Portland - Minneapolis
Domestic
Unreliable and the customer service is terrible. My flight was cancelled an hour before departure and the trip ended up costing hundreds of dollars more. All I received was a disingenuous “sorry.” This was my first and last experience with Cape Air.

Isla de Vieques - San Juan
Domestic
We had an excellent experience flying from the smallest airport I've ever seen in Vieques back to San Juan at the end of our vacation week in Puerto Rico. We had taken the ferry to VQS from Ceiba, but thought it would be a fun experience to fly on a small plane for the return. The airport lobby was small but pleasant, with a tourist video playing on loop which allowed us to enjoy reliving all the fun things we did while on the island. All the staff was pleasant and helpful, checking in and weighing our bags and asking our weight in order to balance the plane. I was nervous about not getting there early enough like at a regular airport, but everyone assured us we didn't have to arrive with much time in advance which was true. We boarded right on time, just walking right out to the plane. The flight ended up being as much fun as some of the other amazing activities we did all week! We had never been such a small plane (10 seat Cessna) and were seated directly behind the pilot - and I mean, inches apart. There was no copilot and my husband joked that he could offer his help since he was practically in the seat anyway. The pilot had a great sense of humor and made the passengers comfortable for the 24 minute flight which was so much smoother than our commercial flight back to Boston! Being right up front I had a great view of coming in for landing in San Juan. Upon landing we were shuttled over the the gate and felt like VIPs. I would highly recommend Cape Air and would love to do it again!

Bar Harbor - Houston
Domestic
Absolutely horrible travel experience out of Bar Harbor, Maine. Our Cape Air flight was cancelled due to mechanical difficulties in Boston, but the ground crew in Boston took several hours to actually update it in the system, so we missed many other opportunities to get ourselves to Boston for our connecting flight to Houston. Completely lost out on our first class seats from Boston to Houston because of Cape Air's lack of care, competence, and understanding. We reached out to Cape Air customer service after the ordeal, and they really didn't care what their incompetence cost us.
