Cheapest Places to Fly From Boston: What Logan's Deals Cost

A month of Boston Logan deals shows where the cheap fares go: Florida nonstops, Allegiant surprises like Des Moines, Southwest to Austin and San Diego, and Portugal for long-haul.

What is in this guide

The short answer

The cheapest places to fly from Boston in Blame the Fare’s deal data are Miami (Fort Lauderdale) from $96 return on Allegiant, Des Moines and Sarasota from $112, Orlando from $128 and Austin from $132, mostly nonstop. Lisbon ran $505 to $563. These are snapshots from 1 to 31 October 2026, not bookable quotes; fares change daily.

Where these prices come from

Every fare on this page is a one-adult, economy, return price in U.S. dollars, as Blame the Fare’s daily deal scanner found it on Google Flights between 1 and 31 October 2026, and only fares that pass the feed’s current rules are counted. Fares move constantly; none of these is held or guaranteed. Figures were checked on 1 November 2026.

The cheapest places to fly from Boston right now

If you live in Boston and want the cheapest places to fly, the short answer is Florida, plus a handful of cheap Allegiant and Southwest nonstops you might not think to search. On 25 scan days between 1 and 31 October 2026, Blame the Fare’s deal scanner logged 180 Boston Logan (BOS) deal observations that pass the feed’s current trip rules, across 25 destinations. The median fare was $179 return, 130 of the 180 observations (72%) were nonstop, and the median stay was four nights.

Every one of those observations left from Logan. The feed had no rows from Providence (PVD), Manchester–Boston (MHT) or Hartford Bradley (BDL) in October, so this guide does not cover them. If one of those is closer to you, price it separately.

The live picture on 1 November 2026, from the 03:00 UTC scan, was nine Boston deals, from $128 (Orlando, six nights from 6 December on Frontier, nonstop) to $505 (Lisbon, ten nights from 27 November on TAP Air Portugal, nonstop), with a median of $150. Six of the nine were nonstop. The others were San Diego and Austin at $137 on Southwest, both six-night nonstops in early December; Des Moines at $142 and Sarasota at $150 on Allegiant; Atlanta at $178 and Memphis at $240 on Frontier with one stop; and San Francisco at $268 with one stop over Thanksgiving week. The full list is on the deal feed, and the Boston departures page shows what is checked from Logan today.

Boston destinations by logged deal fare

“Deals logged” counts how many times the scanner recorded a qualifying fare on that route, roughly once per scan day it appeared. A route with two or three observations is a hint, not a pattern, and the table says so rather than hiding it. Medians are rounded to the nearest dollar.

Airport codes and names in the table are as Google Flights returned them, which is why the Fort Lauderdale code appears as Miami. One route with a single observation is left out of the table: Denver, at $190 one-stop on JetBlue for two nights. It is a real fare the scanner found, but one sighting says little about what the route usually costs. One four-night Edinburgh sighting at $678 also met the feed’s floor, but it sits below the five-night long-haul stay this guide treats as a real trip, so it is not counted in the Edinburgh row.

Florida is Boston's most reliable cheap escape

Florida was the backbone of the Boston data: 81 of the 180 observations went to seven Florida airports, with a median of $179 and 74 of the 81 nonstop. West Palm Beach appeared 20 times at $169 to $219, every one a Delta or JetBlue nonstop. Orlando appeared 16 times at $128 to $159, all nonstop, across Delta, American, JetBlue and Frontier. Tampa was $179 to $189 over 12 sightings, all nonstop, and Fort Myers $179 to $199 over 12, with five nonstops.

The cheapest Florida fares were on Allegiant. Fort Lauderdale, which Google Flights labels Miami, appeared five times at $96 to $123, all nonstop, for four- to eleven-night trips departing between December and January. Sarasota appeared 13 times at $112 to $142, all nonstop, mostly for 11-night trips in late January and February. Jacksonville added three Delta nonstops at $149 to $199. Most of the cheap Florida trips from the big carriers were three or four nights, so if you only want a long weekend, our guide to the cheapest days to fly explains why the day you return can matter more than the day you leave.

Des Moines, Austin and the cheap domestic surprises

The most frequent route in the whole Boston data set was not Florida. Des Moines appeared 22 times, on 22 different scan days, at $112 to $150, every one an Allegiant nonstop for three, five or ten nights. Austin appeared 10 times at $132 to $157, nine of them nonstop on Southwest, and the 1 November feed still had a six-night Austin nonstop at $137 from 2 December.

Further into the middle of the country the fares were higher and needed a stop. Minneapolis was $218 on all four sightings, all Sun Country nonstops. Memphis ran $236 to $248 over nine, St. Louis $238 to $259 over three and Kansas City $266 to $299 over four, every one of them one-stop. Atlanta appeared twice on Frontier, at $120 nonstop and $182 one-stop, and the 1 November feed had an 11-night Atlanta trip at $178 with one stop from 21 November. If you are travelling that week, our guide to cheap Thanksgiving flights covers how holiday dates move the price.

San Diego, San Francisco and the West Coast

San Diego was the standout West Coast fare. It appeared 13 times from $121 to $203, with a median of $179, and 10 of the 13 were Southwest or JetBlue nonstops of a little over six hours. The 1 November feed had a six-night Southwest nonstop at $137 from 4 December. San Francisco appeared twice at $267, both one-stop, and the live feed had a six-night trip at $268 from 26 November, also one-stop.

Portland was $264 to $276 over three United one-stop sightings. These are long domestic flights, so the feed asks for a longer stay than it does on a Florida hop: three nights on flights of four and a half to six and a half hours, and four on flights of six and a half to nine and a half hours. The cheap San Diego fares were mostly three or four nights, and Portland and San Francisco four to nine. A nonstop can be worth paying a little more for on a route this long.

Sint Maarten, Punta Cana and Calgary

The Caribbean was thin from Boston in October. Sint Maarten appeared twice at $267 and $272, and Punta Cana twice at $294 and $298, all one-stop, for five- to eleven-night trips. Calgary appeared twice, at $289 for five nights from 31 December and $338 for 14 nights from 8 December, both one-stop.

That is far less island choice than New York had in the same month, and a lot of it failed the sense check: three more Sint Maarten sightings and single San Juan, Santo Domingo, Punta Cana and Liberia fares were hidden by the sense check. For more island ideas, see our guide to cheap flights to Mexico and the Caribbean. Calgary is in Canada: check your passport and any entry rules before you book.

Lisbon, Porto, Athens and Edinburgh

Long-haul from Boston was a short list led by Portugal. Lisbon appeared seven times on TAP Air Portugal from $505 to $563, with a median of $549; six were nonstop, for seven to twelve nights. Porto appeared four times from $502 to $554, all TAP nonstops, for five to ten nights. The 1 November feed had Lisbon at $505 nonstop for ten nights from 27 November.

Athens was $696 to $697 on five American one-stop sightings, all 11-night trips departing 13 December. Edinburgh appeared three times at $677 to $685, all one-stop with no airline named, for 11 to 13 nights. This guide applies a five-night floor to long-haul deals, stricter than the feed’s own four-night floor for flights of this length, so the four-night Edinburgh fare is not a recommendation here. Our guide to cheap flights to Europe has more on when transatlantic fares fall.

Which airlines carry the cheap Boston fares

Allegiant carried 40 of the 180 Boston observations, more than any other airline, all of them nonstops to Des Moines, Sarasota or Fort Lauderdale. Delta carried 38, all to Florida and 32 of them nonstop, and Southwest 24, on Austin, San Diego, Memphis and Punta Cana. JetBlue carried 23, Frontier 12, TAP Air Portugal 11, American 10, United 5 and Sun Country 4. Thirteen observations carried no airline name at all.

Bag rules matter when the fare gap is small. JetBlue says every fare, including its cheapest Main Base, includes a carry-on bag that fits the overhead bin and a personal item that fits under the seat; its published limits are 22 by 14 by 9 inches for the carry-on and 17 by 13 by 8 inches for the personal item. JetBlue includes a first checked bag on all transatlantic routes; on most other routes checked bags are included only on some fares. Check Allegiant’s and Frontier’s bag prices on their own sites before you compare, and our guide to carry-on bag sizes by airline compares the limits.

Why some cheap Boston fares never reach the feed

Boston had far more raw deal observations than the 180 counted here. Of 388 Logan observations stored in October, 133 were domestic hops under the feed’s 1,500-kilometre floor for U.S. trips, such as Knoxville, Asheville, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis, Charleston and Cincinnati. Another 13 were stays too short for the distance, 20 went to destinations without a reviewed photo, such as Destin and Bozeman, and 42 failed the traveller sense check, for example on awkward routing or a price above our own record for the route.

The rules apply when the feed is read, so the numbers in this guide are what a member would actually have been shown, not every fare a search engine returned. That is also why Kansas City, Memphis and St. Louis look thinner in the table than in the raw data: 26 of their sightings were hidden by the sense check.

Getting to Logan by Silver Line, Blue Line and Logan Express

Logan is unusually easy to reach without a car. Massport, which runs the airport, says the MBTA Silver Line 1 (SL1) goes directly to all terminals and connects Logan with South Station, and that the ride from the airport to downtown is free. It includes a free transfer to the Red Line. Going to the airport on the Silver Line or subway needs a standard fare, which Massport says is usually $2.40 one way with a CharlieCard or contactless payment.

The Blue Line runs from downtown to Airport Station, where free Massport shuttles, including Route 88, run to the terminals. The MBTA says contactless cards, phones and watches work on its Charlie readers, and that CharlieTickets and CharlieCards are sold from fare machines in the Logan terminals, at Airport Station and at South Station. Massport also lists year-round MBTA ferry service from the airport’s Water Transportation Dock to Long Wharf, Hull and Hingham, reached on the free Route 66 shuttle.

Logan Express buses run from Back Bay, Braintree, Danvers, Framingham and Woburn direct to every terminal. From Back Bay, Massport says the ticket to the airport is $3 and the ride back is free, with buses every half hour from 5am to 9pm towards Logan. At the four suburban sites, parking is $7 a day; Massport currently lists a limited-time online fare of $9 each way, and kids ride free with a ticketed family member. Massport says Braintree Logan Express moves temporarily to the MBTA Quincy Adams Garage from 3 November 2026. Our guide to the cheapest airports to fly from explains when a second airport is worth the trip.

How to catch a cheap fare from Boston

  1. Start with Florida and the surprises. Florida produced 81 of the 180 sensible Boston fares, but Des Moines, Austin and San Diego were among the cheapest nonstops.
  2. Start with the destination, not the date. Open the deal feed or a map search and shortlist places under your price ceiling.
  3. Check trip length. Most cheap Boston fares were three- to five-night returns, with Allegiant’s Sarasota and Des Moines fares often 10 or 11 nights; move the dates a day either way and watch the price.
  4. Add bags and transport. Put the carry-on, checked bag and Logan Express or MBTA fare on the same line as the ticket, especially on Allegiant and Frontier.
  5. Compare on more than one site. Our hub of the best flight search sites shows which to cross-check before paying. For other U.S. cities, see the New York and Miami guides.

Blame the Fare previews a few current deals publicly on the deal feed. Members see every checked Boston fare, and you can try the full feed free for 7 days. The Departures Club costs $9 per month or $79 per year; where available, the founding annual price is $49 for the first year, then renews at $79 per year. Eligible new annual members get a 7-day trial with a card required. We do not sell tickets; you book with the airline or agent. See membership prices and terms.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the most common questions about this topic.

Where is the cheapest place to fly from Boston?

In Blame the Fare's October 2026 data, the lowest route median was Fort Lauderdale, which Google Flights labels Miami, at $104 return over five Allegiant nonstops from $96. Des Moines had a $119 median over 22 sightings and Sarasota $132 over 13, both Allegiant nonstops. Austin was $137 and Orlando $159. These are deal snapshots for one adult in economy, before bags, and they are not bookable now.

How much are flights from Boston to Florida?

In October 2026, Florida made up 81 of the 180 sensible Boston observations, with a $179 median and 74 nonstops. Orlando ran $128 to $159 over 16 sightings, West Palm Beach $169 to $219 over 20, Tampa $179 to $189 over 12 and Fort Myers $179 to $199 over 12. Allegiant was cheapest: Fort Lauderdale from $96 and Sarasota from $112. Add bags before comparing.

Why does Des Moines show up as a cheap flight from Boston?

Because Allegiant priced it low on almost every scan day. Des Moines appeared 22 times on 22 different scan days in October 2026, at $112 to $150 return, every one an Allegiant nonstop for three, five or ten nights. On 1 November the member feed had a ten-night trip at $142 from 13 November. It is a real fare pattern, not a one-off, but check bag prices first.

Are there cheap nonstop flights from Boston to the West Coast?

San Diego was the best example. It appeared 13 times from $121 to $203 with a $179 median, and 10 were Southwest or JetBlue nonstops of a little over six hours. On 1 November the feed had a six-night Southwest nonstop at $137 from 4 December. San Francisco was $267 and Portland $264 to $276, all one-stop, so price nonstops directly on those routes.

Can you get a cheap flight from Boston to Europe?

Portugal was the cheapest. Lisbon ran $505 to $563 over seven TAP Air Portugal sightings, six nonstop, and Porto $502 to $554 over four, all nonstop, for five to twelve nights. Athens was $696 one-stop on American and Edinburgh $677 to $685 one-stop. On 1 November the feed had Lisbon at $505 nonstop for ten nights from 27 November. Fares change daily.

Which airlines have the cheapest flights from Boston?

Allegiant carried 40 of the 180 sensible Boston observations, all nonstops to Des Moines, Sarasota or Fort Lauderdale. Delta carried 38, all to Florida, Southwest 24, JetBlue 23, Frontier 12, TAP Air Portugal 11, American 10, United 5 and Sun Country 4, and 13 carried no airline name. Cheap carriers often charge for bags, so add them before comparing fares.

Which Boston-area airports does this guide cover?

Only Boston Logan (BOS). Blame the Fare's feed had no October 2026 rows from Providence (PVD), Manchester-Boston (MHT) or Hartford Bradley (BDL), so those airports are not covered and no fare from them is quoted here. If one is closer to you, price it separately. Our guide to the cheapest airports to fly from explains when a second airport is worth the extra trip.

Why does the feed hide some cheap Boston fares?

Of 388 Logan observations stored in October 2026, 133 were U.S. domestic hops under the feed's 1,500-kilometre floor, such as Knoxville, Asheville and Grand Rapids. Another 42 failed the traveller sense check, 20 went to destinations without a reviewed photo, and 13 were stays too short for the flight time. The 180 counted here are what members would have seen.

How do you get to Logan Airport by public transport?

Massport says the MBTA Silver Line 1 runs from South Station to every terminal and is free from the airport to downtown; going to the airport needs a standard fare, usually $2.40. The Blue Line reaches Airport Station, with free shuttles to the terminals. Logan Express from Back Bay costs $3 to the airport with a free ride back, and the suburban sites charge $7 a day to park.

Are the prices in this guide bookable?

Not necessarily. Every price is a fare Blame the Fare's deal scanner found at a moment between 1 and 31 October 2026, or in the 1 November scan, for one adult in economy, in U.S. dollars, and the figures were checked on 1 November 2026. Airlines change fares constantly, and The Departures Club does not sell tickets or hold seats. Confirm the exact price with the airline or agent.
