Oh if wishing made it so - I've never gotten that lucky, and fly this route a handful of times a year. This would be a change I'd like ^

and we have had this discussion multiple times. BOS does not have the $ to support the p.s. fares that JFK-LAX/SFO command. hence why p.s. is only on the NY-california markets.
B6 has publicly stated that BOS-SFO is a possibility for Mint once they've deployed fully on the JFK side.

Holy cow. I read this thread and checked my rez in Nov, and sure enough there was a aircraft change. ^ Hope it sticks.
I posted in another thread that BOS-SFO/LAX upgrade list had may be one upgrade cleared, so yeah.

do you really think UA is going to dump millions into converting planes just so BOS-SFO can be p.s.? i doubt it.

To follow up on my post above. This is one data point, but at this time, all F seats LAX-BOS on Oct 13 nonstop is sold out. This is on B739, so 20 F seats. Sure, there may be mileage purchase or instrument upgrades, but I'm sure many of the F seats were bought, and there is very little or no chance of CPU.
I found out that there are 5 carriers on this market (AA, DL, UA, VX, B6), four with F. Interesting to see how the market will play out.

It's also an intl aircraft on tomorrow's 12 Nov BOS-LAX, although it went from F4 A4 at T-26 to F2 A2 at T-24.5 to F1 A1 at T-23.59 (we were looking to SDC 2 pax into "A" at roughly T-23.50…)

Flew it last week - the seatbacks had the flyers for the premium wines, but I didn't actually ask whether they were catered as PS or not. 15th on the CPU list as a 1K on a Friday morning, so seems like there's a fair demand for premium or high fare classes on this route.
