Martha’s Vineyard Airport – MVY

Okay so I really like this airport because it’s super tiny and you basically need to show up no more than a half hour before your flight because there’s literally nobody there 90% of the time. The only annoying thing is that they don’t actually have a gate for you to wait in, sooo that’s a fun time. Especially when it’s pouring rain and you’re chillin under a tent outside

This is a terrific airport!
When we arrived in Martha’s Vineyard, we could not believe this was an airport. It looked like a big New England house, but alas it was an airport.
It took us 20 minutes, to deplane, get our luggage and procure our rental car. That has to be a world record! The staff is friendly and efficient.
The only negatives are that there is no news stand to purchase magazines and there are no bathrooms by the gates, only porta potties. Otherwise a great experience.

I spent 6 hours here waiting for flight and had a restaurant and nice rocking chairs to sit in.

It’s honestly like flying out of your friend’s backyard. Not much is to be expected, what with mostly puddle-​jumpers dropping tread or taking off on its one gate tarmac. Occasionally, you’ll see a JetBlue big bird towering over the Cessnas and other prop planes, but what’s the fun in that?
Ticket agents are gate agents are TSA, and if you show up 13 seconds before your flight time, you’re probably still in good shape to board. On the down side, amenities are few and far between, meaning newb travelers leaving the Vineyard for the first time better have a full charge on their iPad — early birds are in for a long wait.

While this probably the smallest airport I’ve been to in my life, it’s a pretty solid gateway for traveling to and from the Vineyard. While I love my ferry rides on and off island, if you can get a cheap ticket (I booked a JetBlue flight months in advance and got an awesome rate) this airport does the trick and provided me with an above average experience for my first time flying off island.
It’s a bit surreal — check in takes all of 5 minutes, no insane lines, the Security check was a breeze and every seemed to be happy and enjoying working there. Hung out for a bit outside waiting for our jet to touch down, they cleaned it up in 15 – 20 minutes, restocked it and before I knew it, I was touching down at JFK.
The restaurant here is worth a try if your starving too! I had a fried fish sandwich and some wine that surprisingly hit the spot!

This is a really cute airport. Why 4 stars? Not that it’s exceptional, just that there’s really nothing to complain about cuz it’s pretty small and only a few commercial airlines operate here. Upon touching down I see people sitting on lawn chairs outside the gate and was wondering why they choose this spot to enjoy the sun. Turns out it’s the waiting area. No carousel for baggage claim, just a sign and an area inside the hall.
There’s not much of a line for check in and security, except when people forget that this is still a real airport and IDs are needed to check in. Some ladies in front of us apparently commented on what a small airport this was and the security officer retaliated by announcing to everyone in line to get ready their boarding passes and IDs ready «like any other airport»!

Yeah it’s going to cost you your first born to fly in and out of here (though Jetblue is rocking some slightly cheaper flights & if you catch Cape Air on a good day they might only charge you second-​born rates). But this airport is pristine. The people are friendly as can be and the wait times are somewhere between non-​existent and negligible.
Check in for your flight (2 minutes), sit on one of the benches inside the easy breezy beautiful lobby or grab a bite at one of their two dining options– Plane View or Flatbread Pizza– til they call your flight. Go through security (3 minutes, 5 if someone’s slow to remove their Jimmy Choo’s) and then head out on the tarmac to your plane before you’ve even had time to realize you’re actually at an airport.
I’m usually a ferry chick when it comes to MV trips but this was so easy and hassle free, I’d recommend it to anyone with the disposable income to make it worthwhile. Plus, not sure about other flights but if you come from Boston you get to take those little 8-​seater prop planes and fulfill your 80’s Top Gun dream of being a pilot– weeeee!

For those who can afford it there is nothing like flying into MV. Clean, friendly quaint and welcoming. BRAVO! Loved the outdoor seating as a fist and last impression of MV.

I just love small airports: no lines, everyone smiles, you can wait for the plane outdoors in the beautiful Martha’s Vineyard weather. This one is a total gem! Beats the ferry ride over, hands down. And now that Jet Blue flies in it’s so easy. Other people that it was expensive, but we flew from California for about $ 400 a person — exactly the same as flying to JFK or BOS.

The airport is pretty small and really expensive to fly in or fly from but it is totally worth it if you have money to spend. There aren’t many people there but just nice to see a airport that isn’t too crazy.

The cutest airport ever!

The smallest airport I’ve ever been to, no line for checkin and barely one for security, multiple flight options to Boston so we were able to score one 4 hours early, a bright café for breakfast and boarding is super easy. I wish traveling was always this easy.
