Logan Airport Wants Travelers Prepared for School Vacation, Boston Marathon

BOSTON - The Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) is excited to welcome thousands of runners and spectators to Boston Logan International Airport for the 128^th running of the Boston Marathon, as well as those traveling for April school vacation.

Transportation recommendations:

• Travelers should be aware that due to the increase in passengers, parking at Logan as well as Logan Express sites will be near capacity;
• Up to date parking conditions at Logan are available on the Massport website and the FlyLogan app;
• For those taking Logan Express, it is strongly encouraged to be dropped off and picked up at the site;
