Flight

Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport & Boston Logan Airport

T.F. Green airport outside of Providence is a slightly closer option for those who are arriving by plane. It is about a 45 minute drive from Mattapoisett. Boston's Logan Airport will likely have cheaper flights, but is a slightly farther drive (a little over an hour - plan for some traffic as you will be driving in the same direction as Cape Cod).
