Logan is tight, weather-sensitive, and unforgiving in winter — but manageable if you know it.

→Terminal A and B are used by most domestic carriers; Terminal E handles international. All are connected, but budget 10 minutes to walk between them.
→Winter nor'easters can ground the airport entirely — if you're flying November through March, consider the earliest available departure.
→Summer morning fog off the harbor is a real delay driver; even clear days can see 30–60 minute holds at 6–8 AM.
→The Silver Line SL1 bus from South Station to the airport is free outbound and runs every 10–15 minutes — faster than a cab in traffic.

Logan's airspace is genuinely tight — it's one of the few major airports where approaches are affected by the surrounding coastline and harbor. Both summer fog and winter storms hit harder here than at most East Coast hubs.
