Re: Boston Aviation - 2024

When airlines in E board via bus, is there a dedicated gate that they'll do it from?
Also, what is E1A used for? (the gate with no jetbridge) Is this where the DL shuttle from A drops off? If so that's still a long walk to E13-E16

Re: Boston Aviation - 2024

AA maintains a Saturday only summer route between BOS and YHZ. I always found it very odd that they continue to operate that and not any other Canadian destination instead.
