Flying from Tampa International
Tampa International is regularly ranked among America's best-loved mid-sized airports for its compact, easy-to-navigate design — a single landside terminal connected to four airside satellites by people movers. There is no rail to downtown Tampa; the SkyConnect automated train links the main terminal to a consolidated rental car centre. Southwest, Spirit and Allegiant compete hard on price for theme-park-adjacent leisure traffic. International long-haul reaches London (BA), Frankfurt (Lufthansa) and seasonal Zurich (Edelweiss).
Arriving in Boston
Boston Logan is 3 miles from downtown Boston — the closest big-city airport in the country to its city centre. The Silver Line bus runs free for arriving passengers from each terminal directly to South Station in 15 minutes. Fares to Boston peak around college move-in (late August), graduation (May) and during the Marathon (April); January and February are cheapest, though weather disruption is significant.
