Which Airlines Fly Out of Logan Airport Terminal A?

Terminal A at Boston Logan serves two airlines: Delta Air Lines and WestJet. That's the full list — no other carriers operate from Terminal A. If you're flying Delta domestically or WestJet to Canada, you're at Terminal A.

Delta is the dominant carrier here, operating dozens of daily departures to its major hubs including Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis, and New York-JFK. WestJet connects Boston to cities across Canada. If you're unsure which terminal your flight departs from, check your boarding pass or the Massport airline directory.

One thing to watch: Massport approved a Terminal A-B Connector project in May 2024. Once complete, passengers will be able to move between Terminals A and B post-security without re-clearing. This won't affect parking access, but it does change how connecting travelers flow between the two terminals. The airport remains fully operational during this work.

What Are the Closest Parking Options to Terminal A at Logan Airport?

The Central Parking Garage is the closest on-site parking to Terminal A. It sits at the center of the Logan campus and connects directly to all four terminals — including Terminal A — via covered pedestrian bridges on Level 4. You don't need a shuttle. You walk straight from your car to the terminal.

The Terminal B Garage is dedicated to Terminal B passengers and is less convenient for Terminal A travelers. The Economy Parking Garage is farther from the terminals but offers a free shuttle bus to all terminals, including Terminal A. For a full comparison of every on-site lot, see our guide to Logan Airport parking lots.

Triply sells off-site lots in Revere, Chelsea and Dorchester. Se-lect Airport Valet Parking, Park N Boston and PreFlight Airport Parking run shuttles to the airport. They're farther from the terminal than the garages but cheaper: about $19 to $30/day versus $46/day at the Central Garage. Se-lect, Park N Boston and Ramada by Wyndham Boston all cost less than half the Central Garage rate. Broadway Motor Service in Revere is about $13/day but has no shuttle, so you'd take an Uber or taxi both ways.

How Much Does Parking Near Terminal A at Logan Airport Cost in 2026?

Here's a side-by-side look at parking rates for Terminal A travelers. On-airport rates come from Massport's official pages (checked October 2026). Off-site rates are daily rates for a 7-day stay booked ahead and change by date:

Off-site lots can cut your cost sharply. Se-lect at about $19/day is about 58% less than the Central Garage's $46/day walk-up rate and about 48% less than the $37 Economy rate. Over 7 days that is about $134 at Se-lect (about $154 at Park N Boston) versus $322 at the Central Garage and $259 at Economy, using the daily maximums since Massport has no weekly rates. PreFlight, at about $30/day (about $211 for 7 days), is about 35% less than the Central Garage and 19% less than Economy, but slightly more than Massport's $29/day advance reservation ($203 for 7 days, limited spaces).

How Do You Get from Central Parking Garage to Terminal A?

Getting from the Central Garage to Terminal A is a straightforward walk. Here's how it works step by step:

1. Park on any level of the Central Garage and note your floor and section number.
2. Take the elevator or stairs to Level 4.
3. Follow signs for the enclosed pedestrian bridge toward Terminal A.
4. Walk across the bridge — it connects you directly into the terminal building.
5. Proceed through the terminal to your departure gate.

The walk from Level 4 to the Terminal A gate area typically takes 5-10 minutes depending on where you parked. Signage inside the garage is clear. The bridges are covered and climate-controlled, so weather isn't a factor. Logan's Central Garage also has 24/7 call boxes on every level for jump starts, lockouts, and tire help — all at no charge.

Driving to the Central Garage from Interstate 90 (Massachusetts Turnpike), take the Ted Williams Tunnel and follow Route 1A / Route 145 toward Logan. From Interstate 93, take the Sumner Tunnel or Callahan Tunnel into East Boston. Use the Waze live traffic map before you leave — traffic through the tunnels can add 15-20 minutes during rush hour.

Is Off-Site Parking Near Terminal A Worth It? On-Site vs. Off-Site Compared

Off-site parking is usually cheaper than the garages for trips of two or more days, though PreFlight costs slightly more than a Massport advance reservation. The main trade-off is time: you'll ride a shuttle each way instead of walking directly from your car. Whether that's worth it depends on your priorities.

On-Site Parking (Central Garage)

• Pro: Direct pedestrian bridge to Terminal A — no shuttle, no waiting
• Pro: Fastest option if you're running late or have heavy bags
• Con: Up to $46/day walk-up rate — one of the highest parking costs in the Northeast
• Con: Fills quickly during peak travel periods

Off-Site Parking (Third-Party Lots)

• Pro: Rates from about $19/day with a shuttle (Se-lect), about 58% less per day than the Central Garage's $46 walk-up rate. Broadway Motor Service is about $13/day but has no shuttle.
• Pro: Every Triply booking has free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in
• Pro: Se-lect (every 20 minutes), Park N Boston (every 30 minutes) and PreFlight (every 10 minutes) run shuttles 24/7
• Con: You ride a shuttle each way, so allow extra time compared with the Central Garage bridge
• Con: Ramada's shuttle runs only 6 AM to 10 PM and Broadway has no shuttle, so check before booking early or late flights

For multi-day trips, off-site parking makes clear financial sense. For a quick overnight or a drop-off, the Central Garage's bridge access may justify the higher cost. Our guide to Boston Logan long-term parking has more on how to choose based on trip length.

How Do You Reserve Parking at Logan Airport for Terminal A in Advance?

Reserving ahead is the single best way to save on Terminal A parking. Central Garage advance reservations can bring your rate down to around $29/day — a significant drop from the $46/day walk-up price. Massport handles reservations through their online system at massport.com.

For off-site lots, you can compare and book through Triply: Se-lect, Park N Boston, PreFlight, Ramada by Wyndham Boston and Broadway Motor Service. Bookings come with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in, so there's little risk in reserving early. Park N Boston must be booked at least 24 hours ahead, and Ramada has a 5-day minimum.

The FlyLogan app from Massport lets you check real-time parking availability across on-airport facilities before you leave home. That's useful for avoiding a full garage on a busy Friday afternoon.

What Are the Best Tips for Parking at Logan Airport Terminal A During Peak Travel?

The Central Garage fills fastest during summer weekends, Thanksgiving week, Christmas/New Year's, and school vacation weeks in February and April. Here's how to handle it:

• Reserve at least a week ahead during summer (June-August) and major holidays, because spots go fast.
• Use the Economy Garage as a backup. It's $37/day with a free shuttle and rarely fills as quickly as Central.
• Check the FlyLogan app for real-time availability before you drive in. It updates live for on-airport lots.
• Arrive 30 minutes earlier than usual on peak travel days, because tunnel traffic from I-90 and I-93 adds unpredictable delays.
• Consider TSA PreCheck if you don't already have it. It cuts security time significantly at Terminal A and gives you more buffer if your parking situation takes longer than planned.
• Off-site lots are another option in peak weeks: Se-lect, Park N Boston and PreFlight run 24/7 shuttles. Book ahead, and note Park N Boston needs at least 24 hours' notice.

What Are the Alternatives to Parking at Logan Airport Terminal A?

Parking isn't the only smart option for Terminal A travelers. Boston Logan is just 3 miles from downtown Boston — one of the shortest airport-to-downtown distances of any major U.S. airport. That makes transit genuinely useful here.

The MBTA Silver Line SL1 runs free from Terminal A to South Station in about 15-17 minutes. From South Station, you can connect to the MBTA Commuter Rail, Red Line, or Amtrak. The MBTA Blue Line reaches Airport Station via a free Massport shuttle — useful if you're coming from Cambridge or downtown. Logan Express buses run from five suburban locations including Braintree, Framingham, Woburn, and Beverly.

Ride-share is another strong option. Uber and Lyft have designated pickup zones at Terminal A — check the Massport pickup and drop-off map for the exact location before you arrive. For travelers who want to skip the parking hassle entirely, a park-and-sleep hotel package can bundle overnight parking with a room the night before departure. Our guide to hotels near Boston Logan with free parking lists the best options with verified rates.
