  • Arriving: Friday 4-7pm and Saturday 10am - 12pm
  • Departing: Sunday 12-5pm

Airports

  • Logan Airport - the largest airport with the most flights is also home to some of the nation's worst traffic
  • TF Green Airport - Providence is just as close to Orleans as Boston and usually offers less expensive flights and less traffic than Boston
  • Hyannis Airport - Only forty minutes from Orleans, this full service airport is pricey but convenient
