Hi all, I’m looking to book a flight home coming up next month and the prices are sky high. JetBlue has a flight to Logan but it doesn’t arrive until 11:58pm (weekday). I’m trying to think of an economical way I could get back to Worcester besides an Uber. The commuter rail and Logan express to Framingham both only run until 11pm. Any thoughts? I’m thinking no but I figured it would be worth a shot to ask the group. TIA!!

Knight’s Limo shared van? I’m not sure if it would be any cheaper than an Uber though.

It’s like $70ish I think for the shared van and their service is pretty great. Some of the drivers go a bit fast but I think you’re gonna find that with any transportation service

The Logan express from the airport runs Monday through Friday from 6:30am to midnight, last trip at 1:15am. You should be able to catch it.

Yeah, you can park in Framingham for 7-8$ a night and take the express. That's what we always do.

Isn’t Jetblue still flying it’s LGA to ORH route? Maybe change your flights to get you directly to Worcester.

They have daily flights from JFK to ORH. Still lands at midnight but at least OP would be in Worcester already. I’ve flown this route a few times and it’s super convenient.

Thanks all, it’s usually a fair option but I’ll be flying from New Orleans after Mardi Gras so the airlines jacked up all the rates out of NOLA. JB to ORH is 600 one way 😂

You don't have any nice friends or family to bother with that! I would do that! If not, I would take Knight's, since I actually worked for them briefly.

Uber and Lyft do dynamic pricing. I’ve used both from Logan to Worcester. Within a half hour of getting checked luggage, the prices are very high because lots of people are doing the same thing. I know this happens because I had a ride request accepted, and the car never showed. When I canceled and requested another ride, the price went down by more than $100. YMMV

I have tried this a couple time late in the evening, Uber prices were ridiculous.

Bus maybe? I know there's definitely one that goes as far as Framingham but I'm not sure if they go all the way to Worcester.

Gonna sound weird but look into renting a car from a place that has a spot here in town to return the next day Did that in reverse for a trip last fall and it was far cheaper from a driving service.
