About

Arriving at Boston Logan International Airport

Boston Logan sits just across the harbor from downtown, making it one of the closest major US airports to its city center. That proximity is deceptive — the Sumner and Ted Williams tunnels create bottlenecks that can turn a 3-mile drive into a 45-minute ordeal.

JetBlue and Delta are the dominant carriers. International flights arrive at Terminal E, while domestic traffic splits across Terminals A, B, and C. The free shuttle bus connects all terminals.

A SkyText landing alert is particularly useful at Logan because the drive from Back Bay or Cambridge is short but unpredictable.

Pickup tip

Logan is close to downtown but the Ted Williams Tunnel backs up. Wait for a landing text before leaving the city.
