It's fascinating to see Delta's big new focus on Boston. Just a couple of weeks ago the airline announced a new route between Boston and Lisbon, while now the airline is announcing yet another transatlantic route out of Boston. Delta will be adding seasonal daily nonstop flights between Boston and Edinburgh as of May 23,…

Having relocated from San Francisco to New England, I am super happy about DL's focus on BOS. I've been flying them more and more often. While I find their domestic F hard product to be not as good as UA's, soft product and customer service (and all around attitude) are a huge improvement. Looking forward to trying out a DL One route next year.
They built terminal A in Boston about 15 years ago specifically for Delta! Seems to me they want to keep expanding here !
Delta has been growing rapidly here in Boston, and they recently gave me Gold status for 6 months (extend after 3 RTs). I haven't flown Delta in over a decade and have only had my account open for a year or two.
Also probably picking up some of the demand from all of the cancelled Norwegian flights from Edinburgh to the Northeast.
Any idea when this will be bookable? Just went on to search some dates for next summer and nothing came up.
Ahh BOS, the most messed up airport design in USA.
Lucky Delta has A, the better ones in Logan (but still limited widebody infrastructure).
Messed up runway layout, messed up terminal layout. Missing terminal D?????, Until recently, a North-South terminal B?????
I would bet DL will kick WN out of this terminal, as there is no more room for expansion. And maybe make a private curbside on the satellite concourse.
They're using a domestically configured plen (that was a typo but it made me laugh so it's staying) to Lisbon??? ewwww
@eskimo
Really? I thought ORD has the most messed up terminal and runway layout.
@eskimo WN is moving to B when the B renovation for a consolidated AA operation is complete. There is no terminal D was absorbed into C and E during a renovation years ago. Its an easy airport to navigate and will be easier once the post security connections are all finished
Good news! We just got back from Ireland and Scotland on Aer Lingus through Orlando. I would be willing to fly in and out of Boston for a direct flight on Delta (my preferred airline). Hoping to go back next year so will keep a watch on this.
I'm very happy to hear this as a Boston-based flyer, though the real breakthrough for me will be when more than one airline (British Airways) flies east during the day. I shy away from the word "hate", but geez, I hate flying overnight on what I consider such (relatively) short flights. Also, while I can't speak for pilots' experience with the runways, I can say that DRIVING into and around Logan is a horror show. One "wrong" move and around you go...again...and if you're unfamiliar with the airport, just getting out of it can drive one (pardon the pun) mad...
@chub
For terminal I agree, these are relics from the old days. Same goes for JFK, LGA, LAX to name a few.
For runway design, ORD is actually much less confusing and better utilized in poor weather. At BOS under poor weather, the runways overlap and can only operate only one rather than three.

Yah aehpoht is wicked.
Make sense. I used to live in Edinburgh and it is a relatively wealthy and monied city so can see there being premium demand. There are also a significant expat American population, signified by there being a consulate there...
