How Far Is Fenway Park from Boston Logan Airport?

Fenway Park is approximately 4.5 miles from Logan Airport by road. That puts it well within Boston's inner core. Logan is one of the closest major international airports to a city center in the United States, sitting just 3 miles northeast of Downtown Boston in the East Boston neighborhood.

By car via the Ted Williams Tunnel (I-90 east), the trip takes 15–25 minutes without traffic. Add 10–20 minutes during rush hour or after a Red Sox game. By MBTA, the total trip runs 35–50 minutes including the transfer at Government Center.

What Is the Cheapest Way to Get from Fenway Park to Logan Airport?

The cheapest way is the MBTA subway at $2.40 per trip with a CharlieCard or tap-to-pay. That's the same fare whether you use a CharlieCard, contactless bank card, or the MBTA app. A paper CharlieTicket costs $2.90, so the card saves you money immediately.

If you're heading back from Logan to Fenway, the MBTA Silver Line SL1 is actually free from any Logan terminal to South Station. From South Station, you can connect to the Green Line toward Kenmore. That return trip costs you nothing from the airport side.

For travelers driving from Fenway and parking near Logan, off-site lots start at $18/day — a strong value for multi-day trips. Compare BOS off-site parking rates starting at $18/day on Triply before you book — spots at the cheapest lots fill up fast.

How to Take the MBTA Subway from Fenway Park to Logan Airport (Step-by-Step)

The MBTA subway route uses the Green Line and Blue Line. The transfer station is Government Center. This is the most reliable transit route between Fenway and Logan.

1. Walk to Kenmore Station on the MBTA Green Line (about a 5-minute walk from Fenway Park's Gate A area).
2. Board a Green Line B, C, or D train heading inbound (toward Downtown).
3. Ride to Government Center Station — approximately 4–6 stops, around 15–20 minutes.
4. Transfer to the Blue Line at Government Center. Follow signs — the platforms are connected.
5. Board a Blue Line train toward Wonderland (outbound direction).
6. Ride two stops to Airport Station — about 5–7 minutes.
7. At Airport Station, board the free Massport shuttle bus to your terminal. Routes 22, 33, 55, 66, and 88 serve all terminals. Shuttles run every 5–15 minutes, 24/7.

Total trip time is typically 35–50 minutes. The Blue Line runs every 6–10 minutes during peak hours. Green Line D trains run more frequently than B or C lines — if a D train arrives first, take it. All three serve Government Center.

Pro tip: Use a CharlieCard or tap your contactless bank card at the turnstile. A single fare covers the entire trip — Green Line plus Blue Line. No additional charge for the Massport terminal shuttle.

How Much Does an Uber or Lyft Cost from Fenway Park to Logan Airport?

Rideshare is the fastest door-to-door option. A standard Uber or Lyft from Fenway Park to Logan typically costs $25–$45 under normal conditions, based on current estimates for this route. That figure can rise to $50–$80+ during surge pricing — especially after Red Sox night games when demand spikes across the Fenway area.

Uber and Lyft both have designated pickup zones at each Logan terminal. Check the Uber Logan Airport pickup page or the Lyft BOS page for the exact pickup location at your terminal before you land. At Logan, rideshare pickups are at ground level at each terminal — follow signs for "Ride App Pickup."

To avoid surge pricing after a game, consider walking 10–15 minutes from the stadium before requesting a ride. This moves you out of the Kenmore surge zone and can meaningfully lower your fare.

Is There a Free Shuttle from Fenway Park to Logan Airport?

There is no direct free shuttle running from Fenway Park to Logan Airport. The MBTA Silver Line SL1 is free — but only in the direction from Logan to downtown, not from Fenway to Logan. Hotel shuttles from Logan-area hotels are only available to hotel guests.

The closest thing to a free option is the MBTA subway at $2.40. Once you arrive at Airport Station, the Massport on-airport shuttle is free and connects you to all terminals (A, B, C, and E) every 5–15 minutes. So the only paid leg of your public transit journey is the MBTA fare itself.

If you're looking to save on parking rather than the ride itself, Boston Logan long-term parking rates at off-site lots run as low as $18/day — far cheaper than the on-airport Central Parking Garage at $46/day.

How Long Does Each Transport Option Take from Fenway to Logan?

Travel time depends on your mode of transport, time of day, and whether there's a game at Fenway. Here's a realistic side-by-side comparison across all options.

Traffic on the Ted Williams Tunnel corridor can add 15–30 minutes during peak hours. Check real-time traffic on Waze before you leave — especially on weekday afternoons and after evening games. The MBTA is immune to tunnel congestion and often beats driving during rush hour.

What Are the Best Parking Options Near Logan Airport?

If you're driving from Fenway and leaving your car while you travel, off-site parking lots near Logan start at $18/day — compared to $37–$46/day on-airport. All the lots below offer free shuttle service to Logan terminals.

Note that Terminal E surface lots are currently closed during construction of a new 5,000-space garage expected to open around 2028. Plan accordingly if you're flying internationally. For more detail on each lot, see the full guide on Logan Airport off-site parking options and rates.

Logan's parking facilities hold approximately 18,000 vehicles total, per Massport. Even so, the cheapest on-airport advance reservation rate is $29/day — still more expensive than the best off-site options. Pre-booking is strongly recommended for weekend and summer travel.

Tips for Traveling from Fenway Park to Logan After a Red Sox Game

Post-game travel from Fenway to Logan is a specific challenge. The area around Kenmore Square floods with fans after every home game. Here's what actually helps.

Timing Your Departure

• Leave before the 9th inning if your flight allows it — MBTA trains and rideshare surge immediately after the final out.
• If you must leave after the game, wait 30–45 minutes for crowds to thin. Kenmore Station queues can be long right after the game ends.
• Evening games at Fenway typically end between 10–11 PM. MBTA Green Line service runs until around 12:30 AM, but trains get crowded and delayed after games.

Rideshare Strategy for Game Days

• Surge pricing near Fenway after games can be 2–3x normal rates. Walk toward Brookline Avenue or Commonwealth Avenue before requesting.
• UberXL or Lyft XL is worth considering for groups — splitting a larger vehicle often beats two standard cars.
• Taxis are metered and do not surge — a useful alternative when Uber and Lyft prices spike.

Luggage on the MBTA

• MBTA Green Line trains have limited luggage space — rolling suitcases fit but expect to stand during busy periods.
• The Blue Line to Airport Station is less crowded than the Green Line and has more room for bags.
• At Airport Station, the Massport shuttle has luggage-friendly boarding — drivers help with bags.

Allow Extra Time at the Airport

Build in extra buffer when traveling from Fenway on game days. TSA recommends arriving at least 2 hours before domestic flights and 3 hours before international flights. Review TSA security screening guidelines to understand what to expect at the checkpoint. If you have TSA PreCheck, you can move through security faster — especially useful when you've already lost time to post-game traffic.

Early Morning Flights After a Night Game

• If your flight departs before 6 AM and you've been at a night game, rideshare is your only realistic option — MBTA service is limited that early.
• Book your Uber or Lyft in advance using scheduled rides to lock in a fare and guarantee pickup time.
• Note that some hotel airport shuttle services are not 24/7 — verify hours if you're using a hotel lot shuttle for an early flight.
