The Big Kahuna: Logan International Airport
Let's get the obvious one out of the way first. Logan International Airport (BOS) is the main event, the Beyonce to Boston's Coachella. It's where all the international flights land, the celebrities disembark, and the tourists arrive ready to conquer Freedom Trail and devour their weight in clam chowder.
Beyond Logan: A Flock of Smaller Airports
But hold on to your pre-flight peanuts, because Boston isn't a one-trick pony (or, should we say, a one-horse carriage?). The greater Boston area boasts a surprising number of smaller airports, each with its own quirky charm.
QuickTip: Use CTRL + F to search for keywords quickly.
- For the Private Flyer: Hanscom Field (BED) and Beverly Municipal Airport (BEV) cater to those who travel with a little more, ahem, legroom.
- For the New England Explorer: Worcester Regional Airport (ORH) might be your gateway to exploring the autumn foliage or hitting the ski slopes.
- And Then There's This Guy: We can't forget about Nantucket Memorial Airport (ACK). Yes, you read that right. Apparently, even tiny islands off the coast of Cape Cod have their own landing strips.
So, How Many Airports Are There Really?
Here's the thing: depending on who you ask and what you count (seaplane bases, private landing strips, that rogue hang-gliding enthusiast who keeps landing in the park), the answer can vary. But to keep things simple, let's say Boston and the surrounding area have at least 10 airports. There you have it, folks! Enough runways to satisfy even the most jet-setting Bostonian.
But wait! There's more!
