Martha’s Vineyard Airport sits a few miles from Vineyard Haven, so the drive at the far end is short and the flight is the part worth planning.
Getting the Group There
A party weekend on Martha’s Vineyard usually starts on a Friday and ends when everyone can face the journey home, which is exactly why the return leg needs a little thought.
Timings That Suit the Weekend
We can arrange a late arrival and a relaxed departure, within the airport’s operating day. In summer that day runs until ten at night; from November it ends at five in the afternoon, which surprises people planning an off-season weekend.
One Person Books It
One person contracts for the trip and is the point of contact, that person will take the financial and legal responsibility for the flight. If the group wants to split the cost among yourselves afterwards that is entirely your arrangement, but the booking sits with one name.
Martha’s Vineyard Patterns We Plan Around
July and August are the island’s peak and the airport is busiest then, so a summer date is worth asking about early and a holiday weekend, even earlier. Winter is the opposite problem: the island is quiet, but the tower day is short.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Before we confirm anything, we check:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- The operator’s safety and incident history
- That the pilots are experienced, qualified and current on the aircraft type you will be flying on
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them
