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 LGA
Taxis from LGA to Midtown Manhattan cost $30–45 (flat rates do not apply from LGA; metered). Ride-shares pickup is on the lower level; fares to Midtown typically $35–55. Allow 30–60 minutes off-peak, 60–90 minutes during rush hour.The M60 Select Bus ($2.90) connects to the subway at multiple points and takes 45–70 minutes to Manhattan. Q70 Select Bus connects to the 7/E/F/M/R trains at Jackson Heights for additional subway access. Note that LGA has no direct subway or rail link as of 2026.
New York Climate
Humid continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. LGA is one of the most disruption-prone major US airports. A combination of weather (nor'easters, summer thunderstorms, winter ice) and congested airspace drives delays year-round. Summer (June–August) afternoon thunderstorms cause frequent ground delays and can back up the eastern seaboard for hours.
Winter (December–February) brings snow and freezing rain events, with −5–4°C averages. Nor'easters typically cause 1–2 significant cancellation events per season. Spring and autumn are the most operationally stable periods. Connections through LGA require buffer time to absorb accumulated delays.

See the On-Time Performance section for the latest delay data at both airports. This shows departure and arrival reliability to help you plan.
Route data is updated regularly from official airline schedules. On-time performance data comes from recent airport delay snapshots.
Block time is 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes for the 190-mile route. Actual air time is barely 45 minutes. Most of the block time is taxiing at both airports. LGA is notorious for arrival and departure delays during peak hours, and Logan's taxiways can stack during American and Delta banks.
Delta operates 7 to 10 daily nonstops as part of its BOS-LGA shuttle. American runs 5 to 8 daily frequencies. Both carriers brand these as shuttle services with flexible walk-up fares and frequent departures. Equipment is mostly A220, A319, or E175. JetBlue does not fly BOS-LGA since it focuses on JFK from Boston.
Amtrak Acela runs Boston South Station to New York Penn Station in 3 hours 30 minutes. Northeast Regional takes 4 to 4.5 hours. Door-to-door, flying takes 3 to 4 hours when you add airport time. Acela delivers you to Midtown Manhattan directly, while LGA requires a taxi or transit ride. For Midtown destinations, the train is more time-efficient and avoids weather-related delays.
Flying wins when connecting onward from LGA to another Delta or American destination. It also works for Queens, the Bronx, or Long Island destinations where LGA is closer than Penn Station. Some business travelers prefer the shuttle's hourly frequency and the ability to switch flights without penalty. If Acela is sold out or delayed by Northeast Corridor track work, flying is the backup.
The Q70 SBS bus connects LGA to the Jackson Heights-Roosevelt Avenue subway station, where the E, F, M, R, and 7 trains reach Midtown in about 40 to 50 minutes total. Taxi and rideshare cost $35 to $55 and take 25 to 60 minutes depending on traffic on the Grand Central Parkway or BQE. The M60 bus runs to Harlem and connects to multiple subway lines at 125th Street.
Boston to LaGuardia: The Northeast Shuttle
BOS-LGA is a classic Northeast Corridor shuttle route dominated by Delta and American Airlines. Combined frequency reaches 12 to 18 daily nonstops, with departures roughly every hour from early morning through evening. Block time is about 1 hour 20 minutes for the 190-mile hop, though actual air time is under 45 minutes. Both carriers offer flexible shuttle fares aimed at business travelers who need walk-up pricing and easy rebooking.
This route competes directly with Amtrak Acela, which makes the same trip in 3.5 hours city center to city center. Flying is faster in raw transit time but slower door-to-door for Midtown Manhattan. LGA's renovated terminals and bus connections to the subway have improved the ground transport picture. The shuttle makes the most sense for connecting passengers, outer-borough destinations, and travelers who value departure frequency over train comfort.
