Getting to LGA
Until then, the M60 Select Bus Service runs from 106th Street/Broadway in Manhattan to LGA for $2.90 (MetroCard); the trip takes 45–70 minutes. Transfers from the subway at Astoria-Ditmars Blvd (N/W trains) also work via the Q70 Select Bus.Taxis from Midtown cost $30–45 plus tolls and tip. Ride-shares (Uber/Lyft) run $35–55. Traffic on the Grand Central Parkway and Van Wyck can double travel times during rush hours; allow 90 minutes from Midtown during peaks.
Getting from BOS
Silver Line SL1 (free from Logan) runs to South Station in 15–20 minutes, connecting to the Red Line subway and Amtrak services. The Massport Shuttle connects all Logan terminals and the remote parking areas; it's also the transfer between terminals. 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). Ride-hails pick up at designated zones; follow the Logan app directions to avoid the main curb chaos. MBTA Blue Line (Airport station, free shuttle from terminals) reaches downtown in 10 minutes but requires a separate transfer. Amtrak Acela to New York departs from South Station (2.5h, from $49).
Boston Climate
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.

American Airlines and Delta Air Lines both operate LGA-BOS nonstop. Combined, the route runs close to 14 nonstop departures per day in each direction, making it one of the most frequent US Northeast Corridor air segments. Both carriers fly regional jets, primarily Embraer 170/175 and 190-series aircraft, on this short sector. Block time is 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes on the 185-mile sector.
Amtrak Acela and Northeast Regional trains run from New York Penn Station to Boston South Station in 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours 30 minutes depending on service. The fastest Acela services take 3 hours 30 minutes. When airport transit time at LGA and Logan is included, total door-to-door time by train is often comparable to flying. Acela connects city centres without the security and terminal friction of airports. A significant share of New York-Boston intercity passengers choose rail, particularly those originating or ending in Midtown Manhattan.
At LaGuardia, American Airlines uses Terminal B and Delta uses Terminal C. At Boston Logan, American uses Terminal B and Delta uses Terminal A. LGA and BOS are both compact airports where terminal transfers require exiting and re-entering security. For point-to-point LGA-BOS travellers with no checked bags, both airports clear security quickly relative to larger hubs. Allow 30 minutes at LGA security during weekday peak hours.
LaGuardia to Boston: Northeast Shuttle Corridor
LGA-BOS is one of the shortest significant air routes in the US at 185 miles, with American and Delta together operating close to 14 daily nonstop departures in each direction. Both carriers deploy regional jets, predominantly Embraer 170 and 175 aircraft. Block time is 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. The route functions as a shuttle, with frequent departures throughout the day allowing near walk-up flexibility. Both LaGuardia and Logan are slot-constrained or capacity-managed, which limits the total number of daily operations. The passenger mix is heavily weighted toward business travel between New York and Boston's financial, biotech, and academic sectors.
Modal Competition and Delay Profile
Amtrak Acela's 3 hours 30 minutes New York Penn to Boston South is the primary competitor for this pair. Rail captures a substantial share of originating city-centre passengers. The air route remains competitive because LaGuardia is more convenient for passengers living in Queens, the Bronx, or Connecticut, and because connecting passengers at LGA who are already airside find it faster to board a Boston flight than exit to rail. LGA is one of the highest-delay airports in the US by average minutes per flight, driven by tight airspace and slot pressure. Logan experiences occasional fog and winter delays. Short-haul passengers should expect higher delay rates on LGA-BOS than on longer routes. The new LGA Terminal B, fully open as of 2023, has improved the departure experience at the New York end.
