Logan Airport Question

Currently on the Cape for a month long visit. We have a friend arriving from Paris on Tuesday. She is advising us her phone will not be working on her arrival. Where is a good place to rendezvous?

When arranging a meeting at Logan Airport (BOS) without phone communication, it’s best to choose a clear, easily identifiable location that’s accessible and commonly known to travelers. Since your friend is arriving internationally from Paris, she will be coming through Terminal E.

Recommended rendezvous points:

  • Arrivals Hall near baggage claim, Terminal E: Once she clears customs and collects luggage, the arrivals hall is a logical and obvious spot. Look for the main open area directly outside the baggage claim carousels.
  • Meeting by the information desk: Each terminal has a centrally located information desk that is easy to spot and often used by travelers to coordinate meeting points.
  • Outside the terminal curbside: If you prefer to pick her up right away, the curbside pickup area outside Terminal E is clearly marked. You can park briefly in the cell phone lot until she arrives.

Additional tips:

  • Confirm the terminal: Make sure you know which terminal her flight lands in (likely Terminal E for international flights). Logan has clear signage, but knowing the terminal ahead of time saves confusion.
  • Arrive early: Give yourself extra time to navigate traffic and parking. The airport can be busy, especially mid-morning and late afternoon.
  • Consider a visual cue: If she has any distinctive luggage or clothing, agree to look for that to make identification easier without phone contact.
  • Use the Cell Phone Waiting Lot: Logan has a free cell phone lot where you can wait until she lands and clears customs, avoiding circling the terminal.

In summary, the easiest plan is to meet her in the Terminal E baggage claim/arrivals hall area. It’s a recognizable, safe location, and she won’t need a phone to find you there.
