What You Need to Know About Booking Flights to Nantucket
Booking a flight to Nantucket can be a little tricky depending on where you are in the country. Read on to discover everything you need to know about planning your next flight to Nantucket.
- Cape Air
Cape Air, otherwise known as Nantucket Airlines, is the local’s choice for flying between the island and Hyannis or Boston. Flights from the Cape are only twenty minutes and provide the quickest way to get to Nantucket. Flights begin at 6 a.m. and typically run until late afternoon. Cape Air allows one checked bag along with one gate-checked bag (it’s a small plane). If you plan to travel back and forth to Nantucket frequently, you’ll want to consider purchasing a TravelPass that includes a 10-ticket flight pass.
- Major Airlines
If you live in or near one of the major Northeastern airport hubs, you’re in luck: JetBlue, Delta, American, and United Airlines all have direct flights from Boston and New York City into Nantucket. Flights are also available from Washington D.C., Newark, New Jersey, and Charlotte, North Carolina, as well as from select small airports in the Northeast. If you’re coming from elsewhere in the country, simplify your travel plans by connecting through New York’s LaGuardia or Boston Logan airports. Flights are limited throughout the day, so you’ll want to plan far in advance.
- Private Chartered Flights
Combine comfort and leisure when you charter a private flight from the Cape to Nantucket. Cape Air offers an exclusive personal air experience for a quick, private trip. You can also book your private flight through host websites such as AirPartner, JetOne Aviation, Stratos Jet Charters, and Tradewind Aviation.
