Steeped in history and originally named Boston Airport, the Logan Airport of today dates back to the early 1920s and opened its gates in 1923, when it was used mainly by the local Massachusetts Air Guard. Within four years, regular flights were running to New York and over the years, much expansion has been necessary, using landfill sites on the adjacent Boston Harbor. In 1956, Boston Airport was renamed as the General Edward Lawrence Logan International Airport (BOS), honoring a local war hero.

Present-day facilities at Logan International Airport are excellent. Onsite, passengers have a choice of more than 40 food and beverage outlets, including Bella Boston, Cibo Express, Gourmet On The Fly, Killian's Boston Pub and the Legal Sea Foods Cafe, where traditional clam chowder is a firm favorite.
