Was on 812 in J last night and had a really lovely flight. Hard to tell about Y from up in the mini cabin and didn't wander back. But J was full up and Y looked busy enough on boarding (but apparently not enough for op-ups to push up Js to fill the empty F seats alas!). Excellent crew on a spit and polish 77W. Took off to a stunning sunset over China and landed to a rare and spectacular blue moon over the New England coast.

Clearly this great new service is going to live or die on O&D traffic. Very few if any connections available at that arrival time, especially given Logan's glacial baggage handling and gate management (we were 20 minutes early but gave that and more back waiting for a BA 747 to push back so we could have a gate).

Massport has taken Logan truly global now, and good for them, but shouldn't they have built a new international terminal first? BOS Term E is dreadful on every dimension, departing and arriving. Try spending half a summer in Asia, mostly through HKG and SIN, but even at such places as DPS and HAN.
