Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Boston is served by 6 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), 4 km (2 mi) from the centre, whose 10,083-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport (PVD, 77 km), Laurence G Hanscom Field (BED, 23 km), Worcester Regional Airport (ORH, 68 km), Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT, 71 km), New Bedford Regional Airport (EWB, 76 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Boston Logan International Airport | BOS | 4 km (2 mi) | 10,083 ft | 20 ft |
| Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport | PVD | 77 km (48 mi) | 8,700 ft | 55 ft |
| Laurence G Hanscom Field (regional) | BED | 23 km (14 mi) | 7,011 ft | 133 ft |

| New Bedford Regional Airport (regional) | EWB | 76 km (47 mi) | 5,400 ft | 80 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,083 ft, BOS can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 20 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
