I don't think it's a huge problem unless you are in Group 2 and want a ton of time to get up to the desk and still be in "your group." The solution to the problem would likely be to combine groups...

I believe they were talking about the possibility of an airside bus at BOS/JFK. I believe they plan to colocate at LGA. The BOS B-C connector should be finished by 2022, but AA is on the far side of...

The CrankyFlyer article that JDiver linked to is great. It does imply towards the end that earning FF miles may likely be limited to BOS/NYC. Now, since a B6 customer might fly BOS-ORD-SLC, I'm not...

I see two possibilities:

1. DL is charging VS more (in dollars) for seats, so VS has to raise prices.
