SunRail commuter rail connects downtown Orlando to the Sand Lake Road station (not at the airport). A shuttle or ride-hail covers the remaining 4 miles; the full trip takes 50–70 minutes and costs around $8–15 total. Brightline high-speed rail (launched 2023) runs from Miami and Fort Lauderdale to MCO's Terminal C, with one-way fares from $30–80.Ride-hails (Uber/Lyft) from International Drive cost $18–30; from Walt Disney World resort area $25–40. Taxis are metered. Park-and-ride options are limited; most long-term parking is in the airport's own garages ($15–25/day).
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).
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Orlando to Boston: Florida's Theme Park Gateway to New England
MCO–BOS is a two-and-a-half-hour nonstop linking two of the Northeast's most important leisure and business airports. JetBlue, Delta, American, Southwest, Spirit, and United all operate the corridor, making it one of the more competitive East Coast routes by carrier count. The demand is heavily leisure-oriented southbound. New England families heading to Walt Disney World and Universal Studios represent a substantial share of the MCO-bound traffic. Northbound, Florida residents make Boston a common destination for cultural visits, fall foliage season, and New England business travel. JetBlue anchors Boston Logan as one of its strongest focus cities, giving the route consistent high-quality options.
Seasonal Patterns and Airport Characteristics
The route sees its highest southbound demand from December through March as New England families seek Florida winter sun, and its highest northbound demand in September and October for fall travel. MCO is one of the busiest airports in the US and handles Disney and Universal visitor volume efficiently across its four airsides. Boston Logan sits 3 km from downtown, making it unusually central for a major US airport. The Silver Line SL1 bus connects directly to South Station at no cost from the airport. Winter weather at Boston is the main schedule risk. Heavy Nor'easter snowstorms can disrupt Logan for 12–48 hours during the December–March window.
