Starting Sept. 13 Tailwind Air says total travel time is cut by “up to 60 percent” compared to commercial airport and Amtrak options, with the check-in cutoff 10 minutes before departure.

Flights will operate twice daily from September 13, and fares start from $395 one way: more than even the most expensive Acela tickets, though there’s a 2-for-1 launch offer.

The flights are on an eight-seater Cessna Grand Caravan, and will operate from Manhattan’s Skyport Marina at East 23rd Street and land at College Park Airport (on land) in Maryland. Flight time is 80 minutes.
