Lufthansa is the most frequent connecting carrier via Frankfurt or Munich, with up to 13 daily one-stop patterns via Frankfurt alone. Delta connects via Amsterdam or New York (JFK/LGA) with up to 7 daily patterns, while British Airways via London, Air France via Paris, and Aer Lingus via Dublin each offer 3–6 daily connections. Other one-stop options include KLM via Amsterdam, SWISS via Zurich, and TAP Air Portugal via Lisbon.",

We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.",

Frankfurt offers efficient connections as a major Lufthansa hub with many onward flights. Amsterdam Schiphol provides smooth transfers and a wide network via KLM. London Heathrow has frequent services and broad connections, though you may need to change terminals.

        "answer": "From downtown Boston, the MBTA Silver Line SL1 bus runs directly from South Station to every Logan terminal and is the most popular and affordable option, with the ride from the airport back to downtown being free. The Blue Line subway also connects downtown to the airport via a free shuttle from Airport Station, while Logan Express buses serve Back Bay and other neighborhoods. Ride-share services like Uber and Lyft, as well as taxis, offer door-to-door convenience at a higher cost, and driving your own car means paying for parking in the Central Garage, Economy Lot, or terminal garages.",
