| How Do You Get From Terminal A To Terminal E At Boston Logan Airport |
Option 1: Embrace Your Inner Indiana Jones (and Utilize the Skywalk)
For the intrepid explorer (or those short on time), there's the Skywalk. Yes, it's exactly what it sounds like – a bridge suspended high above the throngs of mortals shuffling below (okay, maybe it's an elevated walkway, but work with me here). Look for the escalator leading up from the Terminal A lobby and follow the signs to Terminal E. This route is a breeze – scenic (well, as scenic as an airport walkway can be) and gets you there in about 5 minutes, assuming you don't get sidetracked by a flock of particularly enthusiastic pigeons.
Word to the Wise: This option requires you to be pre-security. If you've already waltzed through the security gauntlet, skip ahead to option number two.
Tip: Skim once, study twice.
Option 2: The Inter-Terminal Shuttle Bus – Not as Glamorous, But Gets the Job Done
Feeling less Indiana Jones and more like your average tourist? No shame! The free inter-terminal shuttle bus is your chariot to Terminal E. Head to the lower level of Terminal A, find the magical curb where bus #11 appears (just like a pumpkin turning into a carriage!), and hop on board. This option might take a tad longer than the Skywalk, but it's a great choice if you're rolling with bulky carry-on luggage or simply want to relax and enjoy the (admittedly limited) airport scenery.
Bonus Tip: If you manage to snag a seat at the front of the bus, you might even get a glimpse of a plane taking off or landing. Just don't try to recreate a Maverick-style salute from the window. Safety first, people!
QuickTip: Break down long paragraphs into main ideas.
