Why fly to Norwood?
Here's the thing about OWD — it keeps things simple. One route, one destination: Nantucket (ACK), sitting 139 km off the coast. And honestly, that's kind of perfect. Nantucket isn't easy to get to, which is exactly why people love it. The island has this whole untouched, old-money-meets-beach-shack thing going on — cobblestone streets, proper chowder, zero chain restaurants. Cape Air (operating as 9K) runs the connection, and their small-plane flights feel almost like a private charter experience. If you're planning a summer escape and you don't want to deal with the ferry crowds, flying out of Norwood is genuinely one of the smarter moves you can make.

Tips for travelers at OWD
OWD is about 25 miles south of downtown Boston — driving is really your best bet here since public transit options are limited. Route 1 gets you close, and parking is way less painful than anything near Logan. I'd recommend checking Cape Air's schedule early because flights to Nantucket book up fast in summer, especially weekends in July. The terminal is tiny, so don't stress about arriving two hours early — but do confirm your flight directly with the airline since small airports can have weather-related changes that aren't always updated instantly online.
