Getting to BOS
MBTA Silver Line SL1 bus runs from South Station (Red Line, Amtrak) through the Ted Williams Tunnel to all Logan terminals; free from the airport, $2.40 inbound. Journey from South Station takes 15–20 minutes depending on traffic. The Blue Line Aquarium station connects to a free water taxi ($12) across the harbor to Logan; scenic but weather-dependent.Taxis from downtown Boston cost $30–45 with the Ted Williams Tunnel toll included. Ride-hails are comparable. The Sumner and Ted Williams tunnels both serve the airport; check traffic before departing, as both frequently back up. Logan is only 3 miles from downtown but tunnel congestion often extends that to 30+ minutes.
Getting from DCA
The Metro station is inside Terminal B/C with covered walkway access; Terminal A requires a short outdoor walk or shuttle. Yellow and Blue line trains run to downtown DC in 15–25 minutes for $2.25–$3.85.
Taxis and Uber/Lyft operate from designated pick-up zones outside each terminal; fares to downtown run $15–30. DCA serves the National Mall area and is well-positioned for the U.S. Capitol, Pentagon, and downtown offices. International arrivals clear customs at DCA only for pre-cleared flights; most international traffic uses IAD (Dulles). Rental cars are in a consolidated facility accessible by shuttle.
Washington Climate
Humid subtropical climate. Summers (June–August) are hot and very humid at 29–34°C with frequent afternoon thunderstorms causing ground stops and airspace flow programs. The summer storm season is the primary operational disruption risk at DCA. Spring and autumn are transitional with variable conditions and occasional severe thunderstorm outbreaks.
Winters (December–February) bring cold temperatures (−2 to 7°C) with occasional snowstorms that disproportionately affect the DC area due to limited snow-removal infrastructure. Even moderate snowfall (5–10 cm) can shut regional airports for hours. Pack layers for winter; the region's storm response is notoriously inconsistent.

Most mainline service at Boston Logan departs from Terminal B or Terminal C depending on the carrier. American Eagle's shuttle uses Terminal B, while other operators may use Terminal C. Check your carrier's specific terminal assignment when connecting from an international arrival.
Both Boston and Washington Reagan sit in the Northeast winter storm corridor. Logan is susceptible to nor'easters that cause multi-hour ground stops, while Reagan can be briefly closed by icing events. Travelers on tight itineraries should build buffer time November through March.
Reagan National operates under a Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA) due to proximity to restricted airspace. All arriving aircraft must follow strict approach corridors, which can extend taxi times and occasionally cause flow control delays during busy periods.
Boston to Washington Reagan: Northeast Shuttle Corridor
The Boston–Washington Reagan corridor is one of the highest-frequency short-haul routes in the United States, anchored by the legacy shuttle services that have operated on this segment for decades. The route connects two major political and economic centers along the Amtrak Northeast Corridor, and air service competes directly with Acela rail for the business travel market. Frequencies peak on Monday mornings and Thursday/Friday evenings, reflecting demand from government contractors and lobbyists.
Airport and Connection Notes
Reagan National's slot-controlled environment limits total daily operations, which keeps capacity constrained even when demand spikes. Boston Logan operates without slot controls but faces significant weather-driven delays in winter months. Both airports offer direct public transit links to downtown. The Silver Line serves Logan and the Metro Blue/Yellow lines serve Reagan, making ground transport relatively straightforward for arriving passengers.
