Boston Logan: 3 Miles from Downtown — Closer Than Any NYC Airport
Boston Logan is only 3 miles from downtown Boston — significantly closer to the city center than JFK (15+ miles), LGA (8 miles), or EWR (16 miles). The Ted Williams Tunnel makes for a fast, direct connection to I-90 and downtown. Despite this, Logan has notoriously congested access roads — the on-airport roadways and Central Artery ramps can back up significantly during rush hour (7–9 AM and 4–7 PM).

How do I get from Logan to downtown Boston?
The fastest option from Logan to downtown Boston is black car service (15–25 min via Ted Williams Tunnel, meets you at baggage claim). The Silver Line SL1 bus is free from the airport and takes about 20 minutes to South Station, where you can connect to the Red Line. Taxis are available at the Ground Level of each terminal. The trip is only 3 miles, but congestion on airport roads and the tunnels can extend drive times during rush hour.
Is there a water taxi from Logan to downtown?
Yes — Boston Water Taxi operates a boat service from the Logan Water Shuttle dock (near Terminal A) to Rowes Wharf (downtown) and Quincy Market/Long Wharf. The trip takes about 12 minutes and costs $30/person one-way. It runs April through October, seasonally. It's a unique and often faster option when road traffic is heavy.
Is there parking at Boston Logan?
Yes — Logan has Central Parking and Terminal Garages at each terminal. Daily rates are $35–$130+ for Terminal Garages (short-term) and $22–$28 for Economy Lots. The Central Parking Garage is connected to Terminals A and B via walkway. For longer trips, an off-airport park-and-fly lot is cheaper — expect $12–$18/day.
How congested is Logan airport?
Boston Logan is consistently ranked among the most congested US airports for on-time departures, partly due to its single main runway configuration and New England weather (fog, ice, snow). Summer thunderstorm season and winter nor'easters can cause cascading delays across the network. Pre-arranged black car service is recommended for time-sensitive early morning or evening flights.
Does Logan have TSA PreCheck and Global Entry?
Yes — TSA PreCheck lanes are available at all four Boston Logan terminals. Global Entry enrollment centers are at the CBP facility in Terminal E. CLEAR is also available at Logan in all terminals. If you have an international arrival, Global Entry expedites customs — you use the Global Entry kiosk and typically bypass the standard CBP line.
