The only international routes that you would need to connect through LAX as opposed to any other hub are SYD and ZIH. Until December, you would also need to go through LAX to get to LIH on DL metal. But, otherwise, you can go through another hub that is closer to BOS. I like to have the domestic flight be as short as possible if I'm going international.
But if you can fly D1, then it isn't quite as important to minimize the domestic flights IMO. I'd rather fly BOS-LAX-INTL all in D1 than a shuttle flight to JFK or DTW, etc. Seems like DL is more focused on the domestic market for this decision.

BOS-LAX is getting D1 on 1 or 2 daily flights!

Curious timing as UA starts with BOS to LAX with premium configuration around that time after having, of course, flooded BOS to SFO with premium configurations on both 757s and 777s...
