Logan International Airport
800-235-6426, massport.com
On a spit of reclaimed land east of Boston, the airport is three miles from downtown. Its four terminals are connected by walkways and shuttle buses.
The subway (known as the T) is the quickest and cheapest route to and from the airport. The Airport T station is on the Blue Line, which runs to State or Gov’t Center, a trip that takes about 15 minutes. T maps are available from information booths in the terminals.
The taxi rank is outside the airport’s baggage reclaim area. The fare to downtown Boston is around $20-$25 ($35-$40 to Cambridge), though an extra $5 or so may be tacked on to cover toll fees. For a list of reputable taxi firms, see p251. If you want to travel in style, make a booking with Carey Limousine (617-623-8700) or Commonwealth Limousine Worldwide (617-787-5575).
The most pleasant way of getting to and from the airport is by boat. Rowes Wharf Water Transport (617-406-8584,) runs services between Rowes Wharf and Logan’s Water Transportation Terminal; tickets are $10 one way. Harbor Express (617-222-6999) and City Water Taxi (617-422-0392) run similar services.
