  • B6 - nonstop - I class - $944
  • UA - 1 stop (various connection cities) - C class - $1859
These are not really directly comparable though. I doubt many pax from BOS to XXX are ending in SAN or from XXX to SAN originated in BOS. The seats on those planes are likely not in competition with the direct BOS-SAN flights. The availability of only C class suggests that UA is not having problems selling F seats on either BOS to XXX or XXX to SAN.
