If looking at a GC map, BOS-LAX passes literally over MDW. No difference in mileage (2611). BOS-DEN-LAX adds a whole 5 miles, and BOS-MCI-LAX adds 9.

I don't see why WN would bother with competing in the BOS-LAX nonstop space when, if they felt like it, they could easily have 3 same-plane one-stops per day.

If you don't think BOS-LAS would work, you might wonder how ALB-LAS nonstop works.

TN may be Red, but Nashville-Davidson is Blue.

They have a few like BWI-SAN. The latter apparently has a good amount of business traffic because of the military or government. Also, there is no competitor on the route.

From BOS, B6 and VX are an alternativeto the legacy carriers i.e. United, and they offer IFE. I don't know what WN would bring other than the nice change fee policy.

Any Chance of BOS-MCI? I doubt B6 would try it. I just did BOS-DCA-MCI-PHL-BOS on US and thought the airport to be a ghost town in Terminal A.


It could could connect with some other western routes if done at least 2x/day. PDEW is typically 250-300 throughout the year.

Drive DL and the Compass E175 off the route!!
