Flying from Manchester
Manchester is the UK's third-largest airport and the dominant Northern hub for both short-haul and long-haul. The airport's three terminals serve a deep mix of full-service carriers (BA, Lufthansa, KLM), low-cost operators (Jet2, easyJet, Ryanair) and intercontinental long-haul (Emirates, Qatar, Singapore, Virgin Atlantic). Northern travellers usually save 90+ minutes versus heading down to Heathrow or Gatwick — and on European routes Manchester fares are competitive with the London airports.
Arriving in Boston
Boston Logan sits 5 km northeast of downtown Boston, with the Silver Line bus running directly to South Station in 15 minutes (free for arriving passengers). BA, Virgin Atlantic and JetBlue serve the route. Boston is the closest US East Coast city to the UK by flight time and often the cheapest US route from London — autumn foliage season (October) is the price peak.
