Parking at BOS
 

Hi all-

Although I live closer to MHT, I'm considering BOS as my commuter airport and I am wondering what kind of options I have for parking down there that won't cost $100 a week. I've taken a look at some places online but even the 'economy' parking lots don't seem very cheap. I suppose taking the T would be a viable option and parking in the cheap lots there. I'm just wondering for those that commute out of BOS what you do for parking?

Thanks in advance for the input!

Usually if you find the airport parking office and show them a crew ID they'll let you buy an employee parking pass to park in the employee lot. I can't speak for BOS, but it's $34 a month in MCO.

Try Preflight parking in Chelsea. Thats where I park. Its pretty good they pick you up right at your car and drop you off there. Your guarenteed a space and they write it down so you don't have to remember. I don't no what the price is but, they have some sort of deal with Eagle.

speedbird you flying for Comair????? I got on w ASA and was wondering the same thing....I acutally was thinking about commuting out of PVD or MHT as ACEY flies out of there and not BOS, soetime BOS--ATL commute can be tough from what I hear...

Yep I'm at OH, still have another month or so to go before training ends but just thinking ahead for the commute to wonderful JFK.....praying that they open BOS as a crew base sometime!

Well good luck in training I am in ATL here w ASA in basic indoc, not too bad, hope they get this contract figured out....if they do, this will be a good place to be, COMAIR should open up BOS as a base, it would make sense, i think they overnight like 4-5 jets there each night. Good luck in training bud.

Thanks man good luck to you also with training, and I hope you guys figure out your contract soon, that thing has been too long coming.

Eagle reimburses me $80 a month for not using Preflight. I'm on the cape & use the P&B bus - you should have an equivalent service, Concord Trailways? or Dartmouth? Its $90 for 10 one way passes, parking free at the Sagamore bridge. The Logan Express bus passes are $75.00 for 44 trips, but monthly parking is another $66 or so, I'm not sure of the geography on the north shore, but Woburn, or Peabody are the northern terminals.

Check with the info desks on the baggage service level to find out which bus lines run to your vicinity. Then go to the parking violations office in Terminal C - they only sell the discounted bus passes there - not on board or at the suburban stations. You'll need your company badge, no Logan ID required, and pay only by Visa/MC.

If you live near Nashua, NH this could be an option http://www.bostonexpressbus.com/bost...ress/index.htm

also, Lowell, Ma. has a commuter rail station that takes you to Logan as well http://www.mbta.com/schedules_and_ma...ns/?stopId=107

Anyone have an update to the employee parking situation at Logan.

I'll be comuting to NY and I have contacted massport. They said the company needs to set it up. Then I called back on the massport number and they said that it is another number and transfered me without giving me the number. Then a voicemail, so I'm waitingon a call back.

Questions:

1. Still the Chelsea Garage?
2. Monthy Cost?

​​​​​​​thanks

Currently $175 a month at preflight.

Several of the area hotels do monthly parking with vans every 20 minutes or so as well. Hampton and Comfort in Revere come to mind.

Chelsea Garage "IF" you hit it when they have an opening..... currently they are signing people up for...... wait for it.....
the parking lot at Wonderland in Revere with busses every 30 minutes, and honestly, you'd get there faster hopping on the train right there instead of wsiting for the bus. Yes, they are parkign you all the way over at Revere Beach with rush hour traffic.... good luck.

I'd try the area hotels first, and preflight as a backup since the drawbridge is always an unknown that can add another 30 minutes to your commute. It's almost at the point that the park and ride, CJ Coach and Logan Express busses from New Hampshire and northern Mass are a better option. Their issue is a late arrival back into Boston and I think the busses stop running around midnight in most cases.

If you're coming from the north, park in Woburn at the Logan Express.

Is the one in Peabody still there too on Route 1?

Thanks for the info. Of course ideally it would be nice to park right by and just take the shuttle in. But Logan has always seemed like a pain.

I get a $40 stipend from the company for parking so some sort of offset.

Driving to Woburn to take Logan Express is not bad. Taking the bus from Nashua might work. That certainly would be convenient.

Last thing I really want to do is get to Boston and there be no spaces. So at least taking the shuttle busses would alleviate any of that issue.

thanks again for the reply

in 18 years, I've never seen preflight full to the point of not taking more cars.
