BOS <-> BDA Nonstop
I have a property on Bermuda from early December to early February.and I live in the Boston area. I'm also high-risk (67, cancer) so spend most of my time alone in my house, but I've been very productive with art and music projects, so I thought I'd spend a couple of months in Bermuda, where Covid risks are low and where I can be productive alone in a house with a view of the ocean.
But I'm having trouble finding nonstop flights. I want nonstop for Covid-safety. Delta used to fly BOS to BDA but they don't seem to anymore. I wanted to fly Delta because I'm a Delta frequent flyer and I also wanted a first-class seat for better social distancing. I've also been told that Jet Blue has nonstop flights but I didn't see any on their website. I've never flown JetBlue because I think of them as an economy-class airline and that's not usually how I fl . Also, do they even have any class of seat with lots of spacing like first class, or alternatively can I buy a whole economy row of seats for myself on them? Any other options for going direct between Boston and Bermuda without a layover? Thanks in advance. Thanks in advance. |

BDA Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.F._W...tional_Airport List of routes probably not up to date, but a starting point BDA Arrivals & Departures Keep a watch on what airlines are flying to where Now days some airlines may not be flying every day, so look every day for a week https://bermudaairport.com/flights/ https://www.flightradar24.com/data/airports/bda |
There are some direct JetBlue flights in Dec. Expand you date range. I found BOS-BDA flights on Dec 19th, 22nd, 24th, 26th.

Yes, I'm aware of those, but I have this property for the months of December and January at great cost and I don't want to give up almost 3 weeks of it by waiting that long. Time is more important to me than money so I'm currently researching charters. Anyone here know anything about charting a flight? I've done it once before, but for a domestic flight across the South many years ago. |
Drive to New York, whether in your car or a rental? To keep public transportation exposure to a minimum.

Boston <-> Bermuda is only 775 miles. Why should it be so hard to hire a charter? There are plenty of small twin-engined turboprops capable of making that flight. |

No that's too far for me to drive,, and then drive back at the end of my trip.

Take Amtrak Boston New York and then a taxi-uber to the airport If I could find someone with a twin-engined turboprop based in Massachusetts to fly out of Bedford I could have my GF drive me to Bedford MA, which is a short drive. all those other risks could be avoided. The question is how to locate such a service. I contacted Massport - the government agency that runs the airports in Massachusetts, including BOS and BED (KBED), but they don't seem to have a business-development liaison like some airports do, with lists of operators. |

But question: Is there a systematic way to find these things? Just doing a web search lands me hits on operators from all over the US, which means I have to pay ferry charges back to their home base if it's not in New England. |

Excellent. That's what I need. They have a Pilatus PC-12 for a reasonable price. I've left an inquiry. Thanks!

For pricing reference, we have paid $4,750 for a 110 mile round trip private charter (not Tradewind) in the Caribbean. |
