Which is the best way to get to the hotel arriving early afternoon on a saturday?
Best way from the airport to the Langham hotel. (not a taxi)YES!
By public transportation, take free shuttle bus from your airport terminal to Blue Line Airport stop. Take an inbound train (will say either Bowdoin or Government Center) three stops to State Street Station. Go up to surface, walk down Congress St. to the Langham. Trains run every 8-10 minutes on Saturday...ten minute train ride, five minute walk to hotel.
Fare is $1.25
Best way from the airport to the Langham hotel. (not a taxi)Don%26#39;t know how old/fit you are, but, after a 7hr flight, customs, ( photos and fingerprints) and presumably a fair amount of luggage, if you can afford it, take a cab.The T is very easy to use, but with luggage it takes on a whole new meaning.
Good morning Randywakeman!
It%26#39;s true, when you have luggage with your from the airport? You won%26#39;t want to deal with these subway stations and trains. Hop in a taxi at the airport, the have people that will direct you right to the taxi stands. Check out this information here, it%26#39;ll be very useful for you to read this site before you land in Boston....
Go to www.massport.com
Look for ';Quick Jump'; then click on Getting from Logan
Pick TAXI underneath ';Type of Transportation'; area.
Scroll and read the Meter Rates and then scroll further down and it%26#39;ll list the majority of the Hotels in Boston and what you can expect to pay from the airport
to each of these Hotels listed, not
including the tip.
If you have any any type of trouble with any of the following Taxi%26#39;s that you need to make sure you ONLY step foot in to, then make sure you call the Boston Police Department%26#39;s Hackney Division at 617 343-4475 as soon as you can to make them aware of it. You shouldn%26#39;t have any trouble, especially at the Airport, the taxis are all different colors, brown and white, black and white, red, white and blue, you can%26#39;t miss them lined up at the taxi stand area.
Boston Licensed Taxi Companies:

It does depend on how much luggage you have, but unless it%26#39;s a ridiculous amount or you are physically unable to carry heavy things, taking the T from the airport is really not that bad at all. I%26#39;m a very physically weak woman, and although it%26#39;s no fun, I have no real trouble carrying heavy luggage filled with shoes on the T to and from the airport when I travel and the money it saves is well worth a bit of hassle. As a previous poster explained, the T line that services the airport also services your hotel, so you don%26#39;t even have to switch lines or anything.
Don%26#39;t forget the new silver line from the airport. It stops at all the terminals rather than you having to take a shuttle bus to the blue line. If you get off at South Station, the walk isn%26#39;t too far and is actually pretty nice through post office square. It would probably be faster than the blue line, but involve another couple of blocks of walking.
