Airport Transfer from Boston Logan Airport to Downtown Boston
Many U.S. and international carriers serve Boston Logan International
Airport. Logan is easily accessible by public transportation, water
shuttle, taxi and limousine services. Most international flights arrive
at terminal E (although some international flights depart from other
terminals) and multilingual assistance is available at information desk
just outside the customs area in terminal E.
By Taxi - Downtown Boston is located just three miles from
Boston Logan Airport so taking a taxi is not as expensive as other
major US gateways where o/w airport transfers by cab can cost over
$100. Typically, and not during rush hour, the journey from Logan
to downtown Boston by cab takes approximately 20mins and can cost
approximately $25-$30 per fare. The taxi rank can be found outside
of Terminal E (international arrivals) at the far left side of the
terminal. Minivans are often available. If arriving between 5PM -
7PM, times and fares may fluctuate due to traffic.
By the 'T' - The 'T' is Boston's train/subway system and is run
by the MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Tel: (617) 722-3200 www.mbta.com). The
stations can be identified by a black "T" on a white circular sign. Tokens
can be bought at booths at each "T" station. Cost: $1.00. The system is
easy to navigate and links major downtown and outlaying areas plus providing
service from Boston's Logan Airport to the city center.
If you are traveling lightly, taking the 'T' from the airport to downtown
Boston is relatively straightforward. Exit Terminal E (international
arrivals hall) and immediately look for the free shuttle bus marked 'MASSPORT'
for the T/Subway. It will take just a few minutes to reach the subway station
and you then pay at the ticket office. The fare is $2.00 per person, you then
board the train/subway directly into the center of the city.
(The 'T' Pass)
The "Boston Passport" entitles you to 1 or 7 days of unlimited "T" travel on the
four color-coded subway lines and all local bus service. You also receive discounts
at area attractions and restaurants. You can purchase the "Boston Passport" at
Logan Airport (terminal E), many MBTA subway stations and hotels in Greater Boston
and the Visitors Information Booth on Boston Common. Cost for adults: 1-day, $9.00
or 7-day, $35.00.
By Water Shuttle or Water Taxi -
Traveling to and from Logan Airport by water shuttle or water taxi is convenient
and enjoyable. You can enjoy great views of Boston Harbor and the city from enclosed
heated and air-conditioned waiting areas. The MASSPORT Bus (Route 66) provides free
shuttle service between the Logan dock and all Airport terminals (journey time from
the terminals to the dock is approximately 15-20mins with a travel time of just 7
minutes from the dock to Boston's Long Wharf).
There are a couple of options for water travel including the MBTA Harbor Express
which is a daily, year-round scheduled service between Quincy and Hull on the
South Shore, Logan Airport, and Long Wharf in downtown Boston - www.mbta.com or

in Boston Harbor. The standard adult fare is $10.00 per passenger one-way
to/from Logan and $17.00 per passenger round

England and New York). Adult fare is $1.25, and the trip takes approximately
twenty minutes.
