CPTM Line 13-Jade commuter train runs from Luz station (central São Paulo) to the airport terminal in 33 minutes (R$4.40 integrated fare with metro). Trains run every 30 minutes from around 5am to midnight. This route is significantly cheaper than driving, as the Dutra highway (BR-116) suffers chronic congestion.Taxis from Paulista Avenue or Consolação cost R$90–150 and take 45–90 minutes depending on traffic. Ride-hails (99 or Uber) are widely used and typically R$70–120. Executive bus services (Guarucoop, Lira) run from Tietê terminal and Paulista (R$52–62). Traffic on the Dutra highway peaks heavily in afternoon and evening hours.

Water taxi to Long Wharf (downtown) is $12 and runs seasonally; check weather and schedule.Taxis to downtown Boston cost $30–45 (tunnel toll included in meter).

Humid continental climate with significant maritime influence. Winters (December–March) bring regular Nor'easters. These coastal storms that dump heavy snow and produce high winds, frequently closing Logan for hours and causing mass cancellations. Ice storms hit several times each winter. BOS is one of the most weather-disrupted major US airports in winter.
Summers are warm (22–29°C) with humidity and afternoon thunderstorms causing July–August delays. Hurricane remnants reach New England in September–October. Spring and fall are mild (8–18°C) but unpredictable. Logan's harbor location means it runs windier than inland readings suggest. Factor this into small aircraft routing.
