Transfer between Terminals E and B at BOS?
I hope this is the right place to ask this question, if not please accept my apologies.
Is there a way of going between Terminals B and E at Boston while staying airside, i.e. without leaving and then re entering security?
Many thanks in advance for any insights you may have!

Terminal B is a separate building, not connected to any of the other terminals, except by bus on the street afaik. Because of the airport layout, with one-way roads that make a loop, I think the bus goes from Terminal E out of the airport to the blue line T (subway) station, and then returns to enter the airport roads again, stopping at Terminal A and then continuing on to Terminal B (which actually has two sides, each separate from the other).

(Slight side note...the AA and US sides of Terminal B are now connected: http://www.massport.com/news-room/ne...ctor-april-30/)

Also, during most times, the bus that connects the terminals (Bus 11) does not stop at the subway, so it would go from E to A to B. During off-peak times, Bus 55 operates, which does stop at the subway station.
Finally, as noted above, the two sides of Terminal B are now connected, both landside and airside.

As I alluded to above, you can walk among any of the terminals, and to the Hilton, via the central parking structure and connected Habitrail tubes but that is not much help to the OP who wanted to go E --> B airside.

From the diagram above, I must have driven right past the new pedestrian connector at Terminal B, and not noticed.
