Fly Tailwind, Boston

Imagine spending only 10 minutes to check into a flight, go through screening, and board the plane. At Tailwind, this fantasy is reality. The specialty airline's seaplanes circumvent the hassles of crowded airports, as they can take off and land atop water. The charter planes also descend upon private runways in Boston and Washington DC, avoiding commercial runways overflowing with planes and birds who want to show off.
