Manchester-Boston Regional Airport (MHT) sits 55 miles north of downtown Boston in New Hampshire. Despite its distance, it attracts Massachusetts travelers willing to make the drive in exchange for faster security, cheaper parking, and sometimes lower fares.
Airlines at Manchester Airport
MHT offers service from Southwest Airlines, American Airlines, and a few other carriers to major domestic destinations. The route network is smaller than Logan's but covers the most popular leisure and business destinations.
The Case for Manchester
Manchester Airport consistently ranks as one of the easiest airports in New England to use. Security is fast, parking is cheap ($8–$12/day), and the overall pace is relaxed. For travelers based in the North Shore, Merrimack Valley, or northern suburbs, the distance to MHT can be comparable to fighting Logan traffic.
The Case Against Manchester
The route network is significantly smaller than Logan. If you need nonstop service to Europe or a major hub connection, Logan almost always wins. And the 55-mile drive from Boston adds real time and cost to the journey.
