No shower in BOS... that would be the one thing I'd say the larger satellite club could use. Other than that, a kitchen etc is very unlikely to happen. The rest of the amenities are on par with other clubs, and I'd argue that BOS is much nicer due to not being packed or overcrowded, and also having excellent agents.

As an aside, I thought they killed the menus at JFK T4 anyway. When I was in there recently the kiosks to place orders were all removed and there were no menus for food, only bev. They had the expanded buffet offering with a couple additional hot choices like ATL E/F.

Good observation. I noticed the expanded buffet @ JFK, but didn't realize that replaced the menus/meals. BOS could surely accommodate an expanded buffet and a few showers in the larger club. I'm sure the Business crowd catching an evening flight to Europe or even longer west coast flights (SLC & LAX) would appreciate the expanded buffet and showers.

While we're dreaming, imagine what they could do if they built out the space that was going to be the satellite BusinessElite lounge, combining it with the existing satellite SC to create a mega-Sky Club. I have no expectation that it'll ever happen, but wouldn't it be nice?

That'd be pretty sweet, as well as if they added a SkyDeck like JFK has. With BOS being surrounded by water it sure would be nice May-October. Don't foresee any expansion ever happening unless MASSPORT reallocated some of the SkyTeam carriers to A once WN moves to B. Even without an expansion some slight comestic branding updates would be a pretty easy fix, as well as additional food/expanded buffet.

I was very impressed by the large international departure area skyclub in Boston. Great food choices pleasant staff and they rolled out shrimp lobster and salmon on a cart to try. Good job Boston.

If you have time check out both - food & beverage is the same. The Satellite club is substantially larger and a lot less likely to be crowded (the A7 club can get VERY crowded especially during the morning and afternoon peaks). Views from the Satellite club are also much better (the A7 club only looks out over the terminal's interior).

Yeah, the main one services a lot of the BOS-JFK/LGA shuttle flights so gets busy for business times and can fill up. Still never had a problem getting a seat in there however, even when it looked full during irops events.

Satellite one is a lot bigger, although it doesn't have seating at the bar if you prefer to hang out there.

Definitely crowded tonight given the Irrops. Just curious, when are they actually going to make the improvements to the SC? I've seen the little 'pardon our appearance' papers on the walls for months. Will there be any renovations? Or maybe 'enhancements'?

This going to sound a tad crazy but I am going to be flying Delta (with checked luggage) into Logan in the morning from Richmond and have a flight on JetBlue Mint that afternoon and my plan was to check my luggage over at JetBlue than go hang out in the SkyClub but it seems from what I am reading that you can't just seamlessly move between terminals at Logan post security like you can at a lot of airports. Is my plan at all feasible?

I don't believe there is any airside connection between A (Delta) and C (JetBlue).
There is a Priority Pass lounge in C.

I would just head over to Jet Blue in terminal C and check out the (3!) Priority Pass lounges that are airside (C and E are connected airside, so you can check out the Air France lounge in Terminal E).

Does anybody know if the SkyClubs will be operating normal hours on July 4th? I don't see it addressed anywhere on the Delta site.

Wondering if any updates. Does both lounge have same food for breakfast. Is satellite still less crowded with great views. I remembering hearing they were going to renovate satellite?
