Status of BOS terminal? Still need to show up early?
Last month I was buying tickets for a post-Dec 18th trip and there was an alert at the top of the website saying that because of construction at the BOS terminal, we should show up at least 2hrs before domestic flights through Dec 18th.
It's not Dec 18th, but the alert isn't there anymore. Have things returned to "normal"? Should we still be showing up extra-early? FWIW, the flight in question is 9:40am on a weekday.

I'd say for Boston one should *always* show up early because it could snow, or the Red Sox could win, or a host of other reasons 
AFAIK the construction has died down, but I've successfully avoided BOS for a few months now so I can't say for sure.

Terminal C can be a pain around the morning rush regardless of construction. I know that the construction is ongoing. They rebuilt the north side, should be finishing if not already finished with tearing out the center portion and should be working on the south side soon.
Eventually, JetBlue will have all of the south side, west side (the current location of the counters), and about half of the north side. The center will be made into a lobby, similar to a hotel lobby with sofas, chairs, and tables.

I flew in and out on 10/31 with no issues whatsoever.
I find that in situations such as this, if there is a serious delay issue, you'll get an email from JetBlue as well as few weeks before the flight. All Summer long and part of Spring, I was getting emails about the runway construction at JFK and to be prepared for flight delays. A very nice touch considering I never once saw that from any other airlines.

I got similar emails from DL for my JFK flights, and regularly get them when there is construction/etc at other airports (cough, LAX, cough cough).

I get emails from JetBlue sporadically for JFK... I used to get them for every flight but now maybe 25% of the time. Which is a good thing. I understand JFK is, has been, and will always be a mess!
