Boston is the other way around - Y will typically sell out way before J. Besides it is currently serviced by a much smaller a/c. Maybe an indicator....
I was comparing like for like on the lowest fare bases. The lowest roundtrip business fare from JFK is $3696 more expensive than the lowest business fare from BOS

If demand from JFK is higher than from BOS, that would explain why the fares are higher from JFK

The fare ex BOS does not look like it is a special promotional fare that is being offered
