Arriving at Logan now
How do I track a flight arriving at Boston Logan Airport?
Enter the flight number, such as DL 1234 or B6 432, in the tracker on this page. Once the aircraft is airborne it shows live position, altitude, ground speed and an estimated time to Logan, refreshed every 30 seconds. For scheduled times, gates and baggage claim, also check your airline app. If you have booked a Boston Limo Car Service pickup, we track the flight for you automatically.
How the flight tracker works
- 01
Enter the flight number
Use the two-letter airline code and number shown on the ticket, such as AA 100, or the ICAO call sign, such as JBU432.
- 02
We find the aircraft live
The tracker reads ADS-B position reports that aircraft broadcast every second, collected by a worldwide network of ground receivers.
- 03
See the arrival estimate
When the aircraft is heading to Boston, we estimate minutes to Logan from its distance and ground speed, plus time for the approach.
- 04
Book or adjust your ride
One tap books a pickup for that flight. If you are already booked, your chauffeur sees the same live data.
What each status means
| Status | What is happening | Typical time to the gate |
|---|---|---|
| Cruising | At cruising altitude, en route | Depends on distance |
| Descending toward Boston | Started the descent, usually 100 to 150 miles out | About 25 to 40 minutes |
| Final approach to Logan | Lined up with a runway, a few miles out | About 5 to 12 minutes |
| Landed at Logan | On the ground at BOS, taxiing to the gate | About 5 to 15 minutes |
When to head for the curb after landing
| Your trip | Allow after touchdown |
|---|---|
| Domestic, carry-on only | 10 to 20 minutes |
| Domestic, checked bags | 25 to 40 minutes |
| International at Terminal E | 45 to 90 minutes, depending on customs |
Your chauffeur times the pickup to these windows. Text when you have your bags and the car pulls up at your door. See our pickup guide by terminal.
How flight tracking protects your pickup
- Early arrival: the pickup moves earlier and your chauffeur is already nearby
- Delay or diversion: the pickup moves with the flight, with no call needed from you
- Gate and terminal changes are checked before your chauffeur heads to the curb
- Meet & greet chauffeurs wait at baggage claim at the right time, not hours early
Tips for finding the right flight
- Use the flight number on your boarding pass, not the codeshare partner number
- Regional flights often fly under the operating airline’s call sign, such as Republic (RPA), SkyWest (SKW), Endeavor (EDV) or PSA (JIA)
- A flight appears once it is airborne; before departure, check your airline app
- Private and charter flights use the aircraft registration, such as N123AB
About this data
Positions come from ADS-B broadcasts received by community-run ground stations and shared as open data through adsb.lol. Coverage over land in North America and Europe is excellent; over oceans, positions can be delayed or missing until the aircraft is back in range. Arrival estimates are calculated by us, are approximate, and are not official airline or FAA information.
The tracker is maintained by the Boston Limo Car Service dispatch team, who follow Logan arrivals around the clock to time our chauffeurs’ pickups.
Flight tracker questions
Is the Logan flight tracker free?
Yes. It is free to use, with no sign-up.
Why can I not find my flight?
The aircraft may not have departed yet, may be over an ocean outside receiver range, or may fly under a regional operator’s call sign. Try the call sign from your airline app, or check back after departure.
How accurate is the arrival estimate?
It is based on the aircraft’s current distance and ground speed plus typical approach time, so it is usually within a few minutes once the aircraft is descending. Airline apps show official gate arrival times.
Do I need to send my flight number to my chauffeur?
Add it when you book and we track it automatically. Changes to your flight do not need a call.
Does it show departures from Logan?
The board highlights arrivals on approach and counts departing traffic nearby. Search any flight number to see its live position.
Where does the data come from?
From ADS-B signals broadcast by aircraft, collected by a worldwide network of ground receivers and shared as open data.
