Thank you for the report and photos!
As someone who goes there twice a year (at least), I am quite happy this is back and will be flying it next Friday.
Minor correction, I think the third flight is on Sundays, not Saturdays? At least I have a ticket for a return on a Sunday
BEG has been a construction site for a while now and doesn't look like that will change any time soon. Just need to exercise patience and stoicism.
I think you can enter the priority security by flashing your gold card (even the expired ones, as a friend of mine does regularly) when flying in Y.
