This search covers Boston Logan International (BOS) to Raleigh-Durham International (RDU). RDU's nonstop list, which shows no date, names Delta, Frontier and JetBlue for Boston; schedules change, so check the stops shown with each result. JetBlue, American, United, Delta, Breeze and Southwest have appeared in EazAir's fare checks for this route. RDU puts American, Delta, JetBlue and United in Terminal 2, and Breeze and Southwest in Terminal 1.

At Logan, Delta's domestic flights leave from both Terminal A and Terminal E, so Delta says to check the Fly Delta app or My Trips before you go through security. If you end up at the wrong one, Delta's shuttle bus links Terminal A, near gates A13 to A22, with Terminal E from 4:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. daily. When Terminal E's E3 checkpoint opened, TSA said it had seven screening lanes, with E2 as overflow. MBTA ferries from Long Wharf, Lovejoy Wharf, Hingham and Hull also serve the airport.

RDU has two terminals, each with its own TSA checkpoint. Prearranged pickups meet passengers outside baggage claim, in Zone 1 at Terminal 1 and Zone 8 at Terminal 2, and walk-up taxis wait in the taxi zones at both. GoTriangle buses stop between Zones 2 and 3 at Terminal 1 and between Zones 6 and 7 at Terminal 2. In the daytime, Monday to Saturday, the RDU Shuttle runs to the Regional Transit Center, for Route 100 to Raleigh, Route 700 to Durham and Routes 800 and 805 to Chapel Hill.

Only 4 fare checks had been stored for BOS to RDU: EazAir's first 4 ran from 28 Sep to 16 Oct 2026, each for the lowest one-way economy fare for one adult, departing 30 days later. The highest result was at least double the lowest. Breeze and United sell their lowest fares without a carry-on, though Breeze lets you add one.

Travel tips

Arrive early for domestic flights

TSA generally recommends arriving at least 2 hours before a domestic departure, more at larger hub airports during peak travel periods.

Pack a mixed carry-on

Keep a change of clothes, chargers, and any essentials in your carry-on rather than only your checked bag, in case of a delay or a bag that doesn't arrive with you.

Screenshot your confirmation

Save a screenshot or PDF of your booking confirmation and boarding pass before you travel, in case you lose signal or battery at the airport.

Check in online when it opens

Most airlines open online check-in 24 hours before departure. Checking in early can help with seat selection and, on some airlines, boarding group assignment.
