Multiple stops on DL itinery ex-US to Europe
I've found a fairly good fare from Florida to LHR/London in April. The reason it is cheaper is likely because of the stopovers, and routing. Delta quite often drops fares on these unpopular routes. My route would be PNS-ATL-BOS-LHR .. the ATL segment is expected (asI have to change planes to get to Europe.
However now my flight stops in BOS For this stop do I have to disembark w/my carry ons, and wait for an annoucement to re-board? Or even more likely, the BOS-LHR fight is sitting at another gate/concourse.

Even if the plane was the same (unlikely, but perhaps they have a 767 or A330 in rotation between ATL-BOS that ends up flying BOS-LHR), they will indeed make you get off the plane. I don't think Delta does any true "direct but not non-stop" flights (meaning you can stay on the plane) anymore.

Check whether your flight is operated by Delta or is a Delta codeshare flight number operated by Virgin Atlantic. If the latter, your ATL-BOS flight will land at Terminal A while your BOS-LHR flight could depart from Terminal E, the international terminal, which is a 10-15 minute walk outside security from A.

Fort international, it might be a security rule that everyone must get off the aircraft and take all belongings so that the aircraft can be searched for anything left behind by a person who is not continuing on the next segment.
