DL adding BOS-CDG
 

In addition to the 2x daily AF operates on the route, DL is adding a BOS-CDG frequency starting 3/26/11 on the 752. Schedule:

DL048 BOS1850 – 0755+1CDG 752 D
DL049 CDG1110 – 1310BOS 752 D

Not sure if there's enough market for 3x daily on this route.

I'd take a guess and say CVG-CDG will be canceled soon.

Is AA still operating the seasonal flight as well?

that's a lot of capacity for boston...

Looks like AA is still operating seasonal 757 service.

This route was announced a while back.
BOS-CDG will be 4X seasonal (2 AF, 1 DL, 1 AA).

"Enough market"
What about DL adding 2X to the BOS-LHR from the 7X (3 BA - 1X VX (all with much larger planes) and 3X AA).

Should be a bunch of good TATL fares and mileage bonus opportunities this spring/summer from BOS.

Provided some attractive pricing, I could easily see myself doing JFK(LGA)-BOS-CDG and/or vice versa.

AF is not bad per se, but (i) it's a constant challenge to get good seats on their flights, (ii) they seem to be quite stubborn lately when it comes to $$$.

This was announced at least 2 weeks ago, if not longer.

I wonder if PIT > CDG is in peril. Anyone know if this route is working out for Delta? Without the PIT SM/MQM promo will it be ended?

It has to be one of the last international flights CVG has. What a shame to see the hub dying this way. Now, don't get me wrong...I think it is the right biz decision, but too bad it can't stay around. The crews ex-CVG are great.

I wonder how DL will use BOS as a focus city once 787 comes on line.

I think that was couple months ago when DL announced new routes from JFK/BOS-CDG or anywhere else. I wasn't sure about this one. I think that was in earlier November when DL announced for next new TATL flight.

I wonder too, and I'm intrigued. At first I was surprised by int'l flights out of Logan Term A (i.e. AMS, LHR, CUN and now CDG) but it looks like BOS could develop as a good reliever for JFK on TATL itins. Makes perfect sense to me, and there seems to be plenty of capacity at Logan A for this to develop. The only glitch in this scenario is that arrivals have to go to Customs at Term E, which isn't too bad but would be better if there could be int'l entry at A.

I believe BOS-CDG was announced when MIA/BOS-LHR was confirmed by the DOT.

DL wanted to have customs at A when the building was massively renovated in 2005, but Massport rejected the request. I fully support the idea of having a second customs center for Terminals A and B, while having the Terminal E customs expanding to cover Terminal C.

No, CVG-CDG is staying.

PIT-CDG is going daily for summer 2011, up from 5x weekly this past summer.

Air France is cutting capacity on this route by quite a bit. The second frequency will operate for a reduced time period compared to last year, and the route will go to a 330 in the early fall. So it will be an AF 330/DL 757 in September. Last year it was an AF 744/AF 343.

The only time this will lead to more capacity is during peak summer.
