NOTE: “...the newly renovated Admirals Club, which re-opens in early 2019 (mid to late January) after an ongoing colocation project is completed. This will move all American flights to the same terminal with one ticket counter and one baggage claim, and with all gates in the same area, for a seamless customer experience in Terminal B.”

Hi all!
I'll be flying FRA-BOS on LH in a few weeks that arrives around 1:30pm (flight is scheduled to land around 1:05, but seems to run late). I've booked, on a separate ticket, an AA BOS-PHL flight that leaves at 3:15pm. I do have GE and should have precheck.
From my understanding, it's probably quickest to take the pedestrian skyway from E to A, traverse A, and back up to the skyway for the quick hop to B. Is that a good bet? Do all B security points have precheck?
I'll do OLCI, but does anyone know what time bag drop closes for the flight? I can't remember if it's 45 minutes or a hour before departure.
Thanks!

I have two questions that are completely separate, on separate trips, so I'll do two posts in succession.
For a trip starting BOS-LAX, I understand which check-in area to use, but what's the best way to name it to a hotel shuttle driver? I can think of B2, American to LAX, or American 2nd stop.

We're booked BOS-PHL-FCO on an award, on Labor Day in September. The schedule change has given us an hour to connect at PHL, and I'd like more time than that, with my wife asking for disability assistance. If I ask for a departure at 1.25, do you think we're safe with an intercity bus arriving at Logan at 11.50, if the cutoff for checking bags is the international one of T-1 hour? Perhaps if we get a wheelchair attendant on entry who can help speed us through. The alternative, taking the same bus, would be a 2.55 flight, giving us just under two hours at PHL. I'd prefer for the longer wait to be at the TATL departure point. We hope we can get our boarding passes online, since we've flown AA on these passports before.

You don't mention if you have status / flying Business and/or have Pre-Check, any of which will speed up your overall process and give you even more cushion. Even without these, however, I think arriving 90+ minutes at Boston gives you plenty of time to make your flight. In fact, it's probably a bit more time then you need in BOS. You should be fine with a 11:50 Logan arrival. For the BOS > PHL flight, remember, you want the low numbered B gates. It's the first American stop in the Terminal B 'U'.

BOS Admirals Club Closing (LUS side of Term B)
I noticed in last month's Admirals Club Newsletter that one of the BOS Admirals Clubs (low B gates, on the LUS side) will be closing soon. I can only assume this is to complete the renovation work before AA consolidates on that end of the terminal, at which time the club will reopen.
I've been on a break from travel so I have not been able to ask the AAngels, but does anyone know the scope of the renovation and how long it is expected to take? Since Terminal B is connected airside, it is still possible to use the other club, but it's an extra 10 minutes each way to do so (less time if on the shuttle, of course).

In the mean time, the United Club is a nice alternative for shuttle flights and low B flights.

Has anyone attempted to check bags at the LAA ticket counter for a Shuttle flight? BOS is my home airport, but I’ve never had occasion to do so. But, if you can do this, it saves one way of the trip around the U.

Sorry, I've checked on the 'wrong' side of B before, but never specifically for the shuttle. I always thought that the shuttle was a different baggage handling, but I could be very wrong about that. I only think that due to the time it takes to get luggage from the shuttle has been way faster.
