LUFTHANSA: New Senator and Business Lounges Set To Open In Boston

In another week or so, Lufthansa will be opening new Senator and Business Lounges at Boston’s Logan Airport (Terminal E).

The new lounge is part of a wider renovation that has been taking place in ‘BOS’ and the new lounges promise to be substantial upgrades over the previous versions.

What will be new is the fact that passengers can now board their flights directly from the lounge, similar to what is in place at airports like Washington Dulles.  So you can see your A350 from your seat in the lounge!

The 6,800 square foot lounge will also introduce a new concept to Lufthansa Lounges which focuses on separate ‘Living Areas’.    For example, this lounge will offer a separate Bar, Bistro, and rest areas.    The view promises to be fantastic as well as the lounge will over look Boston Harbor.
