Is Logan Airport the same as Boston Airport?

Yes, "Logan Airport" and "Boston Airport" are terms used interchangeably for the same facility: Boston Logan International Airport (BOS). Located primarily in the East Boston neighborhood, it is the largest airport in New England and serves as the primary gateway for the city of Boston. It was officially renamed in 1943 in honor of Major General Edward Lawrence Logan, a Spanish-American War hero and prominent local figure from South Boston. While many people simply call it "Logan," the airport code BOS remains the standard for all flight bookings. The airport is unique among major U.S. hubs for its close proximity to the city center—it is only about 3 miles from downtown Boston—and it is famous for its efficient connections via the "Silver Line" bus and the "Blue Line" subway. So, whether you are booking a taxi, checking a flight status, or looking for directions, "Logan" and "Boston International" both refer to this specific, historic aviation hub.
