Welcome everyone to hipfig video guide
series on Boston. In this video we'll be
discussing the most convenient and
economical way to get from (Boston's)
Logan International Airport to your hotel
using buses and subway or T as it is
known here in Boston. Keep watching for tips
to make your trip to Boston easier
Boston Logan International airport is
about 15 minutes by subway or T from
downtown Boston. Logan airport has 4
passenger terminals A,B,C, and E. Each
with its own ticketing, baggage claim, and
ground transportation facilities. Once
you disembark the plane at Logan Airport
domestic passengers and passengers from
Canada who have gone through US
Immigration and Customs in Canada
through Preclearance can go directly to
baggage claim. Other international
passengers should follow the signs to
passport control and immigration
Once you're clear immigration all
international passengers need to pick up
their bags and clear customs. If Boston
is not your final destination, after
clearing customs you'll have to drop
your bags at the transfer belt for your
next flight. If Boston is your final
destination follow the signs to ground
transportation
There are many choices for
transportation into downtown Boston by
rent-a-car, private shuttles, T( subway) taxi,
or bus. The Massachusetts Bay
Transportation Authority, MBTA, offers the
Free Silver Line Bus Rapid Transit
service from the airport to downtown
Boston. The Silver Line bus, route SL1,
is the most convenient option and
your best connection to and from the
airport with pick up directly in front
of each of Logan's terminals. There are no
shuttle transfers and room to store your
luggage (on the buses). At the arrival level follow the
Bus signs. Look for the MBTA Silver
Line bus stop sign just right outside
the terminal. Take the Silver Line bus
SL1 to South Station in Boston. Take the
MBTA Silver Line bus SL1 route to
South Station in Boston. If South Station
is not near your hotel make sure to take
the free transfer to the subway often
called the T for the red line from your bus
driver before you exit (bus)
You can get on the Red T lineI for free
with the transfer but if you have to
transfer to another line you will have
to buy a T ticket. Exit at your hotel
stop or you can also take a cab from
South Station
Another option is the free Massport
shuttle to Airport Subway Station. From
Airport Station, you can catch the Blue Line (T)
inbound to downtown Boston. You
can take the free Massport shuttle
outside each terminal and look for the
airport shuttle signs. Look for the Blue
Bus
Look for the signs that say "Blue Line T"
and numbers "22, 33, or 55"
The Massport shuttle will drop you off in
front of the Blue Line T Airport Station
Once in Airport Station
purchase your tickets at the vending
ticketing machine on the side of the
entrance hall. Ticketing machines accept
cash, credit cards, or both. Purchase a
Charliecard and load an amount onto it
the Charliecard works for all forms of
MBTA public transportation in Boston
Once you purchase your ticket, tap your card
through the entrance and walk to the
Blue Line train track platform. Make sure
you are going inbound toward Bowdoin. Exit
the train at your hotel stop, or transfer
to another T-line. Another option is the
Back Bay Logan Express Bus. The Express
Bus stops at all terminals for downtown
Boston. It stops at Copley Square, St.
