Where is the best place to meet someone coming in on an international flight at Logan Airport?|186493

A friend and I are meeting in Boston next week - I am flying in domestically and he is coming internationally about a 2 hours after me. Where is the easiest place to meet up in the airport? Is there a particular place for international arrivals?

  • Since you will be flying on a domestic flight, you will arrive into terminal A, B, C/D; depending on which carrier you fly.

    Terminal A: Delta/Continental

    Terminal B: Air Canada/Alaska/America West/American Eagle/American/Spirit/USAirways

    Terminal C/D:AirTran/CapeAir/JetBlue/Midwest/
    United

    All international flights from regardless of air carrier coming directly from a destination outside the U.S. will arrive into terminal E. Example, if your friend is coming on a direct flight from Ireland he/she will land into terminal E. However, if they flew Ireland to New York with a continuing or seperate flight into Boston they will arrive into the airline_s domestic terminal.

    Once you arrive at your terminal, and after collecting your belongings walk outside any door that leads you to buses. It will be marked overhead with signs. You will stand at the blue bus stop to take the shuttle it also says _T_ with a circle around it. Several different blue buses will arrive. To get you from terminals A-D to E you can take several different buses. It doesn_t matter which of the following you take as they will all make a stop at terminal E.

    Shuttle buses making stops at terminal E:
    55-All terminals
    66-All terminals/water shuttle dock
    11-All terminals
    88-All terminals/parking lot

    Any/all of those buses will make stops at terminals A through E. This is the best way to get from your terminal to the international terminal to pick up your friend. If you chose to walk within the airport, it can be done but it is a long, long walk and most people do not care to do it.

    Once you get off at terminal E, go in on the lower level, which will be the level you exit the bus on. Enter into any door and you will find the international arrivals customs/immigration exit doors. It is located to the right of the restrooms and the left of the only restaurant/bar you will find in the lower level. Also to the left of the Dunkin Donuts.

    As an aside, if you will be using public transportation to get to your destination once leaving the airport, you can take bus 33 to the subway_s airport station which you can take into Boston for $2.

  • terminal E is where the international arrivals come in. That_s probably your best bet. Remember that it will also take him time to clear customs and immigration. And you can_t have your phone on in line. So have him call you before he gets off the plane.
