How delays work at BOS

A ground stop holds flights bound for BOS at their origin airports. A ground delay program spaces arrivals out so the airport is not overloaded. Departure and arrival delay messages describe the average wait the FAA expects. None of these tell you whether your own flight is late, so always check your airline as well.

Local tips

  • The free SL1 Silver Line is the cheapest way to South Station. It runs from every terminal.
  • Park at Central Parking or the Terminal B Garage if you want to walk inside the airport. Economy is cheaper, but the shuttle adds time.
  • If you are connecting to or from Terminal E, check the terminal transfer rules with your airline and leave extra time.
  • Book Massport's $29 advance reservation early, because the limited spaces can sell out before peak travel times.
  • Route 11 serves all terminals from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., so it is the easiest free shuttle to check first.
  • Massport asks that all vehicles park head-in at its garages, so follow the signs from the inbound roadway.
