Boat from Logan Airport to Long Wharf

Is the location of the boats going to Logan airport to Long Wharf near the American Airlines terminal? Would it be better to just take a cab? Thanks. Glenn

Boat from Logan Airport to Long Wharf

The ferry sounds awesome ... but I have to admit I%26#39;ve never taken it.

First, in terms of location, it%26#39;s not walking distance from any terminal. Massport/MBTA provides a courtesy shuttle from all terminals to the dock. At least it%26#39;s free and probably convenient.

Second, in terms of trade-offs to taking a cab, it depends on where you%26#39;re going in the city:

If your final destination is within a short striking distance from Long Wharf, it seems like a fun and adventurous (perhaps cheaper!?) trip into the city. Certainly more pleasant than racing through underwater tunnels, no?

If you%26#39;re headed elsewhere in the city, I assume you%26#39;d need a taxi anyway. Taxis to most parts of the city are cheap enough that, unless you want the adventure, you may save a bit of logistical complexity by just getting in a cab at the airport.

BTW, cabs to South End/Back Bay part of Boston are probably $20-ish bucks (maybe $25 ... it%26#39;s been two years since I moved to the %26#39;burbs). Hope that gives you a ballpark of what to expect.

Good luck and have a great visit to Boston!
