By Airplane: Get’in There
  • Tip Rating:
  • 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.

    By Airplane: Logan Airport
  • Tip Rating:
  • Boston's Logan Airport is the largest & busiest airports in the New England. If you're headed to the city of Boston by air, Logan is your best option. It's located very conveniently, less than 2 miles from downtown, across the harbor from the city. It's a very easy 10-20min ride by public transportation. There're several tunnels that connect the island that Logan Airport is on to the city proper. You can get to Boston from the airport by car, taxi, bus, or subway.

    By Airplane: Alternate Airport: Providence, RI / Bus to Boston
  • Tip Rating:
  • I discovered how unwise it is to fly standby to Boston the weekend after Presidents' Day (usually the 3rd week in Feb). Many schools in New England have that week off, so it is a popular family vacation week. Anyway, that plus a blizzard earlier in the week meant there were a lot more people wanting to go to Boston's Logan airport than there were seats available. If you ever find yourself in this situation, see if you can fly into Providence, RI instead. TF Green airport is becoming a viable alternative to Logan. And the Bonanza bus runs from TF Green to Boston just about every hour for $19 one-way. See the website for schedule. They also go to other Massachusetts and New England destinations. The bus ride from TF Green to Boston's South Station takes about an hour and a half.

  • Tip Rating:
  • By air to Logan Airport. 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

    By Airplane: I took the plane to Logan but...
  • Tip Rating:
  • 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).

    By Airplane: Fly into Boston Logan...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Fly into Boston Logan International Airport, but be prepared for some traffic once you arrive! 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.

    By Airplane: I flew via Air Canada from...
  • Tip Rating:
  • I flew via Air Canada from Vancouver to Ottawa which took about 4 hours. I then switched planes (to the smaller one you see in the photo) all the way to Boston's Logan Airport. The flight from Ottawa to Boston took about an hour. If you're further away than a day's drive from Boston, I'd highly suggest flying into the city. Photo: Moments after touching down in Boston, here I am posing outside of the plane that brought me there. Photo taken by Brent on May 30, 2002.
