The tent has been gone for some time now. Pretty sure you will have to use stairs and buses. I did see several wheelchair assist departing but the people still had to use stairs to enter the planes. I traveled 2 months ago but I do not think much has changed.

bran--are you on Jet Blue? Apparently Jet Blue and possibly one of the Canadian airlines, actually have a ramp going to the plane. NOT a jetway, but an angled ramp. Obviously easier than stairs, but not as easy as a jetway. If you're not on Jet Blue, it is stairs, which can be a big hassle I know.

We were on AA coming down in April and it was definitely stairs, which, btw, I hate because of my phobia of heights. Going home we were on JB and boarded using the ramp Carol spoke of - sort of like the mazes inside the terminal but on a slant, allowing them to maximize the number of people compacted into a small area.
Respectfully,

Pretty sure they have carry chairs they can use to get you out if you can't do the stairs or ramp. I use wheelchair due to the potential longs walks, but can manage the jetway stairs and they had wheelchair waiting. But I think I did see the carry chair somewhere along the way.
Flight back to island 2 weeks ago was Jet Blue - stairs front and back but have had ramp in the past.
