Are you headed out of town this holiday season? If you are in downtown Boston, and need to get to Logan Airport, you should consider taking the T (MBTA Subway). The T provides an inexpensive, and relatively efficient, means to get to Logan.
There are several ways to get to Logan Airport from downtown via the T, we’ll cover one of those routes today: the Blue Line. From all points downtown, head to the outbound Blue Line. You’ll take the Blue Line towards Wonderland underneath Boston Harbor, past East Boston’s Maverick, and exit at the conveniently named ‘Airport’. Once you exit the T, simply follow the signs for the free ‘Airport Shuttle’. You’ll exit the T station and head right towards some large poles next to the adjacent roadway. On those poles, facing the roadway are signs stating which airlines are served by which shuttles. Simply hop on the shuttle that matches your airline/terminal (no ticket or transfer card needed), and you’ll be at Logan in less than 5 minutes.
A ride on the T will cost you only $1.70 if you have a Charlie Card (you can purchase a Charlie Card with a stored value online, and then have it shipped to your home at no cost). From many points in the core of downtown that only require one transfer onto the Blue Line, plan for the trip to take roughly 45 – 50 minutes. In comparison, a taxi ride from downtown Boston to Logan can cost anywhere from $20 – $30, and take you anywhere from 15 – 25 minutes.
