Lounge Name - Admirals Club
Access rules – Standard access rules.
Facilities – It's not all a dump, really
. After presenting your credentials, pass to the right of the desk and go into the farthest room in the back. Still looks like a dump, but turn right, go through the door marked "additional seating" and the floor magically turns to marble. This is the former Flagship Lounge (First Class) section which is now a part of the regular AC. It has nicer furniture and is generally quieter than the main section. Otherwise, this AC has showers (in the nice section), the usual staffed bar, work cubicles, and lack of free food.
WiFi - The whole airport has "Logan WiFi" for a fee and won't allow the usual T-Mobile in the AC. You can, however, connect to T-mobile through one of the wired ports in the computer cubicles. Use your own cord or ask at the front desk and they'll loan you one. Sometimes, they'll even throw in a free T-Mobile day pass if you ask nicely.
Other - Not sure about (non-AA) elites, but for lowly paid QP members, they usually won't give you your two drink chits unless you ask.
According to
this thread (I haven't been to the airport since last week) the two sides of AA are now connected at BOS so the following is of historical interest only:
Also, if you're flying from gates B22-26, aka Siberia, it's hard to access the AC unless you've got lots of extra time to clear security twice. These gates, which service regional jets to NYC, WAS, and others, along with the odd mainline flight, aren't yet connected airside to the rest of the AA gates, and there's no longer a bus connection either.
