Boston Logan International Airport

This photo was taken from Long Wharf in Boston. I chose this photo to represent Boston Logan Airport (BOS) because it shows a special experience that many travelers have when arriving here. If you have ever flown to Boston from Europe during the daytime, you might remember how amazing the final approach feels. Since planes usually land from east to west, you will find yourself flying very low over the Atlantic Ocean just before reaching the runway. It feels almost like the plane is just skimming the surface of the water — and that's exactly what is happening. This moment creates a really exciting and unforgettable first impression of Boston.

Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) is the primary airport serving Boston and the broader New England region. Located in East Boston, it spans approximately 2,384 acres and features six runways and four passenger terminals: A, B, C, and E . Despite its relatively compact size among major U.S. airports, Logan is one of the nation's busiest, offering nonstop flights to over 100 domestic and international destinations.
