 | Boston Flights and Airline Tips | 1 - 10 of 26 |  |
By plane:
Logan International Airport (Airport Code is BOS). Direct flights from all major points in the U.S. For international travelers, this is closer to Europe so you should be able to find direct flights to BOS from major European cities like Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Munich, Dublin, London, Paris, Milan, Zurich, Reykjavik, to name a few. From Asia and other continents: Tough! Go through another U.S. point of entry to connect to Logan. No other way around it! The airport offers shuttle buses from all terminals to subway, parking lot, and even to the water taxi. Theme: Airplane

 No, you can't swim to the
airport... by travelfrosch
TAXIS are probably the easiest option, but quite expensive. Massport charges the cab driver (hence, it will cost you) $6.25 just to be allowed to pick up a passenger at the airport. One possibility to avoid the ludicrous airport fees is to take the Silver Line (see below) to South Station and take a taxi from there.
SUBWAY: The MBTA has two main options to get to Downtown Boston from the airport. The "Silver Line," really a bus as opposed to a subway train, stops at all terminals and takes you through the Ted Williams Tunnel to South Station via the Seaport World Trade Center. Eventually it will have its own lane, but right now, it drives on the main highway and contends with city traffic. Cost is $2, or $1.70 with a pre-paid "Charlie Card." You can also take a shuttle bus to the Blue Line's Airport station. From there, you can take a train downtown. The shuttle bus is free; the train costs $2 for a paper ticket, or $1.70 if you have a Charlie Card.
WATER SHUTTLE: The MBTA's Harbor Express will get you from the Airport to Long Wharf. Fare is $6. Not a great value, but scenic. Take Shuttle Bus 66 from the terminals to the dock.
RENTAL CARS are an option, but not a very good one. Shuttle buses will take you to the various companies. But cars are a useless headache in the city itself.

 Logan Airport by travelfrosch
Logan has 4 terminals, designated A, B, C, and E (don't ask what happened to Terminal D...). International flights arrive in Terminal E. If you have the misfortune of making a connection at Logan, pray that your connection departs from the same terminal. If not, you'll likely have to exit the secure area, take a shuttle bus or walkway to your connecting terminal, GO BACK THROUGH SECURITY, and proceed to your gate. Allow for extra time accordingly if connecting at Logan. It should be noted that Massport plans to construct passageways allowing you to go from terminal to terminal without having to re-enter security. It was supposed to be finished in 2005. Don't hold your breath.

Logan was not as bad as I had heard it was. Someone I know who avoids Logan at all costs flies into Providence, Rhode Island and rents a car to get to Boston--says it's faster than the trip from Logan. However, I don't know why ANYONE would want a car in Boston. There must be something else going on in Providence that I don't know about. LOL Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

4 hours drive from New York by car. Scenic View.
Logan airport is the main hub for all airlines.
There are so many constuction getting into the city. Be careful, have a good map amd watch for signs and crazy drivers. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

I took the plane to Logan but I guess there is more ways of geting there.
The T takes you to most places and it seems to work most of the time (maybe I was lucky). It is a bad place to drive around in. Not only beacause of the constant building sights, not including the Big Dig, but also beacause the bostonian drivers seems to have a different approach to driving than the rest of the world (western at least).

AVOID DRIVING if possible--traffic is a b*tch! Take the T--it's basically their subway and is very reasonable priced and probably the best way to get from place to place. That or walk--we always seemed to walk everywhere. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane
