Speaking of flying to Florida in/out of season, we flew the direct DY flight from CPH-MCO in January / March this year, but I just noticed yesterday that the route does not exist on the schedule after October 24th.
What's up with that?! I've tried to google to find out if DY is dropping this once-per-week route completely, or if they plan to make it 'seasonal' and, if so, why in the world would they drop it for the winter if they have plans to bring it back in the summer?
It was a perfect itinerary for us (for a winter trip to our Florida home) and I will be very sad if it is already cancelled after one year.

I know the Boston route is still very new but I was very surprised travelling back on SK928 last night and only 12 people in SAS GO (everyone got a row each). FWIW Business seemed very full though. I hope this route can be sustained because it is a great destination

BOS now it has ESTA machines is fine, much more quicker than EWR or IAD.
It is however a small immigration hall, so YMMV if you arrive together with a few other large planes. Never any nonsense when I use BA203.

Arriving on SK927 after a few wide-bodies (Qatar & Virgin I think) made immigration painful and it was 45min-1hour for US/Repeat ESTA line. I am sure I was just unlucky though..

Saw some travelers on the same plane which cleared the normal immigration faster than me.
Anyway, I just found out the best thing about Global Entry (next to the fast immigration) is - you don't get stamps in the passport anymore

You would think it would be easy to fill 80-90 seats with the CPH hub from BOS.

Good point. I just took a peek and I'd have the same problem. Looks like there are a lot of JetBlue flights to my usual destination, but I wouldn't be able to connect with SK/Star on a single PNR.

SK can interline with B6 and even AA on some fares, if you have a TA with half a brain its easy peasy...

It appears SK simply hasn't updated their website booking engine to connect in Boston in either direction. I have a few itineraries coming up where I was also surprised not to see Boston in the list of connection options. There are a few AC destinations that make more sense to/from BOS instead of EWR.
Wether this is simply not done yet or done on purpose as a result of only flying a small aircraft I do not know.
