Logan Express - Woburn

We usually park at the Logan Express Woburn lot and take the bus to Logan. We are going to Logan on Friday 4/26.

Today when looking at the website and schedule, they have a message saying "WOBURN LOGAN EXPRESS: OVERFLOW PARKING IN EFFECT, PLEASE SEE CASHIER AT MAIN GARAGE. FOR MORE INFORMATION, PLEASE CLICK THE ALERTS TAB".

Does anyone know where the "overflow" parking is at the Woburn Logan Express? There is no garage that they mention at that location and I have never seen a cashier at the entrance to the lot. There is no way to call that location (number always rings busy). Or has anyone been there this week?

The Alerts tab has a message about it being a busy week and lots may be full.

The Logan Express Woburn lot is a very popular option for travelers heading to Logan Airport, especially on Fridays and during busy travel periods. When the website mentions “overflow parking,” it typically means that the main lot is full, and drivers are directed to an alternate area or section. However, the specifics are not always clearly posted, which can be confusing.

From recent user experiences and local feedback, here’s what is generally happening when overflow is in effect at Woburn:

  • The "overflow" area is usually a designated section within the same Woburn property, often to the side or back of the main lot. There is sometimes a portable booth or temporary cashier available, especially during high-demand days, to handle payments and direct drivers.
  • If you arrive and don’t see a cashier, it is recommended to park in an available space and proceed to the main lot’s office or entrance kiosk to inform them that you are using overflow parking. They will typically provide instructions on where to leave your keys if valet service is in effect or confirm payment options.
  • Signs can be minimal, so keep an eye out for cones, temporary markers, or staff with vests directing cars. Local drivers have reported that during peak times, staff often manually manage the overflow spots, so patience and careful observation are important.

Additional tips for using Logan Express Woburn during busy weeks:

  • Arrive early to maximize your chances of a regular spot in the main lot and reduce stress in case overflow spots are farther away.
  • If the main lot is full and you are unsure where to park, the general recommendation is to follow any temporary signage or staff directions rather than searching randomly, to avoid ticketing or towing issues.
  • Check online the night before for any updates or alerts, as the lot can fill quickly on Fridays or holidays.
  • Consider having a backup plan, such as nearby private parking lots or rideshares, if the overflow lot is also full. Some travelers opt for these alternatives to avoid potential delays.

Overall, the overflow is managed onsite, usually within the same property, but it may not be immediately obvious where the spots are located. Following staff directions and confirming at the main entrance kiosk is your best approach.
