There is no BOS-MSY non-stop either.

I wrote a blog post on hubs and routing recently. Check it out: http://boardingarea.com/blogs/unroad...-focus-cities/
How do you explain these non-stop routings and the fact that they exist?

BNA-TPA
BNA-SAN
BNA-RDU
BNA-LGA
BNA-DCA
BNA-BDL
BNA-ORF
BNA-JAX

I could go on, but these are all non-hub to non-hub routings. You would think if multiple daily JAX-BNA nonstops exist, there might be a nonstop from BNA to BOS. Apparently, there is not enough demand for a non-stop and I find it curious.
