JAL will be using BA lounges (and agents) at BOS

http://www.jal.co.jp/en/inter/lounge/america/bos/

Emeralds -> BA F Lounge
Sapphire/Business/Normal Fare Y -> BA Terraces Lounge

Looks like ground agents will be BA ones too according to photos uploaded to the Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...3850783&type=1

It is supposed to absolutely pour here in BOS Sunday, so I guess nature beat the fire department to the traditional water gun salute!

Do full-fare Y passengers get lounge access on JL?

I have never seen that before.

That has been the case for most routes on JAL

I guess it makes sense. The margins on full-fare Y can probably be higher than some cheapo business tickets. And it is probably a cheap benefit to offer, as all of the lounge infastructure already exists.

Do you know of any other airlines that offer this to full-fare Y passengers?
