The woman, identified as Kamila Dolniak, was restrained by the crew during the flight yesterday, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
The six-and-half-hour Flight BA 213 originated from London's Heathrow Airport.
British Airways officials said they believe the woman was intoxicated and they did not believe the incident was related to terrorism.
"We do not tolerate abusive behaviour," a statement said while describing the passenger "unruly."
Police met the plane upon landing at Boston's Logan Airport yesterday.
A clerk set bail at USD 1,040 for Dolniak. She had not posted bail by Tuesday evening and, as a result, was being held overnight at the state police barracks at the airport, Fox News reported.
Dolniak is expected to be arraigned in a Boston courtroom later today.
Earlier on Tuesday, four passengers were removed from a Baltimore to Chicago flight because of "suspicious behaviour".
