Thanks, Chad, for the offer of transport, belated thought it is :) I’ll remember to ask next time.

MBTA’s Trip Planner (under Rider Tools on mbta.com) will give you an idea. From Alewife, you want to take the Red Line to South Station, and then the Silver Line to the airport. Trip Planner estimates that at 45 minutes, which sounds about typical I think I usually leave an hour for it.

Hm, I didn’t know it was possible to take transit in to the airport. How does one do it, and how long does it take?

Next time you travel, ask around, someone might indeed be available to help courier you, even on a midday flight (*ahem*). Or rent a livery service (What they’re for). Or go the shuttle route. There’s a logan shuttle from the framingham mall area, for instance. At $18/day or $100 a week, parkshuttlefly doesn’t seem to be significantly cheaper in this case.

> $110 went to parking at Boston Logan airport’s economy lot for six days.

I haven’t used it, but when I looked into it once, third-party airport parking from parkshuttlefly.com was much cheaper than Logan.

You can also take transit in and park at Alewife for $5/day (mbta.com says “7 days maximum”), or in the likely event that the attendant is confused by someone parking there overnight, $5 total.
