Cancellation Chaos: Tropical Storm Lee Grounds Numerous Flights at Boston Logan Airport

Many flights scheduled to take off from Boston Logan International Airport were called off as Hurricane Lee, currently reclassified as a post-tropical cyclone, moved along the Massachusetts coast on Saturday.

Over 90 flights originating from Logan were affected by the post-tropical cyclone, with its southern edge lingering near Nantucket as it travels northward towards Canada, as reported in the flight status section of Massport’s website.

Massport’s website advises passengers to verify their flight status with their respective airlines in anticipation of adverse weather conditions.

BostonAirportExpress.com may have to suspend or cancel some services to Nantucket and New Hampshire areas. If the conditions are not favorable it will be risky to undertake the service. Whenever a prior reservation is canceled we will issue complete refunds. For modifications in reservation, you can do it online on our website at no extra cost.

Lee, currently advancing northward at a speed of 25 mph near Canada, boasts sustained winds of 80 mph. It is anticipated to bring potentially damaging wind gusts reaching up to 60 mph to Cape Cod and Nantucket. Along the Massachusetts coastline, there’s a chance of minor flooding, substantial waves causing hazardous rip currents, and the possibility of trees and power lines being knocked over.

Nantucket is poised to face sporadic power outages due to adverse wind conditions and potential street flooding stemming from heavy rainfall and elevated tides, according to statements from the town and country. Both National Grid and Verizon have deployed additional personnel to the island to address any issues. Significant disruptions in travel to and from the island are expected on Saturday, and the situation may persist into Sunday.

In Dukes County, encompassing Martha’s Vineyard, officials strongly advise individuals planning weekend travel to closely monitor The Steamship Authority ferry company’s website. They are encouraging those with travel needs to consider making their arrangements before Friday, as conditions are expected to deteriorate.

The list of companies canceling flights on Saturday includes Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Air Canada, Cape Air, Jet Blue, and United.

In response to the anticipated severe weather in the eastern part of New England due to Lee, Jet Blue has announced its intention to waive flight change and cancellation fees as well as fare differences for customers traveling from Boston, Portland, and Providence from Friday through Sunday.

Cape Air passengers traveling between Friday and Sunday are also offered the option to switch to an alternative flight until Monday, September 25, without incurring extra charges. The airline emphasizes its vigilant monitoring of the storm’s progress and encourages all travelers to carefully plan their trips while staying updated on their flight statuses.

Delta Airlines Introduces A New Sky Club And The Interior Views Are Fantastic.

Delta Airlines

On Tuesday, Delta Air Lines, headquartered in Atlanta, inaugurated a fresh lounge at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), marking the third Delta Sky Club at the airline’s northeastern hub. The lounge highlights the airline’s substantial presence within the airport premises.

Perched at Terminal E on the international concourse, the lounge offers a mesmerizing panorama of Boston’s iconic harbor and modern skyline. This prime location serves as the gateway for Delta’s connectivity to ten international destinations.

Spanning an impressive 21,000 square feet, the recently unveiled Club can comfortably host more than 400 passengers. Drawing inspiration from the renowned harbor, the interior design elegantly weaves in hues and textures reminiscent of Boston’s maritime heritage. Claude Roussel, the Managing Director of Delta Sky Club, noted the lounge’s distinctive ambiance.

Boasting a generous expanse, the interior architecture emulates the graceful curve of a sailboat, while wooden and metal arches gracefully delineate the elongated area into cozy and welcoming nooks. The lounge is adorned with washed oak elements that evoke the weathered wood of a sea-faring vessel, immersing travelers in the nostalgic ambiance of a classic voyage.

Hints of navy, teal, and terracotta accentuate the hues of Boston’s skyline bricks, mirroring the gradual sunset over the harbor during clear evenings. Furthermore, the Club proudly holds LEED-Silver certification, exemplifying its commitment to sustainable practices.

Passengers have the option to pass their pre-flight time by engaging in work, social interactions, or pure relaxation while enjoying diverse seating arrangements and utilizing six soundproof phone booths. The design also prioritizes comfort and privacy, as evidenced by the inclusion of two family rooms and five shower suites within the lounge’s restroom facilities. Notably, two of these suites are thoughtfully designed to meet ADA accessibility standards.

Food and Beverage offerings

Within the area, there are two complete beverage bars; however, Delta has highlighted the premium bar as particularly attention-grabbing, describing it as having an alluring “champagne-toned mesh ceiling overhang” layered with a striking backlit display for beverages.

Lounge guests can indulge in a selection of high-quality culinary delights, including a buffet of freshly prepared, seasonally influenced offerings. Alongside the standard menu, the airline will showcase local and regional delicacies, such as Boston’s iconic Necco candy wafers, delectable lobster rolls, and flavorful New England clam chowder. The Club warmly welcomes visitors every day from 13:30 to 22:45, with a slight adjustment on Wednesdays, closing at 22:15.

AAA's Report Unveils Best and Most Difficult Times to Travel in Boston During July 4th Weekend

It is advised to depart early for the backyard barbecue. Travelers are being cautioned by transportation officials to anticipate heavy traffic during the extended July 4th holiday.

AAA predicts that the Independence Day travel period, spanning from Friday, June 30, to Tuesday, July 4, will establish a new record for the number of Americans opting to travel by car for the holiday. AAA estimates that 43.2 million individuals will drive to their destinations, marking a 2.4 percent increase from 2022’s figure of 42.2 million, and a 4 percent rise from 2019’s count of 41.5 million.

The decrease in gas prices could contribute to the rise. Based on AAA’s gas price data, the average cost of gas in Massachusetts is now $3.55 per gallon, whereas it was $4.91 per gallon a year ago. AAA and INRIX, a traffic data analysis company, predict that Friday will be the busiest day on the roads, with average travel times anticipated to increase by almost 30 percent.

Major metropolitan areas like Boston, Seattle, and Washington, D.C., are anticipated to experience the most severe traffic congestion. To avoid the heaviest congestion, INRIX suggests that travelers should consider leaving in the morning or after 6 p.m.

According to AAA’s travel forecast, the least favorable time to drive on Friday will be between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Specifically in the Boston area, the peak congestion is expected to happen on Friday at 11 a.m. on Route 3 South, as traffic heading towards Cape Cod reaches its highest point.

Starting from 9:30 p.m. on July 4, rides on MBTA subway, bus, and commuter rail services will be free of charge. Officials have announced that the subway will follow a modified Saturday schedule until 3 p.m., after which it will switch to a weekday schedule.

On July 4, the commuter rail will operate on a weekend schedule, and officials have confirmed that the last trains departing from North Station and South Station will be delayed by 30 minutes after the conclusion of the fireworks.

Lately, the Lynn ferry will not be in service, and the direct Hingham to Boston ferry route will have no service as well. For detailed MBTA schedule information, please visit www.mbta.com/holidays.According to officials, on July 4, the MBTA bus services, Silver Line, and RIDE service will adhere to a Sunday schedule.

The Hingham/Hull/Logan to Boston ferry will follow a Saturday schedule, while the Charlestown and East Boston ferries will operate on a weekend schedule. Unfortun

In preparation for the holiday, the high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane on Interstate 93, connecting Boston and Quincy, will open earlier than usual. It will be accessible starting at 2 p.m. on Thursday and 1 p.m. on Friday. However, on July 3, the HOV lane will revert to its regular schedule, and on July 4, it will not be in operation.

Attention, motorists in the Boston area: please be aware that the Sumner Tunnel will undergo closure for repairs beginning on July 5. State officials caution that drivers traveling into Boston from the North Shore may encounter significant traffic congestion and strongly recommend utilizing the discounted and free transit services provided during the two-month tunnel closure.

Collision Between Two Planes Reported at Boston Airport

Collision Between Two Planes Reported at Boston Airport

Collision Between Two Planes Reported at Boston Airport

A United Airlines plane at Boston Logan International Airport collided with a parked Delta Air Lines aircraft over the weekend, as revealed by airport officials. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) stated that the incident took place around 7:20 p.m. local time on Friday, according to the New York Post.

During taxiing to a holding pad, United Flight 369, a Boeing 737, accidentally struck the tail of Delta Flight 1657, an Airbus A321. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the collision. A United spokesperson confirmed that all passengers affected by the incident safely disembarked at the gate and were promptly rebooked on alternate flights.

These are bad news for our ground transportation industry. Reduced footfall because of flight cancellations and negative incidents can cause serious business downfall. Boston Airport Express wishes all passengers a safe flight and prays for the good health of the passengers of the two above-mentioned flights.

As a result of the incident, several flights experienced temporary delays in taking off, while others had to circle around in the air until airport police and emergency services arrived at the scene. One of the regular customer’s colleagues who was traveling from New York to Boston by car with us on Friday was affected by this incident.

*Name and other details are withheld due to privacy concerns. 

Both airlines involved in the collision have issued statements regarding the incident:

A United spokesperson stated, “On Friday evening, a United aircraft’s winglet made contact with the tail of another aircraft at Boston Logan International Airport. Passengers on the United aircraft safely disembarked at the gate, and we are arranging alternative flights for them.”

A spokesperson from Delta mentioned, “While there have been no reported injuries to our passengers or crew on Delta flight 1657, the aircraft made contact with another aircraft while awaiting clearance for takeoff at the Logan Airfield. Delta teams are actively working to ensure that customers reach their final destinations tonight, and we apologize for the delay.”

American Air Travel industry prepares for Travel boom in 2024

American Air Travel Industry Prepares for Travel Boom in 2024

American Air Travel industry prepares for Travel boom in 2024

The US travel industry reeled under the impact of the Covid pandemic for two years 2020 & 2021. When the industry revived in 2022 with travelers showing a strong desire to travel in both domestic and international segments, there was an operational meltdown.  

Southwest Airlines (LUV.N) experienced significant operational disruption, leading to the cancellation of nearly 17,000 flights and causing inconvenience for approximately 2 million customers.
As a result the TaxiCab industry also suffered last year. The Christmas holiday season was affected.

According to Mr Shafan Nath, founder of Boston Airport Express -a leading Boston taxi cab service provider, “We are expecting a good turnout of both domestic and international tourists at Logan International Airport. Three consecutive years of bad business have been lethal to many of us. Last summer there were about 25% flight cancellations.”

According to AAA estimates, approximately 42.3 million Americans are expected to travel during the U.S. Memorial Day holiday weekend on May 29.

The Federal Aviation Administration anticipates a total of nearly 313,000 flights to be operated during the seven-day period ending on May 30, marking a 4.5% increase from 2022 and just slightly below the pre-pandemic levels of 2019.

TripAdvisor also reports a surge in demand for international trips this summer, leading to higher airfares to Europe and Asia, which have reached their highest point in over five years.

While airlines have shown improved performance this year, there is a shortage of air traffic controllers, resulting in reduced flights in the New York City area. To compensate for the decrease in the number of flights, carriers are utilizing larger aircraft.
