An event on Martha’s Vineyard puts everyone on the same island on the same day, and the dates and times are worth agreeing on well before the date.
Getting a Wedding Party There
A wedding on Martha’s Vineyard means guests converging on one island on one day, and the flights are the part of the plan most likely to be left until last.
Guests Arriving From Everywhere
Guests rarely start from the same place. We can gather people onto a single aircraft at a mainland airport or run separate legs, and on a summer weekend the single aircraft is usually easier because it needs one parking space rather than several.
The Day After
The departure the day after is the leg worth booking at the same time as the arrival. It is always the one people leave open, and in summer it is the one with the least availability.
Martha’s Vineyard Patterns We Plan Around
The tower keeps two sets of hours. From the middle of May to the end of October it runs from six in the morning until ten at night. From the first of November to the middle of May it closes at five in the afternoon, which is earlier than most people expect and is worth checking against a winter itinerary before anything is booked.
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
