Travel & Local Transportation
Boston Logan International Airport is Boston’s main airport. Logan International is located in East Boston and stands on a peninsula facing the city. It is the main airport for international flights into New England, handling over 60 airlines. Virtually all international visitors will come through Logan Airport, the sixth busiest in America, with connections to and from the Pacific Rim, Europe and Latin America. The airport has 103 gate positions divided among Terminals A, B, C, and E. All terminals are connected by pre-security shuttle buses, and Terminals A, B and E via moving walkways, further connecting the terminals to a central parking garage.
