I did a search but nothing obvious in the last 3 years.

Arriving Terminal B (US) departing Term E (LH in F). From my research it appears that we'll have to take the bus b/t terminals and re-clear security at E. Correct?

Few related questions,

1. How long does this type of connection normally take? Arrive 5:30pm and depart 8:30pm which obviously is plenty of time but I'm considering a later incoming flight with 1:25 connecting time.

2. Which lounge is a better place to spend the time, US in B or LH in E? If US lounge is still "dry" then skip this Q.

3. Is there a priority security lane in term E? How are the queues?

I lived in Boston for 5 years but obviously never had to connect there! Thanks in advance.

Bus will take 5 or 6 minutes; could walk it in 15 or so.

US in B is still dry. Views are much much better -- and there is about 5X the space -- than the basement LH one in Terminal E. Get your point though.

There is a priority line. 5:30-6:30 is a pretty busy time but you won't face anything awful.

In my experience, it's just as fast -- and far more convenient -- to walk than to take the bus. Best route from B to E is via the Central Parking garage; follow signs to Central Parking (not Terminal B parking), then once in Central Parking follow signs to Terminal E.

I agree walking is fastest. I would not do the 1:25 connection myself, even though it should be possible.

From Terminal B, you want to cut through Terminal A before going to Central Parking to get to Terminal E.

When you arrive at Terminal B, exit the terminal and take a left. Walk down the sidewalk to the end of the terminal building, where you'll see on your left an entrance to the walkway that takes you to Terminal A and Central Parking. Go up the escalator, across the walkway, and follow the signs directing you to the left to Terminal A. When you get to Terminal A, go down the escalator, walk the entire length of Terminal A, and then go back up an escalator, following the signs to Central Parking. Then just walk straight, right through the Central Parking garage, and you'll see the signs to Terminal E.

It sounds far more complicated than it is. It's really quite easy, and 10 to 15 minutes at most.

(Here is a map (http://www.massport.com/logan-airport/inside-airport/Pages/logan-interactive-maps.html) of the airport. The blue lines represent the walkways, which will make it clear why cutting through Terminal A makes sense.)

I agree that 1:25 is risky for an international flight and Blumie's route is the way to get to Terminal E. Most of the way is on moving walkways. You also have the option of stopping at the Hilton hotel on the way to E where you can either grab a quick workout or a better meal than what you can find in the terminal or in my opinion on LH.
