New England - Three hours at MVY

Hello what would you do on a three-hour layover, landing at 1 and leaving at 4PM ?

Is there an easy to reach lobster shack?

Thanks!

You like 3 hour layovers at MVY and ACK? :p Substitute MVY for ACK in my advice to you on this thread: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/new-england/1364323-three-hours-ack.html#post18890935

Any more advice for MVY? The ACK advice is helpful!

I'm just really curious as to how one gets a layover in ACK and in MVY! I've never heard of this in the past. What is the itinerary?

I'm just really curious as to how one gets a layover in ACK and in MVY! I've never heard of this in the past. What is the itinerary?I wondered when the OP asked the very same question about ACK which airline uses ACK as a hub? Does the same airline use MVY also as a hub? :p

DL to Cape Air. Much more interesting than changing in BOS.

Any ideas on my questions?

well there is a bus system round the island the VTA which has various routes so you could probably see at least on the the towns - also there are taxi's at the airport which may be easier and could give you a look at a couple of them.

Menemsha is a typical fishing village with a fried clam shack called The Bite

depending on which day it is there are various markets going on- some days a farmers market, others a local artisan fair

and if you're coming on certain days in august there is also the local ag fair with all that it brings with it.

do you have 3 hours between landing and take off or is that time left after calculating check in etc - in the summer they are more strict about what time you have to be at the airport.

let me know if you need any other info

So eventually we arrived in MVY to learn that Cape had cancelled our flight and we ended up on a ferry. So we spent a few hours in the town the ferry leaves from, which is not too nice. It sucked.

It was a very bad idea and routing. Oh also a lot of the people we dealt with seemed to just hate having to work for us. I will now avoid this area of the US. Better go to Maine for example.

So you got screwed by airlines both in MVY and ACK? That's probably why no one would even think of using these vacation islands as hubs. :p
