Boston Logan International Airport (BOS)

Boston Logan International Airport (BOS)

All flights to Boston arrive at Logan International Airport (BOS), which is located approximately 5 miles east of downtown Boston. A free shuttle is available to the nearest “T” stop. It services all of Logan’s five terminals. Although the airport is close to the city center, traffic can make the trip last as long as thirty minutes. Book taxis 24 hours in advance of your arrival or departure.

Public Transport

Public Transport

The MBTA, known locally as the “T,” provides quick and efficient rail service throughout the city. Single tickets are available, as well as week-long unlimited “Visitor Passes”. Bring cab fare if you plan on staying out late, as the T stops running at 12:30am. Boston is small enough to be completely manageable by bike. Call Boston Bike Tours and Rental to make a reservation and they’ll bring the bike to you.

Post

Post

Sending parcels and letters in the US is a relatively straightforward process. The most common method is through the United States Postal Service (USPS). The USPS offers a variety of services for sending mail, including First-Class Mail for letters and postcards, Priority Mail for packages, and Priority Mail Express for overnight delivery. To send a parcel or letter, you will need to take it to a USPS post office or use a USPS blue collection box. You can use the USPS website to find the nearest post office or collection box to your location. Additionally, you can also use private couriers such as FedEx and UPS, which often provide a wider range of services and faster delivery times, but generally at a higher cost.
