Fallout – find Paladin Danse after dismissing him to Boston Airport

fallout-4

Light spoilers ahead, be advised.

I killed Kellogg in the main story and had the Brotherhood of Steel arrive in the Prydwen. Paladin Danse became a companion and I was tasked to wipe out a castle full of super mutants. Now I've dismissed Danse and I'm fairly certain I send him to Boston Airport. When I glance at the map, both the Airport and the ship have one person living there. Though when I look around, I can't find him. Anybody know where I can find him? Or what area, where to look for?

I'm on PC, though would like to avoid using commands, if possible.

During my playthrough, when I sent Paladin Danse to Boston Airport he ended up behind a quest locked door that isn't opened until the beginning of the Brotherhood of Steel mission Liberty Reprimed. Unless you're willing/able to use console commands, he can't be reacquired until you start the mission and the door opens.

Obviously, the preventative workaround is to never send him to Boston Airport - use the Prydwyn (or any other location, really), instead.
