Which side of the plane to sit from New Bedford Regional Airport (New Bedford) to Martha's Vineyard Airport (Vineyard Haven MA)?
Right Side of the Plane
The flight provides a spectacular low-altitude vantage point of the private Elizabeth Islands chain and the iconic multi-colored clay cliffs of Aquinnah.
Elizabeth Islands
A unique perspective of the long, pristine chain of private islands including Naushon, Pasque, and Nashawena.
Cuttyhunk Island
The remote and charming village at the very end of the Elizabeth Islands archipelago, visible mid-flight.
Gay Head Cliffs
The world-renowned red, orange, and white clay cliffs of Aquinnah on the westernmost tip of the island.
Menemsha Bight
The quintessential New England fishing village, famous for its sunsets and appearance in the movie Jaws.
This side is superior for natural landmarks. Keep your camera ready as you cross Buzzards Bay for the Elizabeth Islands. On clear days, you can see all the way to Block Island in the distance.
Mattapoisett Waterfront
A beautiful view of the South Coast harbors and Ned Point Lighthouse shortly after departure from New Bedford.
Woods Hole
The scenic tip of Cape Cod where major oceanographic institutions and the busy ferry terminal are located.
West Chop

Vineyard Haven Harbor
A bird's-eye view of the main port of entry for the island, often filled with schooners and ferries.
The left side is ideal for seeing the coastal geography of Cape Cod and the nautical traffic in the sound. Early morning flights offer the best lighting on the Falmouth shoreline.
