Terminal A to Terminal E
We have a connecting flight on Delta—with only 1hr40min layover—what is the fastest way to get to terminal E? We are flying on Delta and heard they have their own shuttle
If you have a 1 hour and 40-minute layover and need to get from Terminal A to Terminal E at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), here’s how to make the transfer as quickly and smoothly as possible:
- Delta Shuttle: Delta does provide a dedicated shuttle service between terminals, which is usually the fastest way to transfer between Terminal A and Terminal E. This shuttle is typically available for passengers flying with Delta, especially those connecting between terminals for domestic flights. The shuttle operates frequently, but you’ll need to check with Delta staff at your gate to confirm if this option is available during your layover. Make sure you’re on the right shuttle to Terminal E.
- Walking: If you don’t have the Delta shuttle available or prefer to walk, the distance between Terminal A and Terminal E is about a 10-15 minute walk. The terminals are connected by a series of concourses and walkways. Follow the signs for Terminal E, and you’ll find the route well-marked. This is often a quick option if you're able to move briskly and avoid crowds, but bear in mind that your 1 hour 40 minutes layover might feel tight if there are delays during your initial flight or while passing through security.
Tips:
- Given your tight layover time, it’s important to move quickly once you land in Terminal A and check the status of the Delta shuttle or the walking route.
- Listen for any announcements or follow directions from airport staff as you exit your flight, as they may have updated information on shuttle availability or potential delays.
- Consider using a mobile app like the BOS app or Delta’s app to track shuttle locations or get real-time terminal information.
If everything goes smoothly, you should be able to make the transfer with enough time, but remember to keep an eye on the clock, especially if you need to clear security again at Terminal E.
