Ditto! I had a great time. Best food on UA in a long time 
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.

Grand prize for the raffle was two tickets to anywhere UA files, in coach. I'm somewhat glad I didn't win. It's a long way to Singapore, in coach.

Does the ticket earn PQM? RDM? Which class? X?
I don't mind S/L/K/N as long as there is a way to upgrade.

the group boarding corrals were absent from terminal A this morning. as much as everyone is excited for terminal B, it'll be interesting to see what massport does to make UA's gates and counters in A and C look like less of an eyesore over the next few months.

The ones in B will be taken over by B6. I wouldn't be surprised if Delta spreads out a bit in A.

Total rumor but WN might be moving from E to A and I'm sure B6 will rip out the check in counters pre-security C and do some type of installation and convert all gates to B6. Heard they are also potentially snagging a couple of E gates??

The space looks quite nice. I hope it works out well for all parties. I can imagine the pickup/dropoff areas in B being quite crowded, as they already were before UA moved in. Parking in B will surely be more difficlut, with the addition of the new gates.
Too bad about the lounge not having showers, especially considering the 3 red-eyes a day from the west coast. I can imagine the shower that AA can offer being a draw for some people over the UA/DL/B6/VX trans-cons.
Those lounge views do look great! Just a few more hours until the first arrival tonight.

My +1 was the one to win the tickets! I will keep you guys posted on the details once he receives more info on it. I would be inclined to say it would probably book into X or maybe even YN (too high hopes)...
I might steal one of the 2 depending on the upgrade situation.

Great club at BOS. Love the view. They had complementary champagne till noon today. Had some issue with reception on my TMobile phone at the bar, but that is a TMobile issue. Otherwise BOS staff have always been very friendly. The self boarding at the gates is nice. Just remember to press "Yes" if seated in exit row.

From what I heard, the ex UA gates in terminal C will be going to JetBlue. They are even taking over the United Club there with their own lounge.
