| How Do I Get From Terminal A To Terminal E At Boston Logan Airport |
Option 1: Embrace Your Inner Ninja and Take the Skywalk Bridge (if you dare)
Yes, believe it or not, there's a secret passage – well, not exactly secret, but often overlooked. Look for the escalator ascending from the Terminal A lobby. Take it up, and voila! You'll be on the Skywalk Bridge, a climate-controlled (because let's face it, Massachusetts weather can be a rollercoaster) path leading straight to Terminal E. This option boasts scenic views of planes and fellow passengers scurrying below, but be warned: it's a brisk 5-minute walk. So, if you're laden with enough souvenirs to rival Santa's sleigh, this might not be the Jackie Chan maneuver for you.
Pros: Quick, scenic, feels like you're in a spy movie.Cons: Requires moderate physical fitness (unless you want to reenact that scene from "Cast Away" where Tom Hanks drags a tree trunk).
Option 2: The Massport Shuttle Bus - Your Chariot Awaits (Unless There's a Line)
For those seeking a more leisurely (or luggage-laden) approach, the Massport Shuttle Bus is your trusty steed. Head down to the lower level of Terminal A, find the curbside stop for the Massport bus #11, and climb aboard. This free shuttle loops around all the terminals, so just relax and enjoy the ride (and maybe plan your next vacation to a place with less walking involved).
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.
Pros: Free, easy on the legs, good for people-watching.Cons: Can get crowded, might take a bit longer depending on traffic.
Important Note: This option requires exiting security in Terminal A and re-clearing security at Terminal E. Double-check how much time you have for your connecting flight!
So You've Made It to Terminal E... Now What?
Congratulations, you've conquered the A to E challenge! Now you can high-five yourself, grab a celebratory Dunkin' Donuts, and get ready to explore your new terminal. Just remember, with great terminal travel comes great responsibility. Use this newfound knowledge to help out your fellow travelers who might be lost in the Logan labyrinth.
QuickTip: Slow down when you hit numbers or data.

How do I find the Massport Shuttle Bus stop?
QuickTip: Slowing down makes content clearer.
Look for the signs for ground transportation on the lower level of Terminal A. Bus #11 will be your chariot to Terminal E.
Do I need to go through security again if I take the shuttle bus?
Yes, since you'll be leaving the secure area of Terminal A. Budget enough time for this in your travel plans.
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
Is there another way to get from Terminal A to Terminal E?
Technically, you could hail a private helicopter, but that might raise some eyebrows with airport security. Stick to the Skywalk or the shuttle bus!
I'm really lost and freaking out a little. What should I do?
Take a deep breath, traveler! Most airport staff wear uniforms and are happy to help point you in the right direction. You can also look for informational kiosks or ask a friendly-looking passenger for assistance.
