Boston’s major airport, Logan International Airport,
(1(800) 23-LOGAN) carries most domestic and international
flights. Located in East Boston, Logan airport is accessible by
subway, bus, taxi, and car. If you’re driving, be prepared to
pay steep parking fees—about $4.00 an hour and up to $18.00 a
day.
Logan Airport handles about 26 million passengers a year, but
it is fairly easy to navigate. The cheapest way to get
from Logan is by using the free shuttle buses to the subway
station, known as the MBTA, or the "T". Follow the
signs to the buses and taxis, and the Logan shuttle will whisk
you to the MBTA Blue Line, as well as the Water Transportation
Terminal and Satellite Parking. The shuttle operates seven days
per week, from 4 am to 1 am. All shuttle buses are wheelchair
lift equipped, and allow plenty of room for your luggage. There
are also MBTA buses to take you to local areas in and
around Boston. Most bus fares are just .60 cents.
Taxis are ready and waiting for you along with the buses
and shuttles. A taxi ride from Logan to downtown Boston will
cost you about $20.00, and depending on the time of day and
traffic conditions, a taxi ride will be anywhere from 15 minutes
to 40 minutes long.
Be Prepared
Like most airports, Logan will ask for photo identification
when you board, so have your license or passports ready along
with your boarding pass. Some basic travel tips: don’t leave
your luggage unattended; call ahead to make sure the flight is
on time; arrive at the airport about an hour in advance; and,
well, you know the drill.
