Whoa, when you say 60 minutes I assume you mean 60 minutes before departure time, not 60 minutes travel time. Walking from either of the AA clubs -- and I personally like the one near B30 better than the one near B4 (the "pmUS" club) -- and clearing precheck at Terminal A should take 20 minutes. To get to the remote A gates adds maybe 10 minutes. So as I noted upthread, I would leave the club 60 minutes before flight time. Those who prefer to walk on the plane just before the door closes could leave even later.

The PP lounges are in C and E. I wouldn't bother with any of them - nothing special, I only go if it's convenient airside and wouldn't reclear security for them. Actually, I wouldn't bother with the AA lounges either if I had to reclear security, but that's just me. The only decent domestic lounge at BOS is the Skyclub, and even it's just alright.

I go to BOS from Portland frequently. I try to arrive 90 minutes before flight time and just go right to the gate.

I'd be surprised if the difference in walking time is more than three minutes, and it may be less. From the pmAA club, you can walk in the direction of Terminal C, and there's a skybridge that cuts over to Terminal A.

Just after you pass B15, bear right and exit the secured area. Do not go down to baggage claim, but instead go straight past all of the ticket counters. At the very end of the corridor, near the Starbucks, exit the terminal onto the sidewalk and turn left. You will be heading directly towards Terminal A. If you still are able to walk outside to Terminal A -- again, once upon a time this was possible, but for some reason I think it no longer is -- just follow the roadway, staying to the left as it curves around to Terminal A. But even if not, after exiting Terminal B, walk 100 feet and there will be an entrance to an escalator vestibule where you can take an escalator up towards Central Parking (the signage may indicate Terminal A as well, but I'm not sure). At the top of the escalator, take your first left which will take you to an escalator leading down to Terminal A.

Legal Seafoods at BOS is pretty representative of their city restaurants, and IMHO, the one in A is the best of the bunch at the airport.

Always felt that the first four were hit and miss, whereas Natick and Chestnut Hill were always excellent. By the end, I only was going to those two locations. I tried the ones at Logan and Copley this time around. The Copley one was again disappointing. Couldn't tell if the prawn was not fresh or overbaked or both.

I'm at BOS fairly frequently and outside of stopping at The Club recently in E to see how it was shaping up, can't tell you the last time I visited a lounge. Only telling you this so that you don't feel like you're missing out if you decide to skip it

Legal Harborside upstairs is sublime. One of the best restaurants in Boston.
