The airports are about 1,720 miles apart.", "methodology": "Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). 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. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Boston?", "answer": "Boston Logan offers several ground transport options: the MBTA Blue Line and Silver Line provide affordable, frequent mass transit to downtown; taxis and ride shares like Uber and Lyft are readily available curbside; the Logan Express bus serves suburban park-and-ride lots; and car rentals are on-site at the Rental Car Center. The Silver Line SL1 is the most-used public transit link, offering a free transfer to the Red Line at South Station and reaching downtown in about 20–30 minutes without traffic. For speed, ride shares and taxis are fastest outside peak hours, while the Blue Line is quicker during heavy congestion.", "toolsUsed": [], "references": [ { "url": "https://massport.com/logan-airport", "title": "Boston Logan International Airport | Massport", "favicon": "https://massport.com/themes/custom/massport/favicon.ico", "time_published": "2026-05-18T12:00:00Z" }, { "url": "http://www.massport.com/logan-airport/to-from-logan/", "title": "How to Get to Logan Airport | Massport", "time_published": "2026-04-07T00:00:00Z" }, { "url": "https://faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/ntap_aug_18/NE10001.html", "title": "Massachusetts.

For each day of the year we take a representative round-trip fare, a blend of the 25th-percentile and average ticket price over the route's bookings, and smooth the series into a seasonal curve; the half-month low and high and the monthly figures quoted here are averages of that curve.

Booking about 30 days ahead yields the cheapest price at $269, while waiting until the last week pushes fares above $300 and booking more than 5 months out can cost over $375. During summer or holiday periods, demand typically rises, so aiming for the earlier end of that window or slightly further out is wise to lock in lower fares.", "methodology": "Booking-window guidance comes from the same monthly in-house analysis of Priceline's own air booking-summary archive. We aggregate the route's bookings by how many days before departure they were made, from about 180 days out to the day of travel, smooth the curve, and highlight the stretch of lead times with the lowest average fare.
