Boston airport access after cruise.

How far is BOS airport from cruise dock? Uber, cab, shuttle? How to get there for flight home?  Thanks for your help.

A quick look at Google Maps, or on the East Coast Departures board, where this is discussed frequently, shows it to be about 4 miles and 10 or so minutes.

 

On the East Coast Departures board there are many discussions about how poor the taxi system is at the Port, including our experience, which was an hour plus line for a taxi. Many suggest walking a couple blocks away to summon an Uber. Or just taking the ship's transfers.

In mid July I was able to get an Uber quickly (I might have ordered the day before; I can't remember) and was to the airport in about 15 minutes. It was a Saturday, which probably helped.

We took a taxi.  It was easy. Traffic was light that day… might have been Saturday or Sunday.  Traffic can be awful per my son who travels there frequently-  so we booked a 1:30 flight to be on safe side.

You can also walk to the MBTA Silver Line, about 10 minutes, and take the bus (it goes in a dedicated lane) to the airport and get there in about 30 minutes for about $5 a couple

There is also a water taxi that comes every hour from Rowes Wharf to do airport transfers, but you must book ahead.  You can find it by googling rowes wharf water taxi or searching water taxi on the east coast forum.  We loved the experience earlier this year!
