Though I see that part of this change also connects C40-42 to the rest of C, which makes AS moving to B less important from a passenger point of view!

This will put Admirals Club in the same terminal for Alaska Lounge members (assuming that partnership remains).

But moving will get full B gates access sooner than waiting for construction to complete. Not that it would be a possibility as Massport needs C40-42 vacated for the construction work.

119 and up?? Did anyone stay awake through that meeting with less than dozen shots of espresso?

Hmmm, I wouldn't get too excited. If you look at Slide 126, it's pretty clear that the Pier A Admirals Club would get closed, and it looks to be a roughly half-mile walk from the Pier B Admirals Club to Gates B35-36.

Looks like Pier B would be mostly AS/WN, so maybe AS would consider taking over the AC for a BR? :

Yes, that Admirals Club is slated for closure (per the AA forum in addition to that presentation; certainly makes no sense for AA to keep that, the pmAA lounge, open when they don't have any gates over there). It's a decent walk, but not too bad. Probably 5-10 minutes airside; less landside, so you'd clear security on the AA (pmUS, where the AA gates will consolidate) side and only have to do the airside walk in one direction.

And @lawchild beat me to it, but maybe AS will take over that space.... (Not sure they have the traffic to justify it; they're marginal at JFK.) The move would also let them make an agreement with UA like they do at PHL.

The pmAA lounge is quite nice, and even has a fresh guacemole stand ^_^

Well, I just went thru the whole presentation. Very interesting- half the slides roughly are title slides, still lots of information contained.

This will be getting better for AS in June 2019 it seems. A positive development. Thanks for sharing ^

And BOS will not "at this time" create a toll for airport usage like at DFW. [@ end of presentation]

It was quite a large lounge, definitely larger than anything in the AS network. I was over on the east side by the "quiet" cube. Didn't see the lobster; noticed that the food offerings are spread throughout the club (cookies, coffee station near the quiet area; soup/salad/veggies by the main entrance, guac station by the bar, dry mix kinda in the middle).

I'd absolutely LOVE to see Alaska take over this lounge, they could make a killing with PP entry (well, if and when..)

Wow. Tho, am not happy about current state of AS terminal at BOS, am glad AS wasted minimal capital into BOS only to be moved in 2019. While only two gates in 2019, this looks like a positive development for AS (and also B6, DL, and AA). AS should consider operating a lounge at BOS someday in the future, but likely still far from priority, knowing SFO is without one. Great news developement.
