Is there such a thing as no stupid question? If so here I go-
Not being a regular BA flyer, I find all these lounge names a bit confusing.
This new lounge is labeled as an Executive Club lounge according to the release.
How is this different from Galleries lounge, Terraces lounge, Galleries First lounge, Concorde Room, Arrivals Lounge... my gosh did I miss any
The main question is we're flying CW, we'll be able to use this lounge correct?

or computer generated with something from the same era. Looking at it though not sure that view is going to be possible from Terminal E.

Well that would indicate that the gate used will likely be E12 as looking at the layout here that's the only one where a lounge would be able to see the Boston skyline and have a connection to the plane.
Others can confirm or refute based on current observations.

That's great news. My daughter and I will be flying LHR-BOS-LHR early April (a380 for rtn flight). I hope the pre-flight dining will be good.

I'm looking forward to this lounge opening though I hope it is decently sized!! (at the very least bigger). Unless I get an extra trip in during the next few weeks, I'm next flying out of BOS in April - I'm desperately going to need a shower before the flight too so hopefully they're available! I'm currently showing up as being on a 777 though.

The Executive Club lounge concept was superseded by the Terraces concept in the late 1990s (MAN was the first one), which was superseded by the Galleries concept in 2007 (BRU was the first one), which was superseded by the British Airways Lounge concept in 2013 (GLA was the first one).
Confusingly, internally the British Airways Lounge concept is called Galleries Evolution.
I suspect the new BOS lounge will include a Concorde Dining area for First passengers, and a Club World Pre-Flight Supper area for Club World passengers, as we have seen with the IAD lounge.

OK Team, the new BOS lounge is set to open tomorrow (3/23).
Anyone flying thru that can take some pics and give a review?
Really interested to understand how the 'step directly from the lounge to the plane' works.
