Public buses do not directly serve the new airport, and the former airport rail shuttle ceased operation in 2020. Car rentals are available but less common for point-to-point transfers.

The most expensive months are December, June, and July, where average fares climb to roughly $1,693 to $1,793.", "methodology": "This 'good deal' estimate shows a representative best price for each departure date across roughly a 12-month window (about 3 months back and 9 months forward). It is built from real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, accumulated into a price history for each departure date. Rather than weighting all of that history equally, we apply exponential time decay so recent prices dominate — a price seen yesterday counts almost in full, one from about a month ago roughly a third, and prices from a few months back very little — giving a figure that tracks today's market instead of a stale long-run average. Clear price outliers are removed before any calculation, departure dates with no observations are filled in from nearby dates, and the resulting curve is lightly smoothed so it reads as a clean seasonal trend rather than day-to-day noise.", "toolsUsed": ["seasonal_prices"]}, "q5": {"question": "How far in advance should I book tickets from Boston to Phnom Penh?", "answer": "For flights from Boston to Phnom Penh, the best time to book is roughly 10 to 13 weeks before departure, when average fares drop to around $1,438. Booking too close to departure (within a few days) can push prices above $1,800, while the absolute lowest fare observed was about $1,430 at 75 days out. During peak summer or holiday periods, demand likely shifts the optimal window earlier — aiming for 12–16 weeks ahead is a safer bet to avoid steeper last‑minute premiums.", "methodology": "This booking-window guidance is built from the same real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, re-grouped by how many days before departure each price was seen (from the departure day out to about 180 days ahead) across the route's price history. At each booking lead time we report the 25th-percentile price — the cheaper end of what travelers were quoted, rather than the rock-bottom minimum (which can be a fluke) or the average (which is pulled up by expensive last-minute fares). The buy-or-wait advice then applies a risk premium that grows as departure approaches, since seat availability shrinks and prices become less predictable; using that adjusted curve we flag windows where waiting is likely to save a meaningful amount (at least $20 or 5%) versus windows where booking now is the better call. Isolated single-day recommendations are filtered out, so the advice only reflects a window that holds for several days in a row.", "toolsUsed": ["booking_timing"]}, "q8": {"question": "If I need a connection, what are common layover cities between Boston and Phnom Penh?", "answer": "Common layover cities between Boston and Phnom Penh include Seoul, Tokyo, and Doha.

Logan Express buses run from Back Bay and suburban locations, while taxis, ride‑share apps like Uber and Lyft, and private cars all have direct terminal drop‑offs. The Silver Line is often the most popular and cost‑effective choice from downtown, and driving yourself means using airport parking garages or remote lots.", "toolsUsed": ["article_lookup"], "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.
