While the UK decision seems like good news for B6, the UK hasn't exactly had a stellar track record with consistency over international travel policies recently, so it's not impossible that the vaccination exception will go away at some point. And AIUI you still need pre-travel and post-arrival tests, so I'm not going to rush to book my M&S run just yet (as much as I want to)...

They will probably be at 3x JFK-LON and 2x BOS-LON. I assume they will try to have 1x LHR from both airports, but they still need to secure the LHR slots.

I forgot to mention but that was what they mentioned for next summer. I'm sure by 2023, that number would be higher.

Do we think there will be service BOS-LON for summer 2022? Currently looking to book a trip and B6 wants a small fortune to connect in JFK.

Unless we have another pandemic even worse than the one we have now, I think you can bank on BOS-LON service next summer. I'd wait until probably April. I think they are still working on securing LHR slots for BOS.
