Brookline to Logan Airport is one of the most common Boston-area ground transportation routes — but timing varies more than you’d expect based on which part of Brookline you’re starting from. From Coolidge Corner the drive can be 20 minutes off-peak. From Chestnut Hill, on a bad Friday afternoon, it can stretch past an hour. This guide breaks down realistic timing by neighborhood, the best routes, and how to choose the right ride.
Brookline to Logan: timing by neighborhood
| Brookline neighborhood | Off-peak time | Peak time | Best route |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coolidge Corner | 20–28 min | 40–60 min | Beacon St → Storrow → Sumner |
| Washington Square | 22–30 min | 42–62 min | Beacon St → Storrow → Sumner |
| Brookline Village | 20–28 min | 38–55 min | Beacon St → Storrow → Sumner |
| Chestnut Hill | 28–35 min | 50–70 min | Route 9 → Mass Pike East → Ted Williams |
| Cleveland Circle | 25–32 min | 45–65 min | Beacon St → Storrow → Sumner |
| Brookline Hills | 22–30 min | 40–58 min | Hammond Pond Pkwy → Mass Pike |
The Brookline-to-Logan route choice (matters more than people realize)
Most drivers unfamiliar with the area default to Beacon Street → Storrow Drive → Sumner Tunnel from Brookline. That’s the shortest route by distance. But on Friday afternoons, when Storrow becomes a parking lot, the longer Mass Pike route via the Ted Williams Tunnel often gets you to Logan faster.
From Coolidge Corner, the choice is:
- Route A: Beacon St → Storrow Drive → Sumner Tunnel — fastest off-peak
- Route B: Boylston St → Mass Ave → Mass Pike East → Ted Williams Tunnel — more reliable in heavy traffic
Off-peak: Route A wins by 5–10 minutes. AM peak (7–9 AM): roughly tied. PM peak (4–7 PM) Fri: Route B wins by 10–15 minutes.
Brookline-specific considerations
- Boston Marathon Monday (3rd Monday in April): Brookline becomes nearly impassable for ground transportation between 10 AM and 4 PM. Plan around marathon timing if you have an afternoon flight.
- Boston College games: Chestnut Hill area gets slow during home games.
- Beacon St construction: Frequent. Check city alerts before relying on Beacon St routes.
- Coolidge Corner congestion: Saturday afternoons get busy — add 10 min for departures during 1–4 PM Saturday.
