Nice to see a Canadian carrier flying Vancouver to Boston. Air Canada ran it summer seasonally for a couple of years recently.
 
Here is the schedule for WestJet's upcoming Vancouver service (flight times):

Quick turn around in Boston of 45 minutes. I'd guess this service is aimed at leisure traffic going both ways. Sometimes people forget just how big of a tourist draw Boston is for those outside of New England and the Northeast.
 
Ishrion hinted at a massive route announcement by an airline this week and if one looks around some of them are loaded.

I went to Allegiant's site and noticed Boston-Des Moines and Boston-Savannah are loaded 2 weekly in May 2025.

Apparently I am the only one in Greater Boston who would only take this flight if they ran it in the winter months to ski in BC. Vancouver and BC is beautiful in the summer but so is much of New England. Are these all Alaska cruise ship passengers? If not, are there really that many summer travelers to and from Vancouver? Anecdotal, but I never hear people going there in the warmer months unless it is a cruise or they are serious hikers/outdoors people.
 
LATAM is going to increase its non-stop service to Sao Paulo from 3 times per week to 4 times per week starting June 6.

In general....a lot more people take vacations in summer than winter. YVR looks to do higher passenger volume in summer than winter, so that does support the idea that demand to Vancouver/BC is higher at that time.

Going the opposite direction with the argument though - the airline has a finite amount of equipment, and there's a lot of winter seasonal routes to fly Canadians from Canada to warmer, sunnier places.

It's entirely possible for both things to be true:

- You could have more people wanting to fly BOS-YVR in winter.
- It could still make sense for the airline to only run it in summer, because they have an even more profitable way to utilize that equipment in winter.;

TAP Air Portugal to do seasonal Boston-Porto. Mid May to Mid October. 4 weekly on A321LR.

So that makes two carriers with non-stop flights from Logan to Porto. Impressive, even if both are just seasonal. Porto is amazing.

Over the past year, JetBlue has been cutting less profitable routes and beefing up leisure travel and seasonal routes.
