BOS Chase Sapphire Lounge on arrival w/ Priority Pass?
The new Chase Sapphire Lounge in Boston has unique entrance rules: unlimited visits for Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders, and 1x visit annually for those with Priority Pass through a different credit card. I've seen reports that the access for Chase cardholders is only good when departing from BOS, not arriving there. Does anybody know if the departure-only restriction applies to the 1x access for Priority Pass through a non-Chase card? I'm flying into BOS in a couple months and would love to stop in and check it out.

I think they have pre-departure visits in mind, but I'd give it a shot on arrival. I suggest that you not mention that you're there on arrival. Just hand over the boarding pass and see what happens.

To confirm original comment: On August 25th I saw a group turned away from the BOS Sapphire Lounge due to being an arriving rather than departing party. Also, crowding may be an issue at certain times. I was wait-listed for 15-30 minutes (turned out to be 20) around 4:30pm.
