Where flights typically depart and land
Typically depart from
Boston · BED
Laurence G Hanscom Field (BED; KBED) is the departure gateway used for this itinerary. Confirm the FBO or handling terminal, reporting time and final passenger list before arranging the collection. A city name alone is not sufficient to identify the correct meeting point.
Typically land at
Martha's Vineyard · MVY
Martha's Vineyard Airport (MVY; KMVY) is the arrival gateway used here. Arrange the driver or onward connection from the agreed handling point, with the property address and a contact who can respond to a change in arrival time.
Martha's Vineyard is a seasonal island gateway. Agree the handling location and onward transport in advance, particularly when the stay is tied to a busy summer weekend. For a domestic sector, compare the total door-to-door journey and the actual private-terminal locations, including the drive after landing.
What makes this route work well by charter
Compare a short private flight with ferry and road arrangements for an island stay. At roughly 71 nautical miles, the flight can be considered as part of a focused regional itinerary. Compare a waiting aircraft with separately sourced outward and return sectors if the visit is short.
Plan your time on the ground
Before leaving Boston: A focused Freedom Trail walk. The full trail connects 16 sites over 2.5 miles. Choose a guided section and allow two to three hours as an itinerary estimate, with extra time if entering buildings. For your stay in Martha's Vineyard: Edgartown’s harbour streets. Allow a half-day to explore the historic streets, harbour and selected galleries, with plenty of time for lunch. This is a rewarding walking programme without a car appointment at every stop. Use the two destination guides below to match the final airport transfer with the places you actually want to visit.
