Review: British Airways Lounge Boston Terminal E
After my mom finding out the first destination…Beijing!!!! AND that she was flying on Cathay First with my dad!!!!!! We stopped in our first lounge: the brand new British Airways Lounge Boston. This is a part of BA’s new expansion at Logan in Terminal E. Apparently they built out the space to accomodate up to 3 A380s at one time! That’s pretty impressive. The lounge is very nice as well. Is it over the top? No. Does it have a lot of brand new seating and a champagne bar? Yes. It was also a great place to sit, have a sippy sip, and get excited for the flight! Here’s a look at the brand new British Airways Lounge Boston Terminal E
So who wore it best? I’m giving it to my mom 😉
After making your way down the hallway there is a check in area. It was so late that no one was there. Our flight left Boston at 1:45am and we entered the lounge around 11pm. It was quite empty.
The Deets:
- When: April 2017
- Where: Boston Logan, Terminal E 4th Floor
- Access: First and Business Class customers
- One World Sapphire
- One World Emerald
Miles was so excited for the surprise trip.
And that the lounge was so empty.
The food options were non-existent, but there were many areas where it would be served. And plenty of seating options.
Snacks, beer, wine, and soft drinks.
I was really impressed with how the staff kept the food replenished even at such a late hour. Shortly after I snapped the pics I saw her come out with more food.
A special Concorde dining area for First Class passengers.
It was closed while we were there.
The Champagne bar was pretty awesome. Except for it being closed 🙁
Work stations.
I still don’t understand how he types like.
Additional drink station.
There was one shower. Somehow it was being used…THE WHOLE TIME. That’s a lot of shower.
Overall:
This is bright, new, and very solid business class lounge. I wish we’d visited when more food was available, but we had some great treats at the Intercontinental Boston before we headed to the airport. If you have time to kill before a flight you won’t be disappointed as British Airways did a nice job with the space.

We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.
Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.
Main Cast:
Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.
Supporting Cast:
Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on.
The Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card is great starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.
If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex® and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Chase Ink Business Cash® , Chase Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into the Sapphire Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners
Annual fee remains quite low at $95 a year and if you use the $100 Annual Chase Travel Hotel Credit via Chase Travel℠ you’ll wipe out that annual fee every year. It has great bonus categories and other useful statement credits to enhance your travel.
One thing that is a bummer is Chase lowered the transfer ratio to World of Hyatt from 1:1 to 4:3.
