Where to go into in the Boston Area

BTW, only BED and BOS have ILS's. The others have non-precisions. I'd call around if I were you.

LWM has an ILS RWY 5, 200' DH

I know, but I wasn't refering to LWM. Who would want to go near that ********************hole of a city?

LWM is actually in North Andover, MA. It's a very nice town, I know, I grew up there.

I apologize for offending you and the town of North Andover. But Lawrence is still a s-h-i-t-hole! And probably the farthest away of all the satellite airports listed for the original posters issue.

I always let the passengers decide which suitable airport to go into (and I decide what is suitable for the airplane). I price everything associated with the trip, all the options available, and let them decide. It is our job to determine and present all possible safe options, no matter how expensive. If someone is operating a corporate jet, then it should be obvious that they value their time greatly and the closest airport may make more sense to them than the cheapest.

That being said, I appreciate the information - this is what I was looking for.

BED all day long so long as time to the meeting/event is not the problem. Getting in to BOS usually isn't a major problem. It is the outbound that usually gets us the most delays. Heck, BED is worth it just to keep from going through the security screening at BOS.

Depending on what size plane OWD might do your trick. Close enough to the city (same as BED) but with three ways to go. Either mass pike, through dedham, or up 93.

Depending on what time you get there it could literally be 2 hrs to get into the city. If you're talking outside the city it could be a lot less. But i've seen traffic backed up on the mass pike for 10 miles and not moving a foot.

One thing you're not factoring in.

The cost of a limo ride into town from BED versus the landing fees at BOS. They are about the same. A cab ride from signature boston is about 13 bucks into and 19 coming out. With tip.

A limo with a wait will cost you far more than the landing fees of a midsize jet.

Oh ps I live in the city so i see this every day.
