Woo hoo! (and a little freaky to note that Southwest is increasingly the best "car free" airline in cities like Chicago (MDW Orange Line), Dallas (DAL light rail), and Boston.
 
I just checked the Southwest website and they have a press release for the new flights:

Not sure if anything different will come of this but the UK Airport Coordination Limited has posted that there is one slot available at Heathrow for Boston Service.

Would be interesting if one of the Middle East Carriers, Singapore Airlines, or even an African airline such as Kenya Airways or Ethiopian goes for it. I'm also not sure if this for Delta's current flight or not so the speculation may be moot if its just a renewal.

Couldn't Delta also go after that slot for a third BOS-LHR frequency? Or do we think that would be too much for them?

Good point. They could but they had the two daily flights (from the original divesture from AA/BA/IB anti-trust agreement) and dropped one of them before the Virgin Atlantic deal went down. Delta wouldn't be feeding a mega hub as British Airways would be but anything is possible.

I've been told that any European or USA carrier can apply (too bad JetBlue doesn't have the a Mint Configured A321LR yet or they would be in). If a country has Open Skies with the USA and UK then they can apply with each government for the route. USA has a lot of open skies agreements but I'm not sure about the UK. Singapore definitely has open skies with both so Singapore Airlines could apply for the route. UK has some sort of air services agreement with UAE - not sure how "open" it is.
 
Does JetBlue really have a strong desire to go to Europe? They have a lot of partner agreements, but most are just booking and don't allow you to earn or spend frequent fliers. With their strong base in Boston, i'm surprised they haven't gone to a more formal agreement with some Euro airline to feed more exclusively. Right now they are 'partners' with Icelandair, Aer Lingus, Turkish, BA, and Emirates. I think they have some earning with Emirates, but not much else. I feel like they've done no prep to compete transAtlantic.
 
^Europe? Probably not. Heathrow in a A32x? Hard to resist.

You can earn True Blue points on South African, Emirates, Silver Airways and Hawaiian

Two-Way codeshare is with IcelandAir, South African, and Emirates

One-way codeshares (airline code on B6 flight) are with El Al, Turkish, Qatar (maybe going away), Etihad, Aer Lingus, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, Japan Airlines and most recently Royal Air Maroc.

There's a good chance the A321NEO-LR's are to be used to head into South America from Fort Lauderdale.
 
Hope that Someone who get's over to Logan regularly can give us a construction update -- I've not been traveling by air for a few months so the last construction I've seen was Conrac and United -- inquiring in particular about the C-E connector and E expansion?
 
The BOS-PVG flights are finally loaded and bookable.

Ranges from 1250-1600

I was at an event with a couple of Massport people yesterday (non-aviation related) The C to E project is currently the big thing going on. I didn't get too nosy though as much as I wanted too!

I also read on flyertalk that the Terminal A construction for Southwest was started at the wrong side of the Satellite terminal or they would have moved this week as well.

Piles/site work is occurring for the 10-story West Garage expansion (former Hilton lot). Final piece of the A/B pre-security connector is going through VE. Both are out to bid.

The United concourse is pretty darn nice, imo.

What type of work was required for Southwest's move over to Terminal A?


I have not flown international out of Boston directly in a couple of years. What is Terminal E like as far as crowding at the gate waiting areas and immigrations like?

A/B are already connected pre-security by the garage gerbil tubes (very efficiently)....are you sure you don't mean post-security?
