Boston to Orlando Flights (BOS to MCO): Nonstop Guide

Boston to Orlando is a direct, roughly 3-hour flight with no time change. As of recent schedules, JetBlue, Delta, American and Frontier fly nonstop from Boston Logan (BOS) to Orlando International (MCO), with JetBlue usually offering the most departure times. Boston and Orlando are both on Eastern Time, so the clock on landing reads about 3 hours after you left. JetBlue's schedule shifts the most around school vacations, so check times for your exact dates.

Who flies Boston to Orlando nonstop

• JetBlue flies from Logan Terminal C, its Boston base, and lands at Orlando's Terminal C, the newest building at MCO. Both ends are JetBlue's own terminals, which keeps the trip simple.
• Delta flies from Logan Terminal A and arrives at the B side of Orlando's main terminal.
• American flies from Logan Terminal B and also arrives at the B side of the main terminal in Orlando.
• Frontier runs a low-cost option and uses the A side of Orlando's main terminal. Its basic fares include only a personal item, so price a carry-on before comparing.

Orlando's main terminal (A and B sides) and Terminal C are separate buildings linked by an automated train, so check which one your airline uses before you arrange a pickup or return a rental car. For Delta's wider network, see our Delta Air Lines page, and for American, our American Airlines page.

Providence and Manchester instead of Logan

Logan is not the only New England airport with Orlando nonstops, and the drive to East Boston at rush hour can take longer than the flight's taxi and climb.

• Providence (PVD): JetBlue, Breeze and Southwest fly nonstop to MCO as of recent schedules. It often suits Rhode Island, southeastern Massachusetts and the South Shore.
• Manchester (MHT): JetBlue and Southwest fly nonstop to MCO. It suits southern New Hampshire and the Merrimack Valley.

On the Florida side, Orlando Sanford (SFB) is served mostly by low-cost airlines and sits north of the city, farther from the theme parks than MCO. Compare the drive before you choose it. The fare grid on this page lets you compare BOS with these airports for the same dates.

Getting to Logan

Logan sits close to downtown, so public transit is often faster than driving through the tunnels. The MBTA Blue Line stops at Airport station, linked to every terminal by a free Massport shuttle bus. The Silver Line SL1 runs from South Station straight to the terminals. Logan Express buses run to the airport from several suburban lots and from Back Bay. Allow about two hours before a domestic flight, more during school vacation weeks. More on the airport in our Boston Logan airport guide.

School vacation weeks and winter weather

Massachusetts schools take a February vacation week around Presidents Day and an April vacation week around Patriots' Day, and Orlando is one of the most popular trips from Boston in both. Flights on the Saturday a vacation week starts, and the Sunday it ends, are usually the first to fill, especially for families who need several seats together. Christmas week and July are busy too.

Winter adds a second risk: a nor'easter can ground flights at Logan, and de-icing adds time on cold mornings. Morning departures have more chances to be rebooked the same day if something goes wrong. If a storm cancels your flight, our guide on what you are owed after a cancellation explains your options.

Orlando has its own weather risk: the Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30, and summer afternoons bring heat and thunderstorms. Weeks with no Massachusetts school break tend to be easier to book and calmer at the parks.

ID and fare rules before you pack

This is a domestic flight, so there is no passport control or customs. At the Logan checkpoint, adults show a star-marked REAL ID license, a US passport or passport card, or another TSA-accepted ID; plain licenses stopped working for flights on May 7, 2025. Children under 18 traveling with an adult need no ID at TSA. If an adult forgets theirs, TSA ConfirmID is a paid fallback (terms on tsa.gov). Our REAL ID guide has the full list.

Basic fares differ more than the headline price suggests. Delta and American basic fares still include a full-size carry-on but assign seats at check-in, which matters for a family sitting together. JetBlue's Blue Basic rules have changed more than once, so check jetblue.com. Frontier's basic fares cover only a personal item. Read what Basic Economy takes away and our airline baggage rules guide before you book.

Landing at MCO and reaching the parks

Most Boston travelers head straight for Walt Disney World, Universal or International Drive.

• Rental cars are on site at both the main terminal and Terminal C, and most families drive, because the parks are spread out.
• Rideshare and taxis load on the ground transportation level. Walt Disney World is roughly half an hour away by road in light traffic, and Universal a little less.
• Brightline trains leave from the station at Terminal C for South Florida, handy if you are adding Fort Lauderdale or Miami to the trip.

Disney's free airport bus, Magical Express, ended in 2022, so plan your own transfer.

Flying home to Boston

MCO is busiest on Saturday and Sunday mornings, when park visitors leave together. Allow at least two hours, return your rental car to the terminal your airline uses (JetBlue at Terminal C, Delta and American at the main terminal), and pack a winter coat in your carry-on for a January or February landing at Logan.

Tips for Boston travelers

• Choose JetBlue if you want the same airline at Terminal C on both ends and the most departure times.
• Price Providence and Manchester against Logan, adding the drive and parking.
• Book February and April vacation weeks early; those dates fill first.
