Re: Boston Aviation - 2023

Anyone know why Delta had a bunch of diversions today? DL803 diverted to JFK, DL408 & DL893 to ALB, and DL2833 diverted to PIT twice. The only other Boston bound diversion I saw was a Netjets from SAV that ended up in ESN.

Re: Boston Aviation Thread - 2019

Sounds like an opportunity for EK and KE to (permanently) upgauge. Or perhaps a completely new airliner: BR, CA, CI, etc. Isn't the airport itself closed? What difference would it make for other carriers to upgauge if the ultimate destination airport is closed due to demonstrations? Unless there ar...

From what I hear, the 787 is not very comfortable due to the entertainment boxes under the seats. In contrast, I hear the A350 is really comfortable. Haven't heard remarks about the 777/A330. Really depends on the airline and configuration for that. JL's old layout (no prem econ) had boxes. Wasn't ...
