Yes, because at least in BWI you can walk over to the other checkpoint when Pre is closed at the C Checkpoint (which is usually is for the BWI-SEA flight). The amenity selection is much more in Baltimore, but yes, the immediate gate areas are comparable.

AS Gates @ BOS -- Blegh!
Anyone fly AS from BOS lately?
Just flew on Monday evening and inbound flight (from PDX) was delayed 2 hours due to runway construction. Then catering was late which added to the delay. Then an ATC delay.
Aside from the grumble, the AS gates (apparently these are the VX gates, C40-42) are horrible. No seating, 1 set of restrooms, barely any food/dining options, etc. The agent who checked my bag told me to wait as long as possible before going in..
I actually got TSA to let me through to the jetBlue/intl airlines gates since my parents were departing on B9 and there's a PP lounge there. Much nicer place to wait.
Anyone know if AS will get a nicer gate area in BOS?

Happy reading and welcome to BOS fun! VX Moved here as well after the merger. I normally hang out and plane watch behind the Burger King and head down right at boarding basically.

Oops -- when I did a search that thread did not pop-up (at least according to my quick glance). Sorry. Can we merge or delete this thread?
Shame to hear that AS won't be getting new gates though.

I've given up flying AS out of BOS. The gate area doesn't meet my minimum requirements. Instead, I now fly UA out of the beautiful Terminal B (with a United Club as well), even though it requires a connection to get to SAN.

I certainly don't blame you. But why not fly jetBlue? They're in the good part of Terminal C and have non-stops to SAN.
