Boston: Getting There
AIR:
Boston’s Logan Airport is served by almost all domestic and international
airlines. However, one of our discount favorites Southwest does not. When
comparing fares, check Southwest by flying in to Manchester, NH or Providence,
RI and also adding a shuttle fee for getting into Boston. It is still sometimes cheaper
to do it this way but adds 90 minutes to an hour on to your trip.

Other tricks in finding a good airfares:
TRAIN:
Amtrak serves all 3 Boston stations (North, South and Back Bay). Weespecially like traveling to Boston on the train because the MBTA (subway)
connects to all 3 rail stations as well. It’s quite convenient to arrive in the city center
and forgo all of the traffic and congestion on the roadways.
BUS:
There are several bus companies that serve Boston, including Greyhound, Peter
Pan and the Fung Wah Bus (from NYC only, but for $15 plus 5% service fee!).
The bus station is right next to the South Rail station and is also easy to connect to
the subway.
