How to read BOS wait coverage

Live minutes

When the source publishes minute values, treat them as the current snapshot, not a guarantee for your future arrival.

Missing or stale data

If live waits are missing, suspended, or outside the freshness window, use posted hours, airport advisories, and peak-window context instead.

Checkpoint counts

Counts reflect what the official source returns for tracked checkpoints; they may not equal every physical lane or every checkpoint serving your gate.

Planning bullets

How locals actually plan BOS

Boston Logan planning is still terminal-first, even with post-security connections.

Terminals B, C, and E are connected post-security, but Terminal A remains separate, so start at the right building.

Delta/SkyTeam flights use Terminal A or E; pick the correct Delta side before you worry about the line.

If Terminal A is your drop-off, the walk to a connected terminal is longer than the published line suggests.

Checkpoint access

Which checkpoint reaches your gate?

Boston Logan says Terminals B, C, and E are connected post-security, but Terminal A is still separate today.
