Local Tips
- The skywalk is the key to this airport — enclosed, climate-controlled, with moving walkways, and it puts you at the rail station and the rental cars without stepping outside.
- PVD is a genuine alternative to Boston Logan: the commuter rail reaches South Station in roughly ninety minutes, often with less hassle than flying into Boston.
- Watch the RIPTA split — routes 1, 20 and 66 at the terminal roadway, route 14 at the InterLink. They're different places.
- Peter Pan coaches run to Cape Cod, including Woods Hole for the Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket ferries.
- Rental cars are at the InterLink too, so the same skywalk covers rail and cars.
Tarmyq local tip
Take the skywalk. It's five indoor minutes to the rail station and the rental cars, and the commuter rail turns PVD into a practical way into Providence or even Boston without touching a highway.
