The Boston–Philadelphia route

For BOS–PHL we show about $69 on the low end and around $110 as a more typical one-way economy total, USD, last reviewed August 2026. A $69 one-way is a sale-shaped guide, not a fare you can screenshot and demand. Taxes, bags, and seats change what you pay on the seller site.

Distance and time BOS–PHL
Great-circle distance BOS–PHL is about 280 miles. Block time on a nonstop is typically near 1.5 hours; wind, routing, and which runway you use still move the clock. Connections on the same city pair add layover time on top of that flying.
BOS and PHL typically share the same standard-time offset (America/New_York). Daylight saving can still split them for part of the year — check the local times on the itinerary, not a screenshot from last month.
When BOS–PHL has a nonstop, that is usually the cleanest product. One-stop options still appear — they are worth opening only if the USD total is materially lower after you count the extra ground time.
Airports for Boston to Philadelphia
Both ends are in the United States: Logan International (BOS) to Philadelphia International (PHL). This is not an international itinerary, so the usual domestic bag and ID rules apply at the seller. Alternate metro airports can still beat this pair on price.
BOS is the only origin code we list in this metro. PHL is the arrival code we treat as primary for Philadelphia. A cheaper nearby airport only wins if the transfer still fits your plan. Search with “include nearby airports” when you want those codes in one results list.
