The other day, I posted a lament on the close connections between BOS and JFK and these flights were the example. Problem is ramp congestion at JFK and the several minutes they kill putting the planeside luggage out. Then a bus ride to the terminal at JFK. It is a lousy connection at best, and a miss if the weather is at all crappy.

There should be a 230 departure from BOS to allow comfy connections to the 530PM JFK Europe bank of flights.
