 | |  |  | By Airplane: Logan International Airport | |  |  | |  |
Logan International Airport (Airport Code: BOS) is served by 28 airlines, from Aer Lingus to Virgin Atlantic. In addition to numerous flights from various locations in North America, the Carribbean, and Latin America, you can get direct flights to Logan from Ireland, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Iceland. Logan has 5 terminals, designated A through E. 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 terminal, take a shuttle bus 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. Theme: AirplaneWebsite: http://www.massport.com/logan Other Contact: US Only: 1-800-23-LOGAN

| | | | By Airplane: Getting to and from Logan Airport | | | | | |
UPDATE: The Connector Tunnel from I-90 to Logan Airport has re-opened as of November 22, 2006. Getting to Boston from Logan Airport can be trying, depending on the time of day: 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 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. Theme: AirplaneWebsite: http://www.massport.com/logan/getti_typeo.html Other Contact: mbta.com/riding_the_t/logan
