Martha's Vineyard Travel Information
Planes
If you are traveling by plane from the midwest it would be ideal to fly straight to Martha’s Vineyard, but this may not be the most affordable route…pretty, yes, cheap…not so much.
If you are flying from NYC, Jet Blue offers flights from NYC to Logan to Martha’s Vineyard. If you book in advance this is affordable.
We suggest flying into the Boston Logan Airport.
Trains “BUS”
From the Logan Airport and NYC Port Authority you can take a Bus to Woods Hole, MA where you then hop on he ferry.
