Would be great to see Singapore Airlines start service to Boston with their A350-900ULR

I often fly between Kuala Lumpur and Boston and back and a flight like that gives me mixed feelings. On one hand, I could puddle jump to Singapore and take a loooooong flight back to Boston. On the other hand, a long flight like that without stop might drive me, and my family, mad.

The longest I've ever flown non stop was Boston to Hong Kong and that was 15 hours. If they didn't have free flowing wine on that flight, I might have opened the door and parachuted out.

But Singapore to Boston - I'm guess that would be about 19 hours. Not sure if I could handle it.
 
To be fair, the SQ ULRs they deploy on those 19 hour routes like JFK/EWR-SIN are configured differently than most A350s - they lack a traditional economy cabin, being business class and premium economy only. They only have 161 seats onboard, 67 business, 94 premium economy. I flew SIN-EWR in 2023 - most folks aren't doing that with families. Granted I had a J seat so I'm not going to speak to the experience further back, but it was mostly business folks, and the price premium vs a stopping service was fairly prohibitive to anyone paying for their own ticket.

That said, Qantas and the other 17, 18 hr flights are operated on far more standard equipment with standard economy seating.

Looks like a pretty similar deal to the American article you posted upthread, with some added frequency during a holiday period. I do agree it's nice to have options.
Side Note: I'm not sure if I'm just getting better at detecting it or if authors are getting lazier but I see these types of AI structured/written articles everywhere now.

This one was painfully obvious since it was so focused on emphasizing "Patriots Day 2025" (wrong year as well) that it missed the bigger reason for temporarily ramped up flights to beach towns in the Southeast - April vacation week.

New flights are nice, but this is for just 5 days only and then they are done. Due to school vacation week, this is also the 3rd most expensive week of the year to travel from Boston (after Christmas and February vacations) so I would expect all of these flights to be extremely expensive given the low supply and high demand.

I was recently on the SQ flight from SFO-SIN-SFO. I'm not sure if it was the 350 ULR...i think it was a regular A350 cuz I was in economy class and not premium econ. I lucked out on the outbound flight with aisle seat and an empty one next to me. I believe my flight was a shade under 17 hours. It was definitely long, and at times tiring and tough, but not impossible. If I had brought better entertainment with me, it would probably have been fine.

I'm guessing a BOS-SIN flight would be very similar to their EWR/JFK segments, although I think the JFK segment runs with a stop in FRA. Boston could prolly do something like that and have a refueling stop somewhere in between.

I haven't done a 17h flight but I have done (sitting) train trips that long and yeah with snacks and entertainment it's not a problem so long as you can get up and walk around.

Maybe Delta will return on the route now that there is no competition?
 
It was the longest domestic flight in the US and I believe one of the 4 or 5 longest domestic flights in the world. With the merger, it felt like only a matter of time so they could use the 332 to backfill more strategically important routes they were upgrading to 789. Loads were fine (doesn't indicate financial performance, but I'd bet it was a small loss, or breakeven).....they're going to enter a bloodbath with non-stop flights to Europe.

Yeah, this is about the merger. I wouldn't be surprised if Delta grabs it.

I flew the BOS-HNL direct flight back in 2021. That was a looooooooong flight.

But with Alaska needing Hawaiian's 330s for their new routes, it makes sense this might be a route they drop.
 
Would delta have any desire to actually bring back a nonstop route? Or would they prefer shuttle everyone through ATL/LAX? I flew one of the last direct Delta flights to HNL earlier this year before they cancelled it, and it seemed pretty full, but I don't know what the financials looked like. I liked the timing on it (morning but not too early departure, early afternoon arrival in time for hotel check in), and I assume any flight with a layover would need to sacrifice one of those timings.

The airline is launching its first-ever service to Florida’s Vero Beach, the company announced on Thursday. Travelers can get to Vero Beach Regional Airport once a week year-round beginning Dec. 11 from Logan International Airport and New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.

The boston.com article isn't consistent with what's in the press release from JetBlue.

They added Vero Beach added Daytona Beach daily and increased a few Caribbean routes to daily year-round too.

 
American Airlines is going to extend the run of their recently announced service to Orlando. What was supposed to be a very brief 2 week run over Christmas, is now being extended to run for 5 months. Still with 1 daily B737-800 service.
