Which Airlines Fly to Cape Cod?
The simple answer is: Which airline you'll choose depends on where you're coming from ...
From Boston, MA
No matter where in the world you're coming from, if your flight originates in Boston or connects through Boston, Cape Air Airlines will bring you the rest of the way here in a short 30-minute flight to either Hyannis or Provincetown.
Cape Air flights to Hyannis and Provincetown are available year round.
From Providence, RI
During the summer months, Cape Air airlines also offers daily flights from Providence, RI to Hyannis.
Note: This route is only available from late May to about the middle of September. And Cape Air doesn't fly from Providence to Provincetown. So if you want to fly into Provincetown, you'll have to connect through Boston.
From New York City
At this time, there are no direct flights from New York City to Cape Cod.
Efforts are underway to reinstate service from LaGuardia to Hyannis. But so far, it hasn't happened.
However, if you want to fly from New York City to the Cape, then you might want to look into Cape Air's "Manhattan Island Hop" from Westchester County Airport to Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard, then connecting on to Hyannis.
This is a seasonal route only, from April through December. Manhattan ground transportation is available.
From Martha's Vineyard
Cape Air also has regularly scheduled daily service between Martha's Vineyard and Hyannis, year round.
From Nantucket
Nantucket Air and Island Air offers daily flights between Hyannis and Nantucket, year round.
Our Airports
We have two main airports on Cape Cod that are large enough to handle commercial air traffic.
The primary one is Barnstable Municipal Airport in Hyannis.
The other is Provincetown Airport in (you guessed it!) Provincetown. Barnstable Municipal Airport in Hyannis is very centrally located, so this is the airport you'll most likely choose if you're staying in any of the following towns:

- Orleans - 27 miles
