Speaking of B6 transcons, does anyone think this is the last summer season for BOS-SMF on B6? They are dropping JFK-SMF in the fall. Oakland A's are moving to West Sacramento for three years so SMF is going to have increased traffic seasonally. I do not think that would be the major factor in keepin...

I didn’t expect ATH to have the highest LF out of any transatlantic route (DL or not). No wonder it’s going daily this year. Given that strong of a route I’m honestly surprised DL doesn’t extend the schedule and run it from March 1st - Jan 3-4 even if they scaled back from daily after the summer sc...
Jump to postHoping QR does well with 11x weekly flights into/out of Boston. Turkish did pretty much the same thing with BOS last year (maybe it was in 2022), but it apparently didn’t do well enough to try again. You cannot really compare the two airlines especially when serving the US. Geography and traffic fl...
