Very Early Cab or Rideshare to BOS from the Seaport District
I have a Saturday 7:33 AM departure from BOS Terminal B in a few weeks. My hotel is in the Seaport district of Boston. Are Uber or Lyft rides from the Seaport district easy to find very early in the morning, and when should I plan to depart from the hotel to get to BOS (I have TSA PreCheck)? If rideshares are not easy to find this early in the morning in downtown Boston, is there a cab or airport shuttle that anyone can recommend? Most reviews of them on TripAdvisor aren't recent.

I wouldn't worry about rideshare availability. If you are concerned, you can pre-book on Uber or Lyft, or ask the hotel to call a cab in the morning. But I'd doubt you'll wait more than 5-10 minutes even in the middle of the night for a rideshare pickup. If you are traveling light and are near a Silver Line stop in the Seaport, you can also take that bus (~$2) direct to the terminal. Depends on which terminal you're using but I've continued my pre-pandemic routine of showing up around 90 minutes prior to takeoff no matter the time of day (no checked bags) and never had a problem. Good luck.
