With the Big Dig debacle cutting off the thoroughfares making it easy to get to Logan airport as of late, we've associated the airport with a destination difficult to get to rather than an environmentally friendly spot in the Hub. Logan's Terminal A, which opened to Delta passengers last spring, has just attained LEED certification. The certification elevates it to colleague with Boston structures in the Seaport district and several new and renovated buildings at the local institutions of higher education. The Leadership in Energy and Enviromental Design (or LEED) certification is a federal certification that, surprise, took over a year to grant to the terminal building. Some of the key features include lights that dim when natural light is available (opposite our alarm clock that dims at night), roofing that reflects heat on days like today, glass that keeps heat in during the winter and out during the summer, and men's rooms that have waterless urinals. Waterless urinals may sound a little scary and unsanitary, but they work on gravity keeping the expended urine a blue chemical layer away from the user. It's pretty keen in our experience.

No, the "Puffer Machine" is not what you’re thinking. It was announced today that Logan Airport had installed the GE EntryScan3 which Bostonist has been told is commonly refered to as the "Puffer Machine." These scanners, installed at the newly revamped Terminal A, are able to detect explosives as people walk through it, not unlike metal detectors. Apparently these new security measures caused a bit of confusion--a woman entered through an exit in Terminal B....

Recently Bostonist noticed the influx of JetBlue ads around the MBTA stations in Boston. We also observed the changes that are set to take place at Logan Airport in the coming months when Terminal A, finally, comes online. Delta will move operations over to Terminal A and JetBlue will take on many of the gates currently occupied by Delta in Terminal C. JetBlue has been sparking some rumors for the last couple of days about...

The Back Bay MBTA stop was taken over by Jet Blue ads last week. They’re expanding their routes from the MassPort operated Logan International Airport, and taking the lease on Delta’s spot for Terminal C. Delta will move their service into the $475 Million renovation of Terminal A. With more gates and a brand new terminal Bostonist hopes two things happen: fewer delays and cheaper flights. The new terminal at Logan was designed and built with the new security regulations, stemming from the 9-11 attacks, in place.
