Summary
Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) is launching a pilot “remote terminal” program on June 1, allowing travelers to check in, drop off luggage, and clear security at a facility in Framingham, MA, before taking a bus to the airport. The program is a collaboration between Massport, the TSA, and Landline, and will initially serve Delta and JetBlue passengers. Tickets cost $9 each way, with children under 18 riding free.

The escape is carefully planned.
Boston Logan Airport’s new remote terminal in Framingham, MA, offers a miniature airport experience, complete with check-in desks, a departures board, and a security checkpoint. Passengers can drive or be dropped off at the terminal, which has 350-400 parking spaces available. After clearing security, passengers board a bus that takes them to the airport, where they can proceed directly to their gate.
The remote terminal is a test of a new concept in air travel, one that could potentially reduce traffic and congestion around the airport. But for now, it’s just a convenient option for passengers flying out of Boston.
And, of course, there’s the added bonus of being able to say you’ve experienced the future of air travel – or at least, a possible future, if this pilot program is successful.
