Empty bottle already through BOS security? Hudson in Terminal B fills the rest.
This Hudson in Terminal B runs from about 60 minutes before the first departure until 30 minutes before the last, so it’s almost always open when flights move. It’s the standard newsstand / grab-and-go setup: coolers of drinks, racks of chips and candy, a few pre‑packed sandwiches, plus shelves of magazines and paperbacks. Prices run higher than downtown Boston, especially on bottled water and soda, but it’s still the easiest spot in the concourse to grab a drink and a magazine before boarding.
Figure $4–$6 for bottled water or soda, more for energy drinks, and expect serious markups on phone chargers and headphones. On the plus side, Hudson usually stocks travel pillows, eye masks, and basic OTC meds like ibuprofen and cold relief, which can rescue a trip if you forgot your kit. Some BOS travelers report grabbing a bottled drink here, then using the free water refill stations near other Terminal B gates to stretch it.
Lines spike hardest during early‑morning and late‑afternoon departure banks, when several banks of flights leave within 30–45 minutes. Self‑checkout kiosks can freeze and need a staff override, which adds a few minutes. Healthy food options feel thin: mostly candy, chips, and packaged sandwiches, with occasional granola bars or nuts. Regulars on Reddit and FlyerTalk say they treat Hudson as backup only and avoid buying bulky souvenirs or electronics here unless their main charging cable dies mid‑trip.
Tip: bring an empty bottle through BOS security, then use Hudson in Terminal B only for what you truly forgot—think single drink, magazine, or emergency meds.
