Award Availability Tips for Boston

BOS offers strong competition among carriers, creating good award availability across programs:

• Compare Delta and JetBlue options. Both carriers have major presence at BOS, so the same domestic routes may be available through different programs. Use AwardFares to compare availability across carriers.
• Look at JetBlue Mint for premium travel. JetBlue Mint lie-flat business class between BOS and LAX/SFO is often easier to book and cheaper on points than legacy carrier business class. Mint transatlantic flights to London are also available.
• Use Flying Blue and Virgin Atlantic for Delta flights. These SkyTeam and partner programs frequently price Delta flights from BOS at lower rates than SkyMiles.
• Book early for transatlantic summer travel. Boston's peak travel season to Europe is June through August. Search 8–11 months ahead for business class availability on popular routes to London and Dublin.
• Target off-peak periods. January through March (excluding holidays) and late October through November offer the best availability and lowest pricing on most routes.
