Travelers will also enjoy the concourse's contemporary design and conveniences, highlighted by accessible in-seat power and a variety of comfortable seating choices.

Gate B25. Just came back from an event United hosted for elites to preview the terminal. Good looking terminal, and they put on a good event. I will try to post some pictures later.

There was a brand-new 737-900ER on display - it was just flown in from the Boeing factory in Seattle last night. The manager inside told me that as of the end of June, there will be no "dark" airplanes - every one will have at least Wifi, streaming entertainment, DirecTV, or traditional video/audio. We'll see...
Oh, and the United Club is really nice.

Yes, great views of planes taking off/landing, both in the general area and the UC (the UC is just on top of the general area). I don't know which runway I was looking at... maybe 9/27?

The terminal is gorgeous as well as the club. I honestly would get a gate pass and use the club and snag a drink even though the booze is pretty much swill. Unobstructed runway views and one can definitely see planes taking off and landing. My one caveat would be there are no showers - which seems ridiculous for a brand new buildout and the redeye transcon flights but "management" only wants showers at the hubs.
It will be interesting to see how the self tagging and self boarding stations work in the upcoming months.

Did they end up opening the outdoor patio? I think they were still in discussions with MassPort / TSA as of a month or so ago.
