Folks - gentle reminder...let’s stay on topic please. We are discussing the 321T on the BOS-LAX route - not widebody fleet utilization, not seats on other 321 variants, not 77W routes. (A little natural deviation is obviously okay, but let’s not derail this topic too far.)
Thanks! /Moderator

I see that too. The weird part is that under current rules, 458 is considered a LUS flight number, operated by LUS aircraft. That is clearly not the case here, so I wonder if this new flight number is a sign of broader cross-fleeting to come and with it, abandonment of the LAA/LUS flight numbering scheme.

I was initially excited but the price premium over DL / UA for my travel dates is turning me off. ~$1800 vs ~$1000 r/t for business class on AA vs UA/DL on my sample travel dates. At least it is cheaper than B6. I'd only book AA here if I was using other peoples money.

Thanks for pointing out the fare difference. Has Delta always been that cheap?

So will 3-class F and J on LAX-BOS qualify for QF F and OW J lounge access respectively in LAX TBIT, like LAX-JFK? Just when we put to rest the lingering rumors that LAX-BOS could get you in!

doesn’t seem to be any clear principle to deny J 777 passengers between LAX & MIA and allow J 32T passengers between LAX & BOS.
AA gets a big revenue premium on the J 777 LAX-MIA, often more expensive than J LAX-JFK.
yet AA makes the product so much worse from lounge access to onboard pillows & blankets.
AA should invent a term, say Flagship Business, and apply it to the J cabin with flat beds on transcon routes.
Would include LAX to PHL 1 330, MIA 1 777, BOS 2 32T, JFK all.
give them flagship lounge access, catering w/ menus, intl J blanket/pillow.

Flying 321T today LAX-BOS. Can confirm that you get same lounge access rules as LAX-JFK. Was op-upped from J-F and got access to Flagship first
Crew was BOS based and really good. I don't like the times (was on the 7:40am, which is a tight connection from SFO), but really really enjoyed the flight. Hope it sticks and they add more frequency.

Both LAX-BOS flights are wide open with C inventory as well. Booked and did a miles+copay for her.

Well. One thing to report, on transcons usually you get access at the destination too. I tried to go into the AC in BOS after landing and they said no. Didn't bother to fight it, IIRC at JFK and SFO they usually let me in (I think as part of policy), sometimes I like to freshen up before heading to my final destination.
