Tips for this route

  • American, Delta, JetBlue and Alaska all fly PHL to BOS nonstop, so compare the total with bags before picking the lowest base fare: the difference between a basic and a standard economy ticket is often less than one checked bag each way.
  • Departing on a Tuesday averages 20% less than a Friday on this route. If your dates are flexible, shift the outbound by a day or two and check the calendar view before you book.
  • Fares on this route are usually lowest 4 to 8 weeks before departure and rise sharply inside two weeks.
  • At 280 miles this is a short hop of 1h 5m, so an early-morning departure, which is usually the cheapest and most punctual of the day, costs you little sleep.
