Check the real price for your date
What moves the price
The date comes first. Almost all demand falls between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
Then positioning: if the closest available jet is parked somewhere else, the time it takes to reach Teterboro ends up on your bill.
Fog is common on Nantucket and can delay or divert flights, so keep some flexibility on arrival time.
What the price leaves out
Before comparing two quotes, check whether they include these:
- Handling, parking and landing fees charged by the terminals at Teterboro and Nantucket.
- Winter de-icing at Teterboro: rarely mentioned in the first quote, sometimes significant on the invoice.
- Crew hotel and per diem if the aircraft waits for you in Nantucket.
- Minimums: on a flight this short, many operators bill at least one or two hours, so the bill can be higher than the flight time suggests.

Good to know on this route
- Almost all demand falls between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
- Turboprops like the Pilatus PC-12 are popular here because the flight is short.
- Friday departures and Sunday returns in July and August are the hardest to book.
Ways to bring the price down
- Move by a day: the day before or after a peak date can make a real difference.
- Look for empty legs: jets often fly one way with nobody on board after dropping off a client. Those flights can sell for much less, but the time is fixed and they can be cancelled.
- Book the return together: a round trip on the same aircraft is often cheaper than two one-way flights.
- Book peak dates early: for holidays and big events, aircraft run out and prices climb in the last two weeks.
