Terminal C is JetBlue's hub at Boston Logan, plus a handful of smaller domestic and international carriers. If you're flying from Terminal C, the closest parking is the Central Parking Garage — a covered 5–7 minute walk via the Level 4 pedestrian bridge. For price-conscious travelers, the Economy Parking Lot connects to Terminal C via the free Route 88 shuttle at a lower daily rate.
Terminal C sits on the east side of Boston Logan International Airport and operates as JetBlue's primary Logan hub. It handles a heavy early-morning and late-evening departure bank — JetBlue runs redeyes to the West Coast and Caribbean, plus a dense schedule of shorter domestic flights throughout the day. The terminal has two main concourses (C1 and C2) linked airside, with additional gates used by other domestic and select international carriers.
For parking purposes, the practical question is simple: do you prioritize a short covered walk, or do you want the lowest on-airport rate? Central Parking sits directly between Terminals B and C and crosses into Terminal C via a covered Level 4 pedestrian bridge in about 5–7 minutes. Economy Parking is cheaper by roughly $9/day at drive-up rate but requires the free Route 88 shuttle, which adds 10–15 minutes door-to-door.
Most Terminal C travelers on short trips book Central Parking. On longer trips, the cheaper daily rate at Economy (and at off-airport lots) usually wins out. See our full Logan parking rate comparison for a side-by-side breakdown of every option.
Two Massport-operated lots serve Terminal C travelers directly. Both are on-airport, both accept advance reservations at a discount, and both are open 24/7. The difference is walk vs. shuttle.
Best for short trips, early JetBlue departures, and weather-disrupted travel days.
Best for 4+ day trips and travelers with light luggage who don't mind a shuttle.
From the Central Parking Garage, Terminal C is one of the closest walks — along with Terminal B. The Level 4 pedestrian bridge is enclosed, climate-controlled, and lit 24/7. It passes directly into the Terminal C check-in hall on Level 3, so there's minimal level-changing aside from escalators at the bridge end.
| From | To Terminal C | Time | Transit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central Parking (Level 4) | Check-in Hall | 5–7 min | Covered pedestrian bridge |
| Terminal B Garage | Check-in Hall | 7–10 min | Pedestrian bridge via Central |
| Economy Parking Lot | Terminal C curb | 15–25 min | Free Route 88 shuttle (every 15–20 min) |
| Rental Car Center / MBTA | Terminal C curb | 10–15 min | Free Blue shuttle (every 5–6 min) |
Massport publishes identical rate sheets for the Central Parking Garage and the Terminal B Garage (both $46 daily max), and a separate rate for the Economy Parking Lot ($37 daily max). Advance reservations cap at $29/day across all three for a limited pool of spaces — book early, especially for holidays.
| Lot | Daily Max (Drive-Up) | Advance Reservation | 7-Day Drive-Up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central Parking Garage | $46.00 | $29.00 | $322.00 |
| Terminal B Garage | $46.00 | $29.00 | $322.00 |
| Economy Parking Lot | $37.00 | $29.00 | $259.00 |
For a 1–3 day trip, Central Parking at $29 advance is the clear winner — you save $120+ on the advance rate vs. a $46/day drive-up at the same garage, and you skip the shuttle. For trips of 4+ days, Economy at $29 advance ties on price but adds shuttle time. For 7+ day trips, check off-airport lots, which typically offer daily rates below on-airport Economy — rates and availability change, so check the operator's site before booking.
Terminal C is built around JetBlue — it's the airline's Logan hub and the dominant carrier in the building. A handful of smaller domestic and international carriers also operate from Terminal C gates.
| Airline | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| JetBlue | Primary hub | Domestic + Caribbean + select transatlantic |
| Cape Air | Regional | Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Provincetown |
| Aer Lingus | International | Dublin service (arrivals may clear at Terminal E) |
| Etihad Airways | International | Abu Dhabi service |
| Silver Airways | Regional | Select regional routes |
| TAP Air Portugal | International | Lisbon service |
Terminal C has a few quirks worth planning around — mostly driven by JetBlue's early-morning schedule and the mix of domestic and international traffic.
JetBlue operates a dense 5:00–7:30 AM departure bank out of Terminal C. Security lines peak around 4:30 AM. If you're flying then, aim to clear the Central Parking gate by 4:15 AM and be at TSA by 4:45. The Level 4 bridge is open 24/7 and fully lit, so pre-dawn walks are comfortable.
Aer Lingus, Etihad, and TAP arrivals typically clear customs at Terminal E, then release passengers airside or curbside. If you're picking someone up from one of these flights, the meeting point is usually Terminal E, not C — regardless of which gate their flight used on departure. Confirm on the Massport arrivals board before you drive.
Boston winters bring snow, ice, and occasional nor'easters. Central Parking keeps you indoors the entire way from car to check-in. Economy Parking requires a walk to the shuttle stop in whatever weather you've got — which is a material difference in February. Shuttle frequency can change in severe weather, so check the Massport alerts page on storm days.
On a 5-day trip, Central at drive-up rate is $230 and Economy at drive-up is $185; off-airport lots are typically cheaper still, though rates vary by operator and date. If you can secure an advance reservation at $29/day, Central becomes hard to beat. Always check the full rate comparison and the operator's site before committing.
