To celebrate the start of summer, Tradewind Aviation relaunches its Newport scheduled service, offering travelers direct access to Newport State Airport from the New York Metropolitan area.
The service is set to return June 22, with Tradewind Aviation inviting weekenders, vacation homeowners and anyone looking to explore the history, culture and coastal setting of Newport.
As a premium operator of private and scheduled flights throughout the United States and Caribbean, Tradewind Aviation will offer flight service between Westchester County Airport and Newport State Airport in Middletown, Rhode Island, located 10 minutes from downtown Newport. In New York, flights will depart from Million Air private terminal, which offers complimentary parking, a valet service and streamlined security, allowing guests to arrive at the terminal just 30 minutes before departure.
The service features round-trip flights Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday, along with select holiday Tuesdays between June 25 and Sept. 5. Flight times are only about 35 minutes each way and rates range $145–445 per seat each way.
Guests can expect an enjoyable, comfortable and convenient flight in the fleet of Pilatus PC-12 aircraft. Every flight features complimentary refreshments, snacks, wine, beer and the latest issue of the airline’s in-flight magazine.
“Newport is one of those special places that once you’ve experienced it, you can’t wait to go back. We’re excited to relaunch our annual summer flights to offer travelers convenience from the greater New York area to one of New England’s most distinguished hotspots [sic],” said David Zipkin, co-founder and CMO, Tradewind Aviation. “Our unique fleet of Pilatus PC-12 aircraft ensures a comfortable flight and is perfectly suited for the relatively small runway in Newport, offering our guests an easy and efficient way to enjoy all that Newport has to offer while avoiding summer traffic.”

May 28, 2025Williamsburg Inn Review
You don’t have to love brass chandeliers or brocade to appreciate what Williamsburg Inn does best: delivering a polished, unpretentious stay amid America’s most iconic living history museum. This is where you check in for traditional luxury without feeling like you’re trapped in a time capsule. The Queen stayed here (twice), and so did Eisenhower, but you’re not here to make history. You’re here to enjoy it, on your own terms.

May 27, 2025Plan a Legendary Gathering in Honolulu
Myths and origin stories form a powerful framework for the history of Hawai‘i. Marking the horizon behind Honolulu, the ancient volcanic formation of Lē‘ahi — technically a volcanic tuff cone more commonly known to the world as Diamond Head — provides a constant physical reminder of the tales that shaped the history of this location. While researching legends for my Hawai‘i-based Dark Paradise Mysteries series (Kensington Books), I learned the tale of the demigod Maui, who used his enchanted fishing hook to reach into the sea to heave the Hawaiian islands, including Diamond Head, above the surface of the water.
