Airport Information
Boston (BOS)
Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) serves as the primary gateway for the New England region and is conveniently located just across the harbor from downtown Boston. The airport features four passenger terminals—A, B, C, and E—all connected by a frequent shuttle bus system and moving walkways, offering a wide array of local culinary favorites like Legal Sea Foods and Dunkin'. Travelers can easily reach the terminals via the MBTA Blue and Silver Lines or through the Ted Williams Tunnel, though it is wise to account for unpredictable Boston traffic when heading to the airport during peak commuting hours.
Los Angeles (LAX)
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is one of the busiest aviation hubs in the world, acting as a massive portal to the Pacific Rim and the greater Southern California region. Located along the coast in the Westchester neighborhood, it consists of nine passenger terminals arranged in a U-shape, including the impressive Tom Bradley International Terminal which hosts many global carriers. While the airport is currently undergoing significant modernization to improve its landside access with a new automated people mover system, it currently offers diverse dining options reflecting LA’s eclectic food scene and provides various ground transportation methods including the LAX FlyAway bus, ride-shares, and traditional taxis.
