RE: SFO-BOS
I'll let others chime in on your question. Just wanted to suggest using more specific thread titles - as SFO-BOS could mean anything. This helps people sort thru threads a bit easier, and hopefully ensuring the people who have the information you need will be more likely to respond.

Boston Admirals Club
Call ahead to confirm, but perhaps a day pass to the AA Admirals Club will fit the bill. Their Boston site has showers and is located in Terminal B ...a lengthy walk from the VX gate, but a walk.. It opens at 4:45am.. I have one of the AAdvantage credit cards (that came with a bunch of points and a hefty annual fee) that includes access to the Admirals Clubs..But I think a day pass can be had for $50-$75..

I can also suggest a day rate at one of the nearby hotels. I know a couple of them offer a day rate. To my knowledge, only the AA club has shower in BOS.

If a member, yes this is possible. A day pass almost certainly won't get the same accommodation though.

Unfortunately VX gates (just 2) at BOS are in an isolated area with its own security. No other gates can be accessed from these VX gates. There are no other amenities except restrooms and a Cosi Express with terrible coffee and snacks.
Tip for departing flights: There is no TSA pre-check line for VX gates.

Maybe a day pass to one of the airport hotels is a better option.

There's also never a line...at most there are 2 flights going out of that area...Definitely the most predictable area to fly out of in Logan.
But like I said in the beginning of this thread, there are zero amenities...The Cosi in the terminal serves food that's so bad you should just wait until you are onboard. Even outside of security, Dunk's and Legal are all you've got. Terrible.
