Tailwind Air on Tuesday started direct nonstop seaplane service between Manhattan and Boston Harbor.
The flights on eight-passenger aircraft between the New York Skyport on the East River and a floating dock in Boston Harbor take about 75 minutes. In Boston, a water taxi shuttles clients to and from the float on a seven-minute trip from the South Boston waterfront.
âOur service combines the accessibility of the train with the speed of a flight,â CEO and Tailwind founder Alan Ram said in a statement.
Although the seaplanes can cut total travel times up to 60%, flights start at $395 one way, which includes a standard-sized rolling bag up to 20 pounds (9 kilograms). The service is also dog friendly.
