Boston Trials Off-Site TSA Screening to Bypass Logan Lines
TL;DR
Massport is piloting off-airport TSA screening at a Framingham facility about 25 miles from Logan, where selected passengers check in, drop bags, and clear security before boarding a shuttle to a special Logan entrance. The $9 one-way bus and $7 daily parking service runs for Delta and JetBlue flights from 5:30 am–4 pm, with reservations possible from 90 days to 90 minutes before departure. The aim is to reduce security lines and city traffic, with expansion possible if successful.
