August 25, 2022, off a flight from St. Pete-Clearwater, and said the charters made up about a quarter of the airport's air service. By then the description had widened. "Tiered-pricing packages are offered to casino players and leisure travelers," the release said.
Sun Country itself changed hands this year. Allegiant agreed to buy it in January 2026 and, by Wikipedia's account citing CNBC, closed on May 13; the two still operate separately, and MGM's page still names Sun Country.
Which cities, and how often
The city list is long and the schedule is lopsided. This is the November 2026 file, in the regions MGM uses.
| MGM's region | Trips | Nights | Cities |
|---|---|---|---|
| Florida | 18 | 3 | Clearwater (10), Daytona Beach, Gainesville, Jacksonville, Melbourne, Orlando-Sanford, Punta Gorda, Sarasota, West Palm Beach |
| Northern | 17 | 4 | Detroit (3), Canton-Akron (2), Milwaukee (2), Cedar Rapids, Dayton, Flint, Green Bay, Louisville, Madison, Peoria, Pittsburgh, Rockford, South Bend |
| Southeast | 10 | 3 or 4 | Myrtle Beach (2), Atlanta, Augusta, Charleston, Chattanooga, Greensboro, Raleigh-Durham, Savannah, Wilmington |
| Texas | 10 | 3 | San Antonio (3), McAllen (2), Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Houston, Lubbock |
| Central | 4 | 4 | Kansas City, Memphis, Paducah, St. Louis |
| Northeast | 3 | 4 | Baltimore, Philadelphia, Richmond |
Clearwater is the trunk route, a flight every three days all month. Detroit and San Antonio get three each. Thirty-eight of the 45 cities get exactly one, which means that from Peoria or Lubbock the program is one date a month at best, and the date is MGM's.
Nor is every listed city flying. None of the New England or upstate New York names on the 102-city list, Hartford, Providence, Albany, Buffalo and Syracuse among them, appears in the November, December or January files. Two cities that do fly in November, Atlanta and Punta Gorda, are not on the list at all. The list tells you where MGMAir has operated. The monthly PDF tells you where it is going.
Who is invited, and who can buy
MGM publishes no tier threshold for a seat. What it publishes is the phone number, the sign-in prompt, and a fee policy.
The fee policy is the clearest document in the program. "Convenience Fees are non-refundable if cancelled at any time." A reservation changed or cancelled "within 14 days of arrival," or a passenger who simply does not board, "will incur a $250 per person fee," and if the card on file cannot cover it, "your MGM Rewards Points will be charged." MGM asks you to arrive two hours before departure, and the counter closes 45 minutes before. One carry-on and one personal item are allowed in the cabin, luggage tags arrive by mail before the trip, and pets do not fly.
On price there is one printed number, and it is old. When MGM extended the charters to Borgata in June 2021, its press release quoted "packages starting at $553 per person" for airfare, three nights and transfers. Casino.org's report the next day described the seats as for "select members" of the loyalty program "who meet the minimum requirements," without saying what those were. Nothing on today's page repeats either line.
For scale, Caesars flies Sun Country into the same airport for Harrah's Gulf Coast, and its public search does show a price to a visitor who is not signed in: $129 to $529 a person for three or four nights when we ran it on November 10, most often around $329, before a $50 or $55 administrative fee. Our Caesars Rewards Air explainer has the detail.
MGM's tier table has an air benefit too, and it is a different thing. Platinum members get an air travel credit of up to $600 and NOIR up to $1,200, usable toward Las Vegas, Beau Rivage or Borgata; our MGM Rewards explainer has the table. That is money against a commercial ticket, not a seat on the charter.
The advice to work on a host first
The usual advice about casino charters, including in an older piece of ours, is that you earn a tier, cultivate a host, and then ask whether the plane is "on the table." For Beau Rivage that is the wrong order.
The schedule is public and the booking line is printed next to it. Read the PDF for your region, find your city and its dates, and call. Ask for the package price first, and only then whether your MGM Rewards account carries an offer for that flight; if you have played at an MGM property, sign in before you call and look. The airport's 2022 line about tiered pricing for leisure travelers says a paying customer with no play history is someone the program expects to hear from.
What a host can do is still real. Our charter comp piece covers how play turns into invitations, and nobody outside the casino knows the numbers. But the first call costs nothing, and the worst outcome is a price.
If your city is not on the schedule
Gulfport-Biloxi International is 14 miles and about half an hour from the resort by OpenStreetMap routing. The airport's own airline page names American, Delta, United, Sun Country and Breeze, with year-round nonstops to Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas/Fort Worth and Houston, seasonal ones to Minneapolis-St. Paul and Orlando, and Las Vegas and Tampa listed as recently announced.
Driving is the other way in, and it is all Interstate 10. New Orleans' airport is 101 miles and just under two hours; downtown New Orleans is 90 miles. Downtown Mobile is 63 miles and about 70 minutes. Pensacola's airport is 120 miles. Our Gulf Coast guide covers what is there when you arrive, and the charter flights page has a finder for the nearest departure city in each program.
Borgata is the half of MGMAir that looks thin. MGM's page carried Beau Rivage schedules through January 2027 but only October and November for Borgata, and the November file ends with trips returning on the 15th: nine flights in all, five of them from Detroit and the rest from Erie, Columbus, Cleveland and Canton-Akron. We do not know whether that is a seasonal pause or a smaller program, and the page does not say. If gambling has stopped being something you decide the cost of in advance, 1-800-GAMBLER is free and confidential.
