wdblake Posted July 11, 2004 #1 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Does anyone know how much taxi fare is from the airport to the port in Boston? Just want to plan ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peaches from georgia Posted July 11, 2004 #2 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Can't be much- $5 or so. Port and airport are very close; in fact the planes are almost landing on the ship as they cross over head. Just a short taxi ride through a tunnel and you are at the port.

sail7seas Posted July 11, 2004 #3 Share Posted July 11, 2004 There is a toll the rider must pay to enter the Ted Williams Tunnel which is the route used from Logan Airport to Black Falcon Terminal. There is also a flat fee which anyone getting a taxi at Logan Airport pays which is a user fee or some such. I think it is about $5 before the taxi even moves.

KAJOKG Posted July 11, 2004 #4 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I wouldn't count on $5 in Boston!! WE took a cab from our Cambridge hotel to the airport - a 10 minute drive (before the morning rush) and it cost us $25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveLifeAtSea Posted July 11, 2004 #5 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Katy ... I don't think Sail7Seas meant that the total trip was $5. I'm pretty sure she was pointing out that it was $5 before the taxi even moved. After that, there would be the actual mileage and access to the tunnel costs. I think I read elsewhere to expect to pay about $25.00 from the airport to the cruise terminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thanks for the observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linus99 Posted July 11, 2004 #7 Share Posted July 11, 2004 We used the HAL transfers but we spoke to a family that said they paid $20.00 to the pier. They also said they had no trouble getting a taxi. If we had it to do over again that's what we'd do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveLifeAtSea Posted July 11, 2004 #8 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Sorry Katy :) .... After reading so many of these threads, once I read yours, I just went up to the one prior to yours. I didn't think to go further back. I hope I didn't offend you. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madeline815 Posted July 12, 2004 #10 Share Posted July 12, 2004 From a Bostonian - whose office is in the Black Falcon Terminal/Marine Industrial Park: $5 airport fee, plus $3 toll for the Ted Williams Tunnel, plus $6 for the actual mileage = $14, plus your tip.

bkonner Posted July 18, 2004 #11 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Howdy, I live in Boston (North End). While the pier is under a mile from Logan, it depends on traffic. It can take five minutes or an hour. It depends on when you go. It will certainly NOT BE $ 5.00 (remember, this is Boston, and it isn't cheap here!) Plan on anywhere from $ 10.00 if you are lucky to about $ 30.00 depeding on traffic. I live in the North End which is down town (next to two of the three airport tunnels--1/2 a mile to Logan), and last month went to Logan at about 5 am. It cost with tip about $ 15.00. Try to avoid 6 am to 9 am and 3 pm to 7 pm. bkonner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
