Choose the stop that matches your terminal and onward journey. Logan Airport Terminal A is relevant for departures and arrivals through Terminal A, while Terminal B Stop 2 is useful for terminal transfers, shuttle connections, and some parking-related journeys. Confirm the terminal, stop position, and transfer instructions before travelling, since airport walking times can affect your schedule.

Allow more time than the journey itself when you need to change terminals, collect luggage, use parking, or navigate a busy airport. The required margin depends on your terminal and connection, so check the route before setting out. If your trip is time-sensitive, plan for walking, shuttle waits, and possible delays rather than relying on a very tight change.

It may be convenient when your destination is nearby or when it avoids a longer cross-city transfer. Check the exact stop direction and walking route to your final destination before choosing it for an important appointment.

Where can I connect by bus near Nubian or Broadway Station?

What should airport passengers confirm before using a bus station?

Confirm the terminal, airline location, stop name, departure time, and whether a shuttle or terminal change is involved. Travellers using airport parking should also check how they will reach the stop after parking. Planning for dining, retail, luggage, and extra transfer time can make the airport connection less rushed, especially during busy travel periods.
