Martha’s Vineyard Airport (MVY) is served by: - American Airlines (via DCA and LGA) - JetBlue (via BOS, DCA, EWR, and JFK) - Delta (via JFK and LGA) - Cape Air (via BOS, Hyannis, and Westchester) - Tradewind (via Morristown and Teterboro)

Boston Logan Airport is the largest airport near Martha's Vineyard - about a 2-hour drive to the Woods Hole ferry - and it's easy to catch a connecting flight directly to Martha's Vineyard via JetBlue or CapeAir. However, if you prefer to fly to Boston and take a ferry to Martha's Vineyard, year-round bus service is available from Boston Logan Airport/South Station Transportation Terminal to the Steamship Authority ferry terminal in Woods Hole, MA via Peter Pan Bus (https://peterpanbus.com/). Plymouth-Brockton Bus (https://www.p-b.com/) also provides service year-round from Boston Logan Airport to the Hyannis Transportation Center (a 9-minute walk/3-minute drive from the Hy-Line Ferry terminal in Hyannis) or from Boston Logan Airport directly to the Steamship Authority's Woods Hole, MA ferry terminal. Be sure to schedule your arrival well in advance of your ferry's departure time.
Travel Note
The Steamship Authority operates year-round ferry service to Martha's Vineyard. It's a quick 45-minute ride from the Woods Hole ferry terminal to the ferry terminals in Vineyard Haven or Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard (both locations are equally convenient to all towns). If you would like to bring a car onto the island, this is the ONLY option, and you'll need to make a reservation for both you and your car well in advance. Car reservations will be released on January 1, 2022 for September 2022. Vehicle reservations typically fill up in a matter of days (sometimes hours), especially for the most desirable times, so make sure to book as soon as they're released.

Round-trip tickets for cars range from $118-$138 (depending on vehicle size), and it is $19 round-trip for passengers. *Note that if you book a vehicle reservation, each person traveling in your car will need a passenger ticket as well.*
