i just realized my dilemma- i've got a 6:40am flight on thursday and i'm wondering how i'll get there on time, being a slave to the T without a car.

what is the cheapest cab/transportation to get someplace eaaarly?

Cheapest would be to bribe a reliable and early-rising/nocturnal friend. Otherwise, all the cabs around will charge you about the same. Call the night before for a pickup in the am and they'll give you a price quote.

Post an entry on the craigslist rideshare board. Perhaps you're not alone in your quest.

You could use a shared van service like the Airporter. Cheaper than a cab, but you'll have to stop and pick up other people, so the ride will take longer (and you'll have to get up earlier).

thanks all- great suggestions :)

The cheapest way is to go to the airport the night before while the T is still running and sleep at the airport. It's not what I would choose, though.

Oh dear. Well, given the new security measures and the ensuing bottlenecks, you will need to be at the airport no later than 5:40 AM, and even earlier if it's an international flight. Unless you've got a friend willing to drive you, it's worth it to spring for a taxi. Plan for traffic -- I'd say 4:45 AM would be about right for your taxi pick-up. Better to err on the side of early than miss your flight, like I've done.

For that time and day, there will be little traffic and likely no lines--I've gone through the same process too many times.

But anyhow, unless you're really poor I would just take the cab. The effort and inconvenience of alternative methods are really not worth it.

Eco taxis!

Call Planet Tran (www.planettran.com) or get a free quote online. I pay about $30 to get to Logan from Union Square. I think that's roughly equivalent to what, four rides on the T now?

Worse comes to worse, if you gotta call a regular cab - I would recommend Green Cab. So far I've always had fun, interesting drivers that can zip past a lot of the traffic going to Logan.
