Boston Planespotting Guide 2024
Boston Logan International Airport (KBOS) is New England’s largest and busiest airport, located in East Boston, Massachusetts. It serves as a major hub for both domestic and international flights, with four passenger terminals: A, B, C, and E, and six runways. Its close proximity to downtown Boston and the scenic harbor provides unique backdrop opportunities for aviation enthusiasts.
Planespotting at Logan is popular due to the variety of aircraft, including large international jets and smaller domestic planes. Some popular spotting locations include Constitution Beach, Airport Parking Garages, and Castle Island, offering great views of planes landing and taking off, especially over the water. The airport's mix of traffic and scenery makes it a must visit for aviation photographers around the world.
From all of us Boston-based aviation enthusiasts...
In order to keep Boston as planespotter friendly as possible, we ask that you follow all laws and regulations regarding planespotting. This includes staying clear of private
property or other restricted areas, and obtaining a planespotting permit when spotting from the airport garages.
In general, please be respectful not only to the other humans that you may come across when spotting, but to the environment around you.
Never litter and respect the nature and animals in your surroundings.
Thank You!
