The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) is expecting heavy passenger travel at Boston Logan International Airport during the upcoming April school break, Wednesday, April 11, through Sunday, April 22, 2007. Massport advises the traveling public to check with their airline for first hand flight information and to allow themselves thirty (30) minutes additional commuting time to get to the airport.

As an alternative to driving to and from Boston Logan, Massport offers express bus service from Braintree (south), Framingham (west), Peabody and Woburn (north). During the April school break, Massport is offering a special weekly rate of $44 for up to two weeks stay for travelers that enter the parking lot from 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, April 12, 2007 through 11:59 p.m. Friday, April 20, 2007. This parking rate does not apply to the Framingham service.

Full service bus terminals and secure parking are available at each location and kids under 12 ride free. Braintree, Framingham and Woburn buses depart every 30 minutes and Peabody departs hourly. For more information on Logan Express visit www.flylogan.com.

To help lessen delays at the security checkpoints, the TSA has launched a public service campaign entitled, 3-1-1 for Carry Ons, that advises travelers on the quantity of liquids, gels and aerosols allowed in carry-on luggage. For more information on TSA travel regulations, please visit their website at www.tsa.gov.
