With a full cabin

They are ranges rather than single numbers because weather and air traffic control do not deal in single numbers. Party size assumed: six.

Departing Key West
Flying out of Key West
Key West is the clearest case in Florida for flying privately: the alternative is either a connection or a four-hour drive down US-1 behind traffic that does not move. Forty minutes from Miami by air.
- Replaces a four-hour drive or a connection with a forty-minute flight
- Extremely popular in winter and around events — book early
- Runway and ramp space favour light and mid-size aircraft
Worth knowing before you plan
EYW has a 4,801 ft runway and limited ramp space. Light and mid-size jets operate routinely; larger aircraft are frequently restricted on payload or turned away at busy periods. This is a field where aircraft selection is not a preference, it is a constraint.
Arriving Martha’s Vineyard
Martha’s Vineyard Airport
The Vineyard is a ferry queue and a half-day for anyone driving, and about an hour in the air from the Northeast. Summer demand is extraordinary and the season is short, which makes notice worth more here than almost anywhere.
- Turns a half-day with a ferry booking into an hour
- July and August book out weeks ahead — this is not a market for short notice
- Fog is a real operational factor in early summer
Worth knowing before you plan
Like Nantucket, the Vineyard gets genuine fog, particularly in June. We plan alternates in advance rather than improvising on the day, and we would rather tell you the risk beforehand than manage disappointment afterwards.

Change the party size or the date
The configurator checks routed distance against realistic full-cabin range, so it will never recommend an aircraft that cannot actually make the trip with everyone aboard.
