Now, BOS is $249 one way.

One can find a better deal on EWR-BOS as JetBlue competes now, but reaching EWR from PHL for a short flight still seems a hassle. Some might just take the train all the way to BOS.

It really makes NK's ACY-BOS a deal, however NK is keeping it seasonal and ending it right after Labor Day.

WN dumped the PHL-MHT and PHL-PIT routes because the loads sucked and were unprofitable. Thant being the case, why would B6 want it?
