Air Travel
Air travel to Boston is most convenient via Boston's Logan Airport. The proximity of Logan Airport to the conference hotel means you avoid what often is a $30 charge each way between airports and the urban centers they serve. You are literally five minutes by cab or complimentary shuttle. Logan is served by almost all major airlines with a few important notes:
The top two airlines with direct flights to Boston are JetBlue and Delta.
Delta offers the Delta Shuttle Service between New York's La Guardia Airport and Boston's Logan Airport. The Shuttle offers a bit more leeway for arrival and departure times. Flights leave each way at 6:00am, 6:30am and then every hour on the half-hour until 7:30pm.
For booking JetBlue we recommend checking first on their Web site at www.jetblue.com.
Southwest Airlines (Southwest.com) serves the Boston area via airports based in Manchester, NH and Providence, RI. Both airports, traffic notwithstanding, are roughly 1 hour from the hotel by car.
To book an airline ticket other then on Southwest or JetBlue we recommend Expedia.com.
