SJU expansion is unsurprising given St. George is back, curious to see how the new Mint routes do as well - some of them feel like no-brainers (e.g., JFK-PHX), but does FLL-LAS have enough premium passengers for 2x mint daily?

 

Interesting there is very little in Boston… which is probably where the most work is needed.

 

Just with the move from E190s to A220s over the next year, BOS will be getting a decent boost in capacity. I would expect BOS growth to happen next year once they have more planes. For the winter season, it makes more sense to focus on destinations people actually want to go to in the winter.

 

I'm BOS based, and honestly the issue isn't really the network or the Mint availability - both are fine and are mostly equal to/better than Delta's offerings still

The bigger fish they need to fry in Boston, in my opinion, are:

1. Some kind of corporate traveler/Mosaic enhancement - Boston is a heavy business travel city, and even a lot of the leisure travelers are using business travel-obtained points/status/general favoritism; Delta is sweeping these travelers right now and will continue to do so until Mosaic gets better/there's a premium cabin on all flights
2. Operations are generally terrible network wide, but they're amplified in BOS where DL is extremely efficient - I can't count the number of times I've been delayed on B6 while watching a DL flight on the same route take-off

Obviously, neither of those things can be fixed by routes or existing aircraft, which makes things trickier for B6 (:

 

Thank you for sharing this interesting info. As pointed out by others, it's indeed interesting that there is not much BOS capacity.

 

BOS after about 2 pm is consistently messy, especially in the summer. Terminal E is jam-packed, and it's not uncommon for foreign airlines to wait an hour or more for gates. Arguably, I will say that DL's expansion in recent years has been the leading cause of the strain as they now have almost a dozen A330s and 767s on the ground at a time. This wasn't the case pre-COVID and even just a few years ago. With TAP and Aer Lingus going out of C, too, there isn't much that can be added in the peak time slots.

The mornings, too, are a mess, every airline is towing from Cargo stands over to their respective terminal, and DL is now using E for domestic departures before noon, so there isn't much room for JetBlue to expand their RON departures past the C-E connector.

I've been flying BOS-DEN regularly for the past 5 years, and one thing that has been glaringly obvious is how seasonal BOS has become. November - March (outside of school breaks) flights can often be ghost towns, and I've been on plenty of half-full flights the past few winters.
