Flights to Boston

Flights > USA > Boston (BOS) Boston flights summary: Direct flights to Boston are available from London, Glasgow and Manchester. Connecting flights to Boston often require a certain amount of doubling back -- either via a European hub city such as Amsterdam, or a US Gateway like New York. Generally, the partnership between KLM and Northwest airlines makes Amsterdam the most likely place to find connections. Boston in a nutshell: The biggest city in leafy New England, Boston is also one of the oldest, but manages to successfully blend Old World charm with pure Americana.

More suggestions for finding cheap flights to Boston

Direct flights

There are three airlines offering direct flights from London to Boston. British Airways and Virgin Atlantic head up the British contingent with regular daily flights from London Heathrow. American Airlines, who have a major hub at Boston’s Logan Airport, operate flights there from both Heathrow and Manchester. Flyglobespan have also recently started Boston flights from their main base in Glasgow.

Connecting flights

We would advise you to avoid taking connecting flights to Boston via New York where possible. Apart from the obvious doubling back that this entails, it is usually much less hassle to transfer to another European airport, or through Canadian cities such as Toronto or Montreal. This is because if you transfer via New York (or any other US city for that matter) you have to re-check your bags.
Northwest Airlines have a major presence in Boston, offering an extensive range of possibilities for connecting flights via Amsterdam with their partner airline KLM. In addition to the usual European hubs such as Paris and Frankfurt, Boston's strong Irish links support regular flights from Dublin, although many of these involve a stop in Shannon. Flying from Ireland also has the advantage of clearing US immigration at the point of departure, rather than on arrival.

Mini Guide to Boston

A rowdy older brother to Chicago, Boston survives as another vibrant hotbed of American blue-collar values. Gone are the days when the most immediate association Boston had was with a certain tea party; now, a draught of Irish whiskey is the more likely beverage of choice in any of this bustling, likable destination’s many bars. The streets come alive, painted in bright shamrock-green, every March 17th, when the city’s Celtic residents celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Still, Boston also provides greenery of a different kind, most picturesquely in the fifty-plus acres of Boston Common and its adjacent Public Garden. These are ideal strolling venues for those intending to drink without driving (especially in a city undergoing a major, long term public works project, where driving isn‘t easy even for the sober); many a hangover has been slept or walked off here. As much as the barflies may protest, it’s not all about the booze, of course. A sense of decorum and history prevails in such destinations as the Museum of Afro-American History, Paul Revere House, the John F. Kennedy Library and Museum, and aboard the U.S.S. Constitution, a stout vessel that stands as the U.S. Navy’s oldest commissioned ship. Nearby tourist haunts include the town of Salem, home to the 17th century witch trials, and Plymouth, first port of call for the Mayflower. Boston’s other claim to fame is playing host to many of America’s foremost seats of learning. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), home to innumerable scientific breakthroughs, sits just up the road, with Harvard - the famous Ivy League university, which also boasts a great range of museums and archives to be explored - closer to hand. Bostonians, however, like to mix it up a bit: another of the most visited venues in the area is Fenway Park, again a historical relic (it’s the oldest baseball arena in the States), but this time one that’s home to the ever-popular Red Sox, and their ever-raucous and witty fans.
