Logan Airport into Boston About This Page:

[chezp]

Be honest here guys - I keep reading that the T is the easiest and cheapest way to get from Logan Airport into Boston. Our hotel is at the Prudential Center, which would mean two changes (I think from memory) on the T - is this really easy, especially as I think we have to catch a shuttle to the Airport station from the terminal buildings? We will have a couple of heavy suitcases and I don't want to be trekking a long way with them, which is what I suspect we'll end up doing. Are we just better off getting a taxi and if so, any idea how much we can expect to pay?

Any advice on this would be great.

Our experience with the T has always been good- just have to follow those colored lines. Driving in Boston is really a nightmare and should be avoided if possible. Looks like you take the Blue line to Government Center then the green to Copley Place- just have to make sure you are going in the right direction(inbound or outbound). The only problem I see would be dragging lots of luggage!

Cheryl...check with your hotel. Depending on the hotel you're staying at they may offer a free airport shuttle.

Here's the link to the T. Depending on the day and time you arrive it could be a pain. Taxi or shuttle could be a better option. T website

Cheryl, When I went to Boston a few years back (we drove), we actually took advantage of our hotel's free shuttle to the airport to get us to public transportation into the city (as suggested by the hotel). The free hotel shuttles are really convenient. I highly recommend that, when you're travelling with so much luggage. Enjoy your trip!

Checking with your hotel about an airport shuttle is an excellent idea!! I'd have to say, with all your luggage, I'd vote for a taxi if you hotel doesn't provide a shuttle. The T is very convient for getting around, but for having just landed after a long trip you're going to have to lug your bags onto the airport shuttle to the T...ride the blue line to the green line...get off and change trains...ride the green line on towards the hotel and then depending on what stop you get out you'll be carrying the bags up the stairs and down the street a couple blocks. And depending on when your plane lands, the green line can be quite crowded. Unfortunately, I can't remember what the taxi prices are to that area, but I bet your hotel would know.

Good luck!

Most down

town Boston hotels have a courtesy car. If not --most definately take a cab. The T is always crowded and lots of steps!!

Howdy Cheryl,

Hope you enjoy your trip to our fine city.

The other thing to note about the blue line from the airport is that you have to take a shuttle from the terminals to the Blue line station so you are really end up changing three times.

I highly recommend a Taxi or even a van shuttle. Taxi's are about$20-$25. There is also shuttles that run to the downtown hotels that might be a bit less expensive.

I can't remember the names of the hotel shuttles but when you land there are information kiosk's in Logan that are there specifically for transportation.

Hope that helps. If you need any other suggestions as far as dining or anything else let me know. Happy traveling!!!

I may be a bit prejudious but I love Boston!!

Thanks for all the tips guys - I'll e-mail the Sheraton and see if they have a courtesy shuttle.
