Terminal A is Boston Logan's primary hub for Delta Air Lines operations. There is no dedicated Terminal A Garage — the closest on-airport parking is the Central Parking Garage, an 8–10 minute covered walk via the Level 4 pedestrian bridge. Central Parking runs $46/day drive-up or $29/day with an advance reservation. Cheaper alternatives exist if you don't mind a shuttle.
Terminal A sits on the south side of the Logan terminal loop and is the airport's primary home for Delta Air Lines. Delta operates the majority of the terminal's gates, including international service and its premium Delta One lounges. Because Terminal A handles heavy early-morning Delta banks to Atlanta, JFK, Detroit, and Minneapolis, parking demand peaks between 4:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. on weekdays.
Unlike Terminal B, Terminal A does not have a parking garage physically attached to the terminal building. Massport routes all Terminal A parking through the Central Parking Garage, located in the middle of the airport loop between Terminals B and C. From Central Parking, travelers cross a fully covered pedestrian bridge on Level 4 to reach Terminal A's check-in hall.
If price matters more than the walking distance, Economy Parking sits on the far side of the airport and runs $37/day drive-up or $29/day on an advance reservation, with the free Route 88 shuttle to Terminal A every 15–20 minutes. Compare options on our full Logan parking rates page before you book.
The ranking below reflects actual walking distance and transit reliability for Terminal A travelers specifically. Central Parking is the clear winner on proximity; Terminal B Garage is a close second if Central is full; Economy Parking is the budget-friendly choice that adds a short shuttle ride.
Covered, multi-level Massport garage in the center of the airport loop. Direct Level 4 pedestrian bridge to Terminal A — no shuttle, no outdoor walk. 8–10 minute walk from a typical parking space to Terminal A check-in. Best choice for Delta travelers with early or weather-sensitive flights.
Covered garage attached to Terminal B. Same $46 daily / $29 advance rates as Central Parking. From Terminal B, you'll cross the Level 4 bridge through the garage to reach Terminal A — roughly 12–15 minutes door-to-door. Use this as a fallback when Central Parking advance spaces are sold out.
Open-air surface lot on the east side of the airport. $37/day drive-up, $29/day advance. Free Route 88 shuttle runs 24/7 every 15–20 minutes to all four terminals, including Terminal A. Best choice for trips of 5+ days where the per-day savings add up.
Note: there is no "Terminal A Garage" at Logan. If a booking site or search result lists one, they are referring to Central Parking. The Central Parking Level 4 pedestrian bridge is the fastest route into Terminal A — fully covered, climate-protected, and moving walkway–equipped for part of the route.
Actual walking time depends on which level you park on and where in the terminal your Delta gate is. Allow 8–10 minutes from a Central Parking space to the Delta check-in counter, then add TSA and gate time on top of that.
| Origin | Distance to Terminal A | Transit Type |
|---|---|---|
| Central Parking (Level 4) | 8–10 minute walk | Covered pedestrian bridge |
| Terminal B Garage | 12–15 minute walk | Covered bridge via Central |
| Economy Parking | 18–25 minutes total | Route 88 shuttle (free, every 15–20 min) |

All three closest-to-Terminal-A lots are operated by Massport. Central and Terminal B Garage are identically priced; Economy Parking is cheaper on a daily basis but adds a shuttle. Advance reservations at $29/day are available at each lot through park.massport.com — space is limited, especially for holiday weeks.
| Lot | Daily Max (Drive-Up) | Advance Rate | Access to Terminal A |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central Parking | $46.00 | $29.00 | 8–10 min walk (Level 4 bridge) |

| Economy Parking | $37.00 | $29.00 | Route 88 shuttle (free, 15–20 min headway) |
| Off-Airport Lots | Varies by operator — check operator site | Operator-run shuttle | |
Terminal A is Delta's primary terminal at Boston Logan, handling Delta mainline, Delta Connection regional flights, and select Delta international departures. Alaska Airlines also operates from Terminal A. Airline-to-terminal assignments can change — always confirm with your airline or the Massport airline directory before departure.
Reference: Massport airline directory. Airline-to-terminal assignments can change seasonally or with new route launches. Always check your boarding pass or airline confirmation for the definitive terminal assignment.
Terminal A has its own rhythm — Delta's hub-feeder banks concentrate departures in early-morning and late-afternoon windows. Planning around those peaks saves time on every step: parking search, shuttle wait, TSA queue.
Delta runs its heaviest Boston banks early morning. Central Parking entry queues can back up after 4:30 a.m. on peak days. If your flight is before 8 a.m., plan to be parked and inside the terminal by T-minus 2 hours for domestic, T-minus 3 for international.
If Central Parking fills up on high-demand days, Massport redirects drivers to Economy Parking with free Route 88 shuttle access. The shuttle runs 24/7 every 15–20 minutes to Terminal A. Build an extra 20 minutes into your timeline so a full Central Parking garage doesn't make you miss your flight.
Terminal A has TSA PreCheck lanes and dedicated Delta Sky Priority screening for eligible passengers. On peak Monday mornings, the standard lane at Terminal A routinely exceeds 30 minutes. PreCheck clears the same peaks in 5–10 minutes. If you fly Delta twice a year, PreCheck pays for itself.
Terminal A includes a main concourse plus a satellite concourse connected by an underground walkway with moving walkways. Gate-to-gate walks between the concourses can add 5–7 minutes, so check your gate on the departure board rather than assuming proximity from your check-in location.
The $29 advance rate is the single best parking deal for Terminal A travelers — but it's capped at a limited number of spaces, and holiday weeks sell out a week in advance. Book at park.massport.com as soon as you have your flight confirmed. See our Central Parking guide for the full reservation walk-through.
