I recently flew Level to Barcelona and it was a good experience. Went with Economy Plus as it wasn't much more than standard seats if you factor in seat selection, luggage, etc. No delays, good service.
Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

There is no Massport thread, so leaving this here. Worcester airport, which is owned by Massport, is bringing back the nonstop Orlando flights and adding Fort Myers as a new route.
Sort of OT but the time sort is all sorts (heh) of wrong on the Massport Flight arrivals and departures. The up arrow should be like the most recent arrivals but it's like 10 PM.

The mayor of Worcester wants JetBlue to launch flights from there to Accra, Ghana‽ While the 321XLRs they have on order can probably actually make it there, that's never going to be a priority - and if they were, it'd be out of BOS or JFK. Unfortunately, none of the 3 NYC area flights out of ORH currently connect to Delta's JFK-ACC service, nor United's IAD one, the only current US-ghana flights.
Really, they should be trying to get United, the last of the big 3 not serving ORH to launch a flight to IAD. Then I'd actually have a reason to use it! [Sadly, I'm usually a United loyalist thanks to their international reach]

Did I read elsewhere that they are doing away with the JFK flights to and from ORH once they add Orlando?
That is correct. ORH-JFK service is being discontinued as of June. Not terribly surprising considering it's easy to fill a plane to MCO from anywhere in the Northeast throughout the year and I'd imagine the JFK flights were being filled with all connecting traffic. Why connect via JFK if you're going to say ORD, or LAX when you can fly non-stop via BOS on JetBlue?
JetBlue intends to serve Amsterdam and made a press release - late summer for JFK and its not really clear when Boston would start. It also had an asterisk stating "Subject to receipt of government operating authority" I think that happens quite often but I thought different wording is used.

Pretty short suspensions for seasonal services on Delta. IIRC, last year and the year before they ran May to October. This is all promising!

So was looking at Logan's footprint 1955 vs. 2023. Mostly to compare the Neptune Rd/Olmsted Park (RIP) footprint. And it's cool.
Imagine how much more we could have done with our limited acreage if we had designed with transit at least partially in mind from the start.
So much of the area between the terminals is allocated for parking, storing and moving flippin' cars! The whole airport just prior to 1949 expansion fit in the rental car temple's footprint!
Thinking of the space it totally makes me want to 'Moneyball' every US airport for productivity per passenger/acre. I'm thinking Logan would be high ranking in comparison to something hyoooge like Denver.

Okay, so I Moneyballed it (because it's Friday and I was in a meeting)
Instead of OBP I'm using SAPP (Square Acre Per Passenger) Rank.(TM) Pretty simple: Size in acreage against 2019 Pre pandemic passenger counts

Daily service, that's great! Decent schedule as well, although I'd prefer slightly earlier on the eastbound.

Curious why people these times are not great. Maybe business travelers who want to get in super early for meetings? I don't travel to Europe for business and don't care for the flights that arrive in Europe at 6am, sometimes leaving me as long as 9-10 hours to kill before I can check in to my hotel room and shower. 9:30am arrival in AMS sounds fine to me.

The actual times are fine. I do prefer a bit earlier but nothing to dissuade me from booking this flight. As 737 said, there were signals and chatter that the times were going to be suboptimal but it looks like they pulled through and got pretty standard times. See link and quote below
simpleflying.com
“The temporary slots accepted by JetBlue were not at commercially desirable times, as they involved an arrival time of 3 pm at AMS (local time), which would necessitate a JFK departure time of 1:20 am (local time). Nevertheless, JetBlue’s acceptance of these temporary slots underscores its eagerness to enter the U.S.-Amsterdam air services market.”
JetBlue Granted Slots At Amsterdam Schiphol
But the temporary status of these slots continues to irk the airline.

Spirit Airlines Adds More Flights From Boston
The ultra-low-cost carrier is launching new daily service to five U.S. cities this summer.

Charlotte begins on June 7th
Dallas/Ft. Worth begins on June 7th

Edit: This lays out the new and existing flights.

Mostly connections, JetBlue doesn't have many codeshares over there so I'd imagine most people flying this won't be connecting but when I'm going to Amsterdam I want to get in at 6am so I can be on an 8am flight out to my destination personally.
