By Airplane: Logan Airport -- my entrance to Boston!

  • Logan is a busy airport but it's rather small nonetheless (at least compared to NYC, DFW or LAX airports)... or so it seemed to me when I arrived there. What I loved the most was its location next to the sea and close to the city: you could see the planes taking off and landing from the Inner Harbor area. The facilities are not too large, as I said, but the airport is conveniently located close to a "T" (subway) station which will take you anywhere in town. There are free shuttles that take you from the different airport terminals to the T station every 10 minutes or so. I arrived here after a stop-over in Dallas; there are many airlines arriving into Logan but very few direct flights from Mexico -- you have to stop somewhere else in most cases before arriving in Boston.

  • Not known for anything good, Logan has road construction, terminal construction, very expensive parking, and no easy public transport access from Boston. Not to mention flight delays. But what airport doesn't have most of those things? We have grown to accept Logan as a part of life in Boston. It may not be good, but it isn't always bad either. Plus, the near constanct construction has starting to come to a conclusion and the results are shaping up well. One of our favorite things about Logan is landing on a trans-Atlantic flight. It looks like the plane is going to touch down on the water, until the runway appears without a moment to spare!

  • Take a plane to Boston...the airport has an MBTA station as well as cabs are available. DO NOT RENT A CAR TO GET TO THE CITY.

    The "Big Dig" has made it much easier to deal with the airport in Boston. Travelling from the south up Rte I 93 you find the signs to the airport and travel under water through the new tunnel for quite a distance...but then you are in the airport property when you come out. Watch the signs carefully for various terminals and their parking areas. Our frined was arriving on United Airlines so we parked, walked into the structure which has a cross over bridge directly into the terminal... and had a very pleasant experience while getting to where we needed to be. The new crossover bridge is bright and attractive, the elevator structure has recordings of birds playing while you wait in a sunny glass enclosure. Very nice! Once in the terminal it was easy to find ticket counters, gates, restaurants (altho some were under construction) and baggage claim, etc. I thought it was all made quite simple in the renovated terminal. We found a quiet place with rocking chairs while waiting for the flight to arrive. We had lunch in Legal Seafoods....delicious chowder!

    The airport is very modern and clean, and is really the nicest airport I have seen in the US, and one of the best anywhere. The view from here is about as good as you will get to see.

  • Blue Line Airport Station - Boston
    Blue Line Airport Station
    by Galahad
    Send Photo to a Friend
    When we arrived at Logan we caught the Shuttle Bus to the Airport Station on the Blue Line of the subway or The T. The shuttle takes about 5 minutes. The T takes about 9 minutes to get from the Airport Station to the Government Centre in downtown Boston. The station has been rebuilt and was opened on 3rd June 2004. The photo was taken only 4 months before I went to Boston and is from the Wikipedia Internet site. When we got to the Airport Station we found the staff very helpful to people like us who are total strangers to the T, helping us get our ticket from the automatic machines.

  • Long distance travelers should fly. Boston 'Logan' airport is very easy to get in and out by plane. Most of the larger airlines have many flights daily. If you are planning to stay inside the Boston city area, then the 'T' (Subway) is the best means to get around. It stops within a block of most of the tourist areas and there prices are very reasonable. $0.84 for oneway journey no matter what the distance. The Bus is also suitable to use and it gets you see things. There are some bus-tours with guides, but I did not try them. You can also purchase a week card. Travel outside the city area, then I recommend you use the a rental car.

  • Take a direct plane, or fly to Kennedy airport New York and rent a car. Drive along the coast. Many fine places on your way. Newport is burned into memory cause the night jazz club me me remember for untold reasons.

  • Logan International Airport (BOS) is the principal means of access to the city, with non-stop/direct flights from all major cities in America and the principal ones in Europe. Note; Logan is a mere 3 miles outside downtown, like San Diego's airport, so you'd better get used to the experence of coming up close and personal with the Boston skyline while taking off and landing. Put one foot in front of the other. Yes, Beantown is that easy to negotiate. And if your feet get tired, there's always the MBTA.
