Two of America’s more sought-after coastal destinations – Nantucket and Palm Beach – now more accessible, as White Elephant Resorts has launched an exclusive partnership with premium shared-charter service provider, Slate Aviation.
Available through October 2025, guests of White Elephant properties in Nantucket and Palm Beach will receive $250 off one-way fares, plus a complimentary six-month membership for four ($395 value) that gives the guest access to discounted member only fares on Slate Aviation’s semi-private flights.
Slate’s flights depart from private terminals at Palm Beach International Airport, Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport and Westchester (New York) County Airport (some with new premium lounges), allowing travelers to bypass traditional TSA lines.

Each CRJ-200 aircraft features only 18 oversized seats – each business class, with nearly 50 inches of legroom, along with complimentary high-speed WiFi and in-flight catering by James Beard-nominated Palm Beach restaurant Buccan (available on the Palm Beach route).
As part of the partnership, Slate clients will also receive 15 percent off room rates at White Elephant Resort’s four Nantucket properties: White Elephant Nantucket, The Wauwinet, Jared Coffin House, and the Cottages & Lofts at the Boat Basin, as well as at White Elephant Palm Beach.
