The general aviation airport for greater Boston, in Bedford about 20 miles northwest of the city. It wins for Lexington, Concord, Weston and the western suburbs, and for anyone who wants to skip Logan's airline traffic.
Several FBOs on a field run by Massport, and no airline terminal. Cars meet the aircraft, and you are in the car within minutes of the door opening. The drive into Back Bay depends on Route 2 and Route 128, so the hour you land matters.
The city airport, in East Boston on the harbor. It wins for downtown, the Seaport and Back Bay hotels, for larger aircraft and bigger groups, and for an international connection.
One FBO, away from the airline terminals. Long runways and airline traffic all day, so a departure can wait for its turn. Downtown is 10 to 15 minutes through the Ted Williams Tunnel.
The small field south of the city, with no airline traffic. It wins for Westwood and Wellesley on a turboprop or light jet; its runways are about 4,000 feet, so larger jets go to Hanscom or Logan.
A short walk from the aircraft to the car. The airport asks jets to avoid flying between 10 pm and 7 am, so plan a daytime arrival.
Time in the air in calm conditions, rounded to five minutes. Your quote sets the schedule.
Lexington, Concord, Weston and the western suburbs are a Hanscom trip. Downtown, the Seaport and Back Bay hotels are a Logan trip. The drive decides it.
Logan wins for an international connection and for larger aircraft. Expect higher fees and the occasional ground delay.
Nor'easters close the window for a day at a time in winter. The crew watches the forecast from 48 hours out, and we move the departure with you, usually earlier rather than later.
From December to March expect deicing. It adds time on the ground before departure and shows on the quote when it is needed.
Headed to the Cape or the Islands instead? Hyannis, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket all take light and midsize jets. Ask and we quote them the same way.
With six or more and winter bags, a midsize or super midsize is the comfortable choice. Tell us the bag count and we pick the aircraft with the space.
Add where you are starting, a date and a headcount. Your starting prices arrive by email, and a pilot follows up as soon as the desk can review your request.
Hanscom for the western suburbs, Route 128 and anyone who wants to skip city traffic. Logan for downtown, the Seaport and Back Bay hotels, for bigger groups on larger aircraft, and for an international connection. Norwood suits a turboprop or light jet headed south of the city. Tell us where you are staying and we choose with you.
Your emailed planning estimate shows the current range by aircraft category once you enter where you are starting and your dates. A longer leg or a larger cabin sits higher in the range, and peak weeks sit in the upper half. Your quote will be exact.
A few days is usually enough for a normal week. For the February and April school vacation weeks and the holidays, book three to four weeks out.
Yes. Include both airports or addresses in your request. We review availability, ground transfers and the effect on the itinerary and price.
