All international flights apart from flights from destinations with U.S. Customs and Border Protection preclearance touch down using Terminal E for customs screening since the other terminals do not have customs screening facilities.
Terminal A
This terminal replaced a pre-existing building that was there from pre 1970’s which once occupied that spot. It was opened for passenger use in March 16, 2005. This terminal is largely divided into the main terminal and a satellite terminal. Both are connected by a pedestrian tunnel from underground. The new Terminal A (redesigned) was advanced under an exclusive facility lease between Massachusetts Port Authority and Delta. Later into September 14, 2005, Delta filed a petition that they were bankrupt, and consequently had to reduce the number of gates it had leased. Terminal A has 2 Delta Clubs, one located the 3rd floor of the satellite building, and the other one opened at the place of the earlier Continental Presidents Club inside the main terminal building.
In December 2018, there was an announcement made by Delta, that there would be an extension of routes to take place in 2019. This resulted to the displacement of the Southwest to Terminal B, and Delta regaining all of Terminal A.
Terminal B
This terminal was opened in 1974, but started major operations in 1979 when US Airways widened their operations. Major expansions were designed and done by HNTB. Since then, there were numerous small developments including expansion of the passenger lobby that were undertaken between 1995 and 2000.
Terminal B was split into the northern and southern buildings until 2014, a parking garage being the rift between the two. Gates at the northern building were divided into two groups while those of the southern building were divided into three groups. The air transport service providers operating Terminal B are Alaska Airlines, Air Canada, American, Boutique Air, Southwest, Spirit, and United. Only two air transport service providers operate the lounges at Terminal B, and they are United and American.
Terminal C
This terminal was the first to be opened at Boston Logan International Airport, and was opened in 1967 and underwent renovations in 1987, 2002 and 2005.

This facilitated movement in between the two terminals, which was part of Massport’s plan. This terminal serves as the operation base for JetBlue, Aer Lingus and Cape Air. It also acts as the departure zone for Sun Country, with TAP Air Portugal only.
The three gates at the north end of Terminal C that were formerly for Terminal D were renumbered and re-organized to be part of Terminal E in February 2006. There was a construction of an airside connector between Terminals E and C.
Terminal E

This terminal houses majority of international arrivals for Boston Logan International Airport hence it serves as an international terminal. This is in exclusion of flights from areas with U.S. border preclearance. In exclusion of Aer Lingus, Air Canada, TAP Air Portugal, and WestJet, most non-U.S. carriers depart from Terminal E. this terminal’s construction was completed in 1974, and underwent a modernization project in 1997 to improve the passenger handling facilities. Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and DMJM Aviation designed the International Gateway Project and added 410,000 ft2 (38,000 m2) to the terminal in 2003, and the entire project was completed in 2008.
This terminal has 12 gates and are assigned on operational basis. This means that no airline can claim ownership of any of these gates at this terminal.

My name is Alex Mutuma and I founded this blog, Airport LLC as a way to document and engage with clients in my travel consulting business. Airportllc.com is the only source of over 2,000 fun things flyers could do during layovers.
Over the past 7 years, I have designed and planned tour packages for hundreds of clients and have recently focussed on the mission of changing boring layovers to excellent mini-vacations by giving you the best suggestions on must-do activities when flying over different airports.
Next time you or your friend are looking for suggestions on what to do in some airport, remember Airport LLC or Airportllc.com. On this site, you’ll get the best suggestions available on the internet regarding hand-picked activities that will fulfill your airport experience.
I currently reside in New York City and have obtained a license to provide professional tour guidance at Airports in the US and across the world. Why should you listen to my suggestions? I have flown through more than 100 airports in the world and fortunately, I have pictures, stories, and tips to share with you regarding all the fun stuff you can do as you wait for your next flight.
Aside from gaining thousands of flying miles, I am also a travel consultant assisting clients with bookings and specifically advance tour bookings of things to do at airports when the layover is longer than 5 hours.
To make a 15-minute free things-to-do consultation with Alex, use my email, alex@airportllc.com.
This is only recommended for flyers with long layovers of over 5 hours. If your layover is 3+ hours, you can still reach out but we cannot guarantee the ideal package that will change your layovers to mini-vacations. I only support clients flying through US airports and a select number of cities across the world.
