Emirates announced the grand opening of its 41st dedicated lounge located at Boston Logan International Airport. The lounge, which marked a soft opening in April 2017, is now open to Emirates First Class and Business Class customers as well as Platinum and Gold members of Skywards, the airline's frequent flyer programme.

As part of its ongoing commitment to Boston, the Emirates Lounge at Boston Logan International Airport represents a $6.7 million investment to provide premium customers with a seamless and enjoyable journey from start to finish.

"Emirates' lounges are an integral part of Emirates' product and service offerings for our premium and loyal customers," said Mohammed H Mattar, Emirates' Divisional senior vice-president Airport Services. "This is Emirates' fourth dedicated airport lounge in the US and a demonstration of our ongoing commitment to serving passengers traveling through our US gateways. Boston becomes our 41st dedicated lounge worldwide and we will continue to invest in upgrading this product to ensure our customers have an enjoyable journey from beginning to end."

Emirates started flying to Boston in 2014 and the service has consistently generated demand during the past three years, transporting more than 745,000 passengers from Dubai to Boston. In October 2015, Emirates started its second daily service, with an Emirates Boeing 777-300ER aircraft with 8 private suites in First Class, 42 seats in Business Class and 304 seats in Economy class, which was a direct response to demand from Emirates' customers traveling between Boston and Dubai as well as points beyond.

Passengers wishing to travel beyond Boston to onward destinations in North America can take advantage of Emirates' interline partnership with JetBlue Airways (B6) that allows increased connection options from Boston to a number of US cities.

The codeshare agreement with JetBlue allows customers of both airlines to enjoy the convenience of a single combined ticket on selected routes.
