Unfortunately I fly the YYZ->BOS and BOS->YYZ routes on the regular and if anything this situation is getting worse. The normally short line for security for B1-B3 was around the corner and a long way down the corridor today catching a number of folks on the ~6:30 flight out. To boot the Ozone restaurant is undergoing renovation (I assume Legal Seafoods over on the other side is still there though).

Any update on Air Canada changes at Terminal B. Agree with above comments, it is a tiny area and pain to go in there. Plus now there is a restaurant available to priority pass members inside terminal b but can't access it due to AC being at separate gate at terminal B

You can access other parts of terminal B with AC boarding pass but you'd need to reclear security at the AC gates after.

This is from a Massport report on the Terminal B Project:
"The Proposed Project would also enhance customer service and convenience by providing a seamless post-security terminal connection from the core of Terminal B, Pier B to the existing Gates B1 through B3. As shown in Figure 1-2, Gates B1 through B3 are located in the northwest corner of Terminal B and are currently served by a separate security checkpoint, thus passengers flying out of these gates are currently separated from the other Pier B gates and concession areas."
Apparently the renovations are being done to allow American to consolidate their gates with US Airways, but I do not know if it will impact United and the lounge.

Re: BOS, these changes will be welcomed by me even if I rarely fly there now and now not on AC.

There's lots of detail about the project in the environmental assessment that was done (here: https://www.massport.com/media/2420/...17_final-2.pdf)
From a schedule perspective, there is budget allocated to the project for 2018 & 2019, but not 2020 (ref: https://www.massport.com/media/2771/...al_program.pdf, search for L1375). In other words, they expect it to be all complete by 2019.
When I was last there, I asked the concierge if she knew whether the AC gates would be moving to be closer to the United gates. She said she hadn't heard that they would .... but she agreed it would be a logical move, once all the terminal B gates were linked.
Time will tell.

The three AC gates (B1-3) are not really close to B4 or any other gates, but I guess they would be close to the new American Lounge. Maybe American would prefer to have those gates back??

My brother almost missed his BOS-YHZ flight the other day because he wasn't expecting a big security lineup. He's been flying home for Christmas for the last 20 years and has always been able to zip through security at the AC gates very quickly. Not this year. He said that he had to wave at the GA who was paging him while he was putting his shoes back on. Oops.

It hasn't been completed yet as of 3/25. I think a while back I saw some sort of documentation from Massport saying Q1-Q2 of 2019. But we all know how construction usually gets delayed.
