Cruise terminal to BOS Logan airport

[Tee & Chilli]

Returning from a Canada and New England sailing. I have flight choices of 10:55 am or 12;25 pm.

 

Any advice? I’m traveling with someone who’ll need wheelchair assistance.

 

TIA

I’d do the 12:25. You can’t control wheelchair disembarkation time. Even if you aren’t wheeled off til 9am you’ll have plenty of time to get to the airport. Also the terminal can be crowded and wait for taxi or Uber can be long.  No need for extra stress to make a 10:55 flight.

We have 12:25 booked however I was thinking of getting home 2 hours sooner.

You’re correct by not stressing.Thank you

A lot of people will tell you to take the later flight. But I’m from the Boston area and I’d take the 10:55 in a heartbeat. The airport is close to the cruise terminal and even with morning traffic it shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes. Be one of the first to debark the ship and go directly to the taxi line. Easy. And you will get home earlier too!

I would agree with you if their traveling companion did not need wheel chair assistance. Wheel chairs cannot self disembark.  When I’ve traveled with my mom who uses wheel chair assistance we had little control over disembarking. We went when a chair and pusher was available. Doing the 12:25 they have plenty of time and less stress.

Thanks. I didn’t know that wheel chairs couldn’t self-disembark. I agree that you may be safer with the later flight.

Appreciate the feedback in this thread although I'm not the OP. We're cruising for the first time in years and the first time ever out of Boston in October and were wanting to book flights and had options before noon but was not sure we could make it or not. Sounds like an 11:30am departure should be good to go for us.
