Pro Tips for BOS Travelers
- The Silver Line (SL1) from Logan is free — take it every time unless you have excessive luggage.
- The water taxi from Logan Dock to downtown is one of the most pleasant urban transit options in the US (check seasonal hours).
- Logan's proximity to Downtown means rideshares are fast, but the tunnel (Sumner and Callahan) can back up during rush hour.
- Terminal E is the most international-feeling terminal and has consistently better food options than the domestic terminals.
- Logan is subject to nor'easter closures January–March; check the forecast before any winter travel.
- Overnight parking in the Central Garage is expensive ($40+); use off-site lots in East Boston for long trips.
- JetBlue's Mint business class departs from Terminal C (domestic) or E (international) — confirm before arriving.
