Again, we're into a seasonal demand issue. People got used to all widebody LAX-MIA service because at the time (2 years ago) there was zero demand for widebody service to anywhere except the largest cities in Europe thanks to 'rona. That is no longer the case. There is ample demand for TA widebody service (both above and below the cabin deck).

The 77W F seats are in horrible shape and the J ones are so-so. With regards to lounge access, there are several options even when Mint doesn't offer it (domestic Mint that is; international Mint now does qualify for AC access).

Out of luck in that case. Only lounges in T5 are Be Relax and the Aer Lingus one (daily passes for $50 I believe). Sorry but I don't fly Mint for lounge access.

At BOS with the B-C connector open as of a few days ago you can just walk to the AC post-security.
