SYR-BOS on Jul 11th

As seen on flightaware.com, flight 1264 (normally AUS-BOS) flew from SYR to BOS today. Anyone knows what's the deal?

I'm pretty sure it was just a diversion due to weather.

Yes. It was reported as a weather related issue.

Makes sense.
Can't wait for this route to become a reality (am I dreaming, or is there any chance?)

I've been hearing that it is in the works. Maybe late this year once we get more 190s online.

Yeah, funny enough jetblue want nonstop BOS-SYR. I can't tell you enough for while either way BOS-SYR.

I'll add another vote for SYR-BOS. I've flown the US VomitComet enough for one lifetime. Also, I'd add Chicago to my wish list from SYR.

I just did an overnight in SYR, it was my first time in SYR for an extended period of time and actually in the terminal. Nice airport SYR has, and really night that we have our own gate area seperate from the rest of the gates. Not to mention the hotel we stay at gives us a nice brown bag breakfast and other airlines don't get anything! I don't know if it was in the contract we signed or something the hotel does but it was really nice. ^

BTW N830MH you need to tell us when you get Silver Medallion on DL, I wish I got frequent flyer points for working the flight

JetBlue's entry into SYR has done wonders for air travel from here. US used to have a virtual monopoly to and from NYC and really gouged us. I once flew from LGA to SYR and was the only passenger (fortunately on someone else's dime) due to the ridiculous prices and stomach churning turboprops. Now, B6 is adding a fourth flight to and from SYR and we fly in comfort. Ain't capitalism grand?

I wouldn't call all of the taxpayer-funded incentives thrown at the LCCs by the Syracuse mayor evidence of capitalism. Lot of good that did with TransMeridian and Independence.

I swear to god I got on the BOS-SYR "Plane". I thought it was world-war 2 surplus.

Of course being able to watch us land(No cockpit door, as no flight attendant) was rather interesting.
