Covid-19 testing is now available in Terminal C (Departures Level, Pre-Security) and Terminal E (Arrivals Level, Pre-Security) at Boston Logan. Please visit https://www.xprescheck.com/ to make an appointment prior to arriving.
Logan Airport is open 24 hours a day, however once the security checkpoints close, passengers are required to stay in the public, pre-security areas until the TSA opens the security checkpoints for Terminals A, B, and C by 04:00 and Terminal E by 04:30.
All security checkpoints at Boston Logan are operated by the TSA. Massport works with the TSA to monitor security line length and tries to keep the wait time less than 15 minutes; however to avoid any problems, we recommend arriving two (2) hours prior to domestic departures and three (3) hours prior to international departures to ensure adequate time for check-in, security screening and travel to your gate. Security checkpoints normally open one hour prior to the first departure of the day. Please check with your airline or TSA directly for information regarding specific checkpoint hours of operation.
Although Massachusetts has legalized some uses of marijuana in the Commonwealth, it is prohibited under federal law to carry marijuana through the TSA checkpoints. Law enforcement will be summoned by TSA to its checkpoints for investigation when marijuana is discovered.
The TSA uses Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) at Boston Logan. Currently, AIT is used in every terminal, but not at every checkpoint. For more information about AIT including privacy and opt-out information and other frequently asked questions please visit www.tsa.gov.
All items for carry-on must be screened at the security checkpoint. Liquids are allowed in carry-on luggage in accordance with the 3-1-1 format. All liquids must be contained in a bottle 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or less and placed inside a one quart, clear, plastic, zip-top bag. One bag per passenger is allowed. There are exceptions for baby food/formula as well as items needed for special medical purposes.
Note: Ink and toner cartridges over 16 ounces are now banned from both carry-on and checked baggage. Firearms are also not permitted in carry-on baggage.

A valid government issued ID and boarding pass are required for gate access through all of Logan’s security checkpoints (accommodations made for children without ID).
Gate passes may be issued on international departures ONLY for people assisting unaccompanied minors during check in and departure. Please note airline policies for gate passes vary and issuance is not guaranteed. Contact the airline for further information about gate pass issuance.
