In March 2025, Air France closed its lounge at Boston Logan Airport (BOS), so that it could undergo a renovation. There’s now a positive update, as the refreshed lounge has just opened, and it looks like a huge improvement over the old facility.

Great news. The old one was an absolute dump and I remember the BA lounge refusing to take QR J customers too.

Boston-based traveler here - Related to bruh's comment, I can't help but feel terrified at the prospect of being redirected to this lounge on future QR flights after experiencing the BA lounge alternative.

@Ben - do you think this will happen, or will this be Skyteam/priority exclusively moving forward?

@ The Other Nick -- Sadly I don't think there are any changes here, and it's my understanding that Qatar Airways will continue to send its passengers to this lounge.

What a bizarre situation with BOS.

You have Delta refusing AF/KLM business class passengers to the Delta One lounge, so they have this outstation lounge instead

You have the BA lounge refusing QR pax, so QR contracts with the AF lounge.

And CX also doesn't use either the Admirals Club or BA lounge, so they end up using the Delta SkyClub.

Feels very sterile and not cosy at all. Also that white is going to age like spoilt milk.

@ yoloswag420 -- Hah, that's pretty funny. Strange indeed.

I like Air France, but the bright white lounge concept is overwhelming. Darker tones (a la Delta One lounges) are much more calming and pleasant spaces to spend time in.

Weakest Air France lounge location in North America? Did they close the one at IAH then? Looking at pictures only, that lounge looks even more grim...

The Priority Pass crowd will have that place overrun in no time.

The old AF lounge also accepted priority pass. Does this update mean they have changed that entry access too?

it's all about money. alliances don't equate to lounge access on an equal basis

Strange and against the ethos of being in an alliance…

Yeesh. Why does it look so bright? Reminds me of the waiting lounge at a car dealership. Glad it’s an improvement but not too exciting.

Do you think AF will ever re-open their lounge at ORD? I guess with the Skyclub there, they may feel there is no need for it…

Was just there around noon. I know it's supposed to open at 1PM but from the outside doesn't look like they are fully ready yet, still deliveries. Maybe a lite experience today. But my bet would be go to SkyClub instead, leave this to be crowded for PP users.

If you ever been to this overcrowded basement lounge before you'll want the bright white.

The old lounge was disgusting. It wasn't even worth the walk to the end of the terminal to get to it. We'll see if the refreshed version accepts Priority Pass and if the hours really start at 1pm. The old lounge opened in the morning, which was honestly the only benefit if you flew out of Terminal E during the morning hours on a flight like BermudAir or Allegiant.

No they won’t as the DL lounge is more than sufficient.

This used to be the place to go with non-Chase priority pass when flying economy from terminals B/C/E. Otherwise Delta One and Chase Sapphire are far better lounges than this.

Two weeks ago this lounge was still closed so as an Air France passenger I was sent to the Delta Sky Club lounge (not One). It was very nice, I’ll miss it!

Is it a lounge or a dentists waiting room? It always baffles me why so many lounges are so bright? Aren't they supposed to be relaxing. Paris is full of dimly lit cosy bistros with nooks and crannies to enjoy a wine in. More of that and less of the shopping mall-rest-your-legs-for-a-few-minutes vibe.

We accessed it a couple years ago on an Iberia PE trip to BCN by using Priority Pass. It was a dump then; like they say, you really can’t put lipstick on a pig.

+1! I love how BA doesn’t accept QR pax, but they do accept Icelandair pax! Thankful that LH has started accepting TK and ITA pax as sometimes the walk to the Chase Lounge isn’t worth it!

The lounge size issue probably has to do more with Logan Airport's geographical constraints. The airport is shoehorned into a peninsula. It's not just lounges that are space constrained. Roadways are also a mess due to lack of room.

I grew up in Boston, before moving to LA 40+ years ago after college. I've flown into Logan several times/years during that time. No matter how often they reconfigure, there's just not enough real estate for the passenger volume it handles.

There is enough real estate.

It just tax payers and tree huggers are not going to be happy about the solution.
