Boston Logan is a mid-size, four-terminal airport that works fine for connections within the same terminal but gets trickier when a shuttle bus ride to a different terminal is required. It is not a legacy hub for the big three US carriers, but JetBlue runs a genuine hub operation here with a large same-terminal network in Terminal C that eases many domestic connections. Logan has no inter-terminal train; passengers rely on the free Massport shuttle bus (routes 11/22/33) that loops the terminals roughly every 10-12 minutes, or on outdoor walkways connecting B and C pre-security. International arrivals at Terminal E must clear US Customs and Border Protection, and unlike some larger hubs, Logan does not offer a sterile connector back into the secure side, so almost all international-to-domestic connectors must re-clear TSA security after collecting bags and re-checking them.

Still below Logan's realistic minimum even for a gate-to-gate connection in the same terminal. See full 30 min guide →
