The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method.

You can also take the Blue Line subway to Airport Station and catch a free shuttle to the terminals, or use the Logan Express bus from Back Bay.
