Logan Airport is a convenient 2 miles outside the city center, with several convenient public transportation options to the airport from downtown & suburban locations. Travelers can ride the MBTA to the Airport Station and connect to all terminals via free Logan shuttle buses. Taxis are readily available within the city & at the airport. There are approximately 40 airlines that serve Boston.

Alternative Airports
Due to congestion at Logan, two regional airports have been designated as alternatives to Logan Airport. Flying into one of these airports may be an option for travelers visiting domestically or those who wish to fly Southwest Airlines (which flies into both of these airports, but does not serve Logan). Unless one of those conditions applies, it is recommended that you just fly into Logan, as both airports are some distance from Boston and not well served by public transportation.
Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is located in Manchester, NH, approximately 50 miles north of Boston. A shuttle bus is available from the airport to the Sullivan Square T stop in Charlestown (just outside of Boston). If the shuttle is not running; however, the only ways to get to Littleton or Boston is by renting a car or a very expensive cab ride. For more information: http://www.flymanchester.com/.
T.F. Green Airport is located in Providence, RI, approximately 60 miles south of Boston. The best way to get into Boston by public transportation is to take a local bus or taxi to the train station downtown, and board a MBTA commuter train to Boston. If you do this, make sure to check the bus and train schedules in advance of your visit, as service can be very limited at times (especially on weekends and late at night). Renting a car is also an option. For more information: http://www.pvdairport.com/

anyone taking bolt bus from philly?
I highly recommend Bolt Bus and Megabus as ways of getting to Boston from NYC and Philadelphia. Bolt drops you at South Station and Mega drops you at Back Bay - Back Bay is close to the Radisson and South Station is two T rides away. If anyone wants tips on getting to/from/around Boston, drop me a note! (megan dot chapin at gmail dot com) I live here and I’m excited to go to the summit and meet you all!
I’m planning on taking the Bolt Bus from NYC. Anyone else?
I’m probably going to take the Chinatown bus. It’s $10… any takers?
