Review: Air France Lounge Boston Airport
We flew in the same day from New York, so arrived at check-in about three hours before our scheduled 9:15PM departure to the Azores. Azores Airlines departs out of Terminal E at Logan Airport, and their check-in area was around the center of the terminal. While there was a bit of a wait in the…

Sounds similar to my Air France lounge experience when flying BOS-DUB a few years ago. We were flying Aer Lingus in business class but our flight ended up being canceled (!)

We used the AF lounge via Priority Pass and I can confirm that it's way better than the Aer Lingus lounge in the same airport
MA has laws banning self-service alcohol. If you get table service at a club, which includes a bottle at your table, the staff is required to pour every single drink for you.
I've always wondered if this lounge is breaking the law or there is some special airport exception.
Great overview, Lucky!
Can I access this lounge on arrival if landing at Terminal E and later connecting to a domestic flight in Terminal B?
Unfortunately I think most, if not all, of the other lounges at Terminal E in Boston also lack natural light. When I was last there a few years ago the BA and Virgin lounges had no exterior windows at all.
@ Bgriff
The new BA, EK, and LH lounges have plenty of natural light. You're thinking of the dungeon underground. BA and LH have closed their lounges there and all that's left is VS and another priority pass lounge.
Pretty sure every single international lounge in BOS I visited had self pour alcohol so might be an airport thing.
Worth noting is that the electric outlet situation at the AF Lounge is pretty bad.
Did I see "beef franks with vegetable" as the main hot entrée in your photo? Please say it ain't so!
BTW does Logan still have that public area with the white rocking chairs overlooking the tarmac? I always liked that. I think it was in the terminal used by American.
Is there an airside access to terminal E via shuttle from Terminal B.. in order to use LH lounge on a domestic UA flight
Yahtzee is correct, the main terminal in E has a better outlet situation than both this and the other PP lounge. Both are very sparse.
Not C though. The Jetblue area is a disaster. Outlet policy of 1980, where only vacuums existed.
I will be flying to Boston Logan for work next month, and I am considering checking out the Air France Lounge. Since I will be flying Southwest, I will departure out of Terminal A. Does anyone know how easy it is to go back and forth between Terminal A and E?
@Nfd, no there isn't. BOS has no airside shuttles. The only terminals accessible to one another airside are C/E via a walkway, and the alternate sides of terminal B, where UA and AA depart from.
The Air France lounge doesn't have brie and doesn't have champagne? Wow. A first.
@Kenny The lounges in E are post security, so I do not think you can access them without a valid international ticket. TSA may tell you to go to the proper checkpoint. If you do get in, you will have to leave E, walk over the skybridge to A and then go back through security in A.
That prosecco is a joke. I'm actually shocked AF allows that.

Members only club. That's probably the reason.
Looked pretty poor. Like Boston, it rains constantly, grey overcast,, and frumpy folks. The lounge reflects Boston, not France.
Logan Airport, Boston, is our 'home' airport and we have used many of the Business Class lounges there over the past 20 years. The one that now includes Air France is at the bottom of the list, in my opinion! Lots of Hainan Airlines flights departing before our /Air France flight, meant that the lounge was quite crowded, seating, lighting is poor; restrooms were not as nice as in the regular airport and at 6 pm definitely needed some cleaning. The desk personnel seemed hassled and overworked although they tried their best to be pleasant. Choice of food and drink was probably good if you were starving, but otherwise, we found it best to stick to water.....but then we could look forward to the AirFrance onboard meal and beverages, so that certainly influenced our decision!
