Land Transportation

Boston Logan International Airport was named the “Easiest Airport to Reach” in an article published on aviation.com in 2007 because it offers so many options for departures and arrivals. These options include cars, taxis, MBTA Blue and Silver lines, regional bus services, shared minivans, ferries, limousines, and services offered by US Airports and Logan Express. Logan is located 3 miles (4.8 km) northeast of downtown Boston, a very short distance compared to airports in other cities.

Roads and Toll Highways

The airport can be reached from the Massachusetts Turnpike (Interstate 90) Exit 26, near the eastern terminus, which provides access to the west via the Ted Williams Tunnel. I-90 bypass east of Exit 26, Route 1A, to Lynn and New Hampshire. From the south, passengers can connect east to the Masspike via Interstate 93, the Ted Williams Tunnel, and the airport via Exit 26.

It is also very common to use a limousine at the airport. Limousine drivers are not allowed to leave their vehicles while dropping off or picking up passengers, although this varies depending on the terminal.

Terminal A is located on the arrivals floor, outside the baggage claim area, in a small parking lot across the road. For Terminal B, limousine drivers wait for their passengers in the parking garage on the lower level of Terminal B. In Terminal C, passenger reception is located on the departure floor, on the second and third island from the building. In Terminal E, passenger reception is located in the parking lot at the corner of the arrivals floor. For public safety, there is a $500 fine for each call to a customer by any transportation company anywhere on airport property.

Taxis are coordinated by Massport at each terminal. According to Massport regulations, taxis are prohibited from picking up passengers outside the designated pick-up areas in Terminals A, C and E. On both sides of Terminal B, shuttle minivan shuttles, limousines and taxis are available downstairs in Terminal B's parking garage. Signs inside Terminal B direct passengers according to the type of vehicle they will board. There is a taxi pool next to the Güney Cargo complex, where nearly 400 taxis are waiting, and taxis are called in groups of 5 or 10 after waiting for about 90 minutes or more.

Taximeter fares between Logan airport and hotels vary between 23 and 35 dollars. A $2.25 airport fee applies to all taxis leaving Logan, which is entered on the taxi meter by the driver. For taxis leaving the airport via Sumner Tunnel or Ted Williams Tunnel, the Harbor Tunnel Highway fee is also added to the taxi meter. The total fee/toll ($7.5) is displayed on the right side of the taxi meter and is automatically added to the meter fare (shown on the left of the taxi meter) when the taxi reaches the passenger's destination and stops.
