    Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay

    The location (and views) are very hard to beat for any hotel or condo. FS usually has 50-year management contracts with the hotel/property owners. I would argue the FS brand carries the highest premium price wise in the luxury hotel/condo property. BTW, isn't the current FS Boston property...

    Four Seasons Tower @ CSC | 1 Dalton Street | Back Bay

    How will Four Seasons manage the two properties in Boston? I know they have multiple properties in bigger cities which tend to be spread out more (London, Shanghai, LA, Istanbul, ect.), but I'm curious to see how they'll approach the marketing and culture of the two properties here. Also, what...

    Hilarious. LA lost two NFL teams. Has LA ever hosted the Final Four in the modern era? When is hosting a Final Four a standard?

    Isn't the luxury market saturated, according to the information and articles I've read?

    How much does Turkish compete on the North America/Boston-India traffic? Is there also a rumor of Qatar coming?

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    No arguments with you on the Boston feed. I don't think non-stop flights to India is a big deal anymore with all of the options now available to connect through, right?

    Yep. I think JetBlue also was a big draw for Emirates as well, being able to being connect into their hub here. Any possibility of new non-stop flights to South America?

    Do the Affordable Housing Laws Work?

    Trying to create this utopia by force and "fairness" makes things worst for the people that you're trying to help the most. How much do the local colleges play a role in this with their ever-expanding campuses and the mass of college students themselves?

    1) I agree on Korean. I think they have 787s on order coming in 2016 or 2017. 2) The tech scene in Israel is second behind Silicon Valley. This will be a huge connection, especially as Boston's is roaring as well. Will there be special check-in/screening/security boarding and deplaning...

    Sounds like a good fit. Korean Air has an impressive and rapid-expanding network in Seoul, along with a strong brand and product; South Korea and Seoul is a leading, 21st century economy with big brands making their mark around the world. Makes a lot of sense. On the Tel Aviv front, any...

    No competition compared to fighting at Logan with Delta and JetBlue on this route?

    Do the Affordable Housing Laws Work?

    Thanks for the feedback. I tend to lean towards being an libertarian politically, but I like to see ways to stimulate more housing stock in the area that creates more affordable. Wouldn't reducing zoning and planning processes help? What about better home buying financing programs for locals...

    Any chance Virgin Atlantic will increase it's frequency on the Boston-LHR route? (Also in mind that they have are now minority-owned by Delta, and at some point, I see them joining SkyTeam.)

    I get the feeling that most travelers-especially frequent fliers (business)-care more about frequencies than a 380 vs. a 787 aircraft.
