A380 @ bos ?
Been a few times that I get stuck on the tarmac landing at BOS in the evening and the captain explained this is because gates are being prepared for the A380 so they're not all available.
Is BA going to fly their A380 to BOS ? I saw this was discussed a while back in the forum but is there an official view from BA ?

Rather a short hop for an A-380 - I assume the idea is capacity-driven, and will allow BA to drop another rotation to free up another airframe, as they did with IAD.

And let's just hope CBP at BOS will adjust their staffing rotas to accommodate the A380s that BA and others will start flying as soon as the terminal is equipped for them! Pretty tight already when a couple of planes, of any capacity, arrive simultaneously!

I got through immigration at Logan in about 4-5 minutes on Good Friday, arriving at around 8PM. The new machines for those who were using an ESTA for the second time or more really speeded things up. Bags didn't take long either. To be fair, I was towards the front of a 777 CW cabin.
