What if you could go through airport security before you got to the airport?

For most travelers, one of the most stressful parts of air travel is getting to the airport and waiting in line to get through the security checkpoint.

But what if you could park your car off-site, check your bags through their final destination, go through security screening and then get on a bus that takes you directly into the secure side of the airport?

That’s what the folks at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) have in mind.

For a pilot program set to begin in the Summer 2026, Logan Airport plans to test a new service for passengers using the Logan Express bus from Framingham, which is 23 miles and at least a half-hour ride from Logan.

Passengers will be able to check their bags at the remote bus stop AND go through security screening at the remote bus stop as well.

Then, once they’re at the airport, they’ll get dropped off on the post-security side of the terminal and head to their gate.

Will it work?

There’s no reason why not.

Many cities and airlines already offer secure remote check-in for bags at parking lots, at in-city locations such as convention centers and on cruise ships.

And American Airlines offers Landline service, which offers motorcoach service between a handful of regional airports and Chicago O’Hare (ORD) or Philadelphia (PHL). For those trips, passengers check their bags and clear security at the remote airport and then travel to ORD or PHL.

We’re looking forward to seeing how Boston Logan International Airport’s remote terminal works.
