Value tip: If you are flying into Boston's Logan Airport and then renting a car to Provincetown also check the airfares and schedules into T.F. Green Airport in Providence, Rhode Island. With Southwest Airlines offering non-stop and connecting flights to many U.S. cities, many Providence fares (both on Southwest and competing airlines) have dropped considerably. Driving time to Provincetown is exactly the same as from Boston and you might save hundreds of dollars while avoiding "The Big Dig" harbor tunnel construction project. (Note: If you wish to connect directly by air to Provincetown, Boston remains your only choice.)
