Regarding the discussion of BOS-LAX, I just noticed that some domestic first class fares are now including carve-outs for BOS-LAX along with EWR-SFO/LAX and BOS-SFO. For example, fare basis LAA2AHFN BOS-SAN says
Code:
04.FLIGHT APPLICATION
THE FARE COMPONENT MUST NOT INCLUDE TRAVEL BETWEEN EWR
AND LAX.
AND
THE FARE COMPONENT MUST NOT INCLUDE TRAVEL BETWEEN EWR
AND SFO.
AND
THE FARE COMPONENT MUST NOT INCLUDE TRAVEL BETWEEN BOS
AND SFO.
AND
THE FARE COMPONENT MUST NOT INCLUDE TRAVEL BETWEEN BOS
AND LAX.
Compared to the same fare published last week, which said:
Code:
04.FLIGHT APPLICATION
THE FARE COMPONENT MUST NOT INCLUDE TRAVEL BETWEEN EWR
AND LAX.
AND
THE FARE COMPONENT MUST NOT INCLUDE TRAVEL BETWEEN EWR
AND SFO.
AND
THE FARE COMPONENT MUST NOT INCLUDE TRAVEL BETWEEN BOS
AND SFO.
I checked a few other markets and I see the same thing. Not sure what that means...
