Reaffirming it's one of the nicest clubs out there. The staff makes it special.

BOS has hands down my favorite domestic SC. I like the modernist feeling of it (all achieved without blue light) and the staff is one of the most courteous.
The only problem, they always want to break into my box of Mike's cookies!

As a general note, you mentioned possibly going to the CO Presidents Club. As someone who has been a P Club member for many years and a SC member for the past few, IMO the SCs overall have better food and are better values than are the PCs. I'm always surprised to hear the complaints about the SC in this forum when, again IMHO and based on my experiences with both clubs, the average SC is much superior to the average PC.

As has been said, it's all relative and subjective. What one person calls lousy another calls good. I like the SCs much better than the PCs, and one thing I like is the vastly superior snacks in the SC versus the PC, IMHO. The selection is much better in the SC.

The BOS club is awesome as are the staff. I've cutback my DL travel in the past year and they still remember me and greet me by name. Hopefully DL can work a mutually beneficial agreement with Massport to take the club above TSA back. Now that the CDG and LHR flights are going the SC does get busy in the evenings but with summer winding down its less of a concern.

Also the snacks were almost non-existent when I was there back in May.I too agree this is one of the best sky clubs I have been in. That said I still need to visit the new one at ATL in D and also NRT.
I will be at the BOS Sky Club tomorrow!

Agree that its one of the best clubs in the system - that I've been to at least. Very friendly staff. Being based in ATL, its a shock to my system to enter a skyclub where you don't to look around to find seating.
As for the snacks - selection seems pretty standard to me.

I don't get to the BOS club much anymore and I was more of a NW flier than DL,. I am curious if any of the Agents were retained from the NW side, they were quite good. The club is my favorate club after DTW & MSP

I was a NW flyer as well but the BOS SC is better than the old BOS WC by far. I do not believe any of the attendants are the old WC crew. I remember the redhead (Russian I think) and she was fantastic!

Actually a couple of the agents are from NW... and they were especially helpful during the integration when the computer systems were still sort of separate. One of them took care of getting an PMU processed on a DL flight with NW metal to asia.
