NW IAD DC-10 continued on to SEA flew it several times and DTW at times recieved NW DC10's and B747's. In the early 70's SFO UA morning flight was a 747 that continued on to HNL

AA had DC10's to both BUF and DTW at one point.
EA often had L10's into ATL and MIA
DL had seasonal L10's into PBI, TPA, and MCO
As posted, CO flew the D10 to DEN.
I believe NW had occasional scheduled D10's to both CLE and TPA

EA had L1011s and A300s out of BOS to MIA, SJU, LGA, EWR and other cities over the years - in the early 1980s, the BOS-LGA shuttle was operated by the A300B2s (ex-IranAir aircraft - strange huh?).
CO did fly DC10s for a short period of time on the BOS-DEN route.
TW flew L1011s and 767s to ORD, STL, LAX and SFO, its likely that 747s flew the transcon flights out of BOS in the early 1970s.
NW had DC10s on the BOS-Detroit route, when BOS was a transatlantic gateway for NW.

I have flown on the Delta 767-200, 767-300, and L1011 between CVG and Boston.
In addition, TWA used to fly the 767-300 from Boston to JFK.
It's not really domestic, but Delta used to fly the 763 from Boston to Montréal (a route that I found very strange.)

The BDL/BOS DL service with L10 was a stop on BDL/BOS/BDA/BOS/BDL.

As late as 1996 American used to fly 767-200's between LAX and BOS which would go onto/come in from London Heathrow.
At times American will use an Airbus down to San Juan or Miami from Boston, though this was more common in the late-90's.

On that same "random point in time" theme...
At one time there was at TW L10 EWR-BOS (early morning flight).

All the way up till around and after 9/11, AA and UA were flying 767s on BOS-LAX. A sad thing to remember is that both 762s that hit the towers were flying BOS-LAX

Here's a little gem that popped up a few times: TWA's 747-SP (yep!) on a BOS-LAX routing. The plane servicing the route would come in from Rome.
Another: World Airways DC-10s from Newark/BWI and Oakland

Quoting Stirling [I questioned the BOS-BUF route....I think AA discontinued this route around '72-'73...before that, it was double-daily with a 707.]
You are correct. But as of June 1 1973 they were still operating

they still do fly it, its a daily non-stop flights currently operated with a

DL used to also run a 767 CVG-BOS and BOS-CVG, I think it was up until 1999 regularly, then some occasional appearances 1999-2001 or so.
B4REAL, spelled like it sounds
25 Chrisjake: in Aug 1981 NW flew a DC-10 on a MKE-CLE-BOS-Europe-BOS-CLE-MKE route. it was flight 48 eastbound and flight 49 westbound. this same period also saw N
26 Zrs70: AA also served the BOS-SJC with an occasional scheduled M11
27 Irev210: Flights 222 and 223 over thanksgiving are running 767-200's BOS to LAX instead of the normal 757. Very cool indeed Do they still have the 3 class layo
28 Tundra767: Yes, J cabin wil be sold as either F or Y. I have seen both.
29 LH423: True. The BOS-SJC flight was a continuation of the NRT-SJC flight. BOS-MIA occasionally saw the M11...a couple times a month before the fleet started
30 ChrisNH: Perhaps the most surprising runs were those 767s and L-1011s that Delta used between Boston and Montreal. Tell someone that you remember when Delta us
31 Airbazar: I haven't seen any reference to MD11's on this thread. I remember seeing AA MD11's at BOS circa 1991. Can anyone confirm that?
33 N1120A: AA has flown, and still does fly, SAN-BOS for years.
34 A330323X: USAir ran the B767-200ER on BOS-CLT, as a continuation of their BOS-FRA flight. Not sure if they've run it on BOS-PIT or not.
35 Cs03: The BOS/YUL route was one of many New England routes that Delta obtained when they bought Northeast. (Yellowbirds)!
36 Jdwfloyd: They did have a 762 or 333 that went PIT-BOS-FRA and FRA-BOS-PIT. This was before my time, I have just heard other people talk about it. My understan
37 A330323X: I thought so, just wasn't sure. BOS-FRA was always a 762.
38 Zrs70: I think Northeastern International flew the A300 BOS-ISP-Florida.
39 N1120A: I thought it was LAX-PIT-FRA that was a 762.
40 A330323X: They've run LAX-PIT (and LAX-PHL/CLT) as a 762 plenty of times, I wouldn't be surprised if it continued on to PIT-FRA at some point. I know they ran
41 Zrs70: I think EA used the A300 on the "Midnight Express" out of BOS via IAH to the west coast. Not positive on this one, though.
42 N1120A: LOL, I know, I just remember seeing a same flight number 762 for a long time on LAX-PIT-FRA and was trying to see if this was the case.
43 PHLBOS: True, but with NE's largest plane at the time (1972) of the merger was the 727-200; it probably didn't see widebody service (from DL) until after the
44 Jdwfloyd: When the 333 service first started I believe that for a short time it went thru BOS.
45 A330323X: If you remember it, then it probably was. BOS-FRA was only operated with the B767-200ER. The route was cancelled a good while before US received any
46 ChrisNH: I recalled seeing Delta DC-10s at Logan. Before Delta was able to get their L-1011s, they used the DC-10 as an interim aircraft to fill the need. This
47 Trvlr: Sorry, I was referring to widebody aircraft on the route. A 767-200 operated SAN-BOS for a short time in 2003. Aaron G.
48 Lrgt: FIRST, I find it very sad that a lot of these flights have been downgraded from widebodies to regional jets while air traffic volume has INCREASED! BD
49 LH459: I remember this well, and the flights were often packed! The traffic decreased dramatically mid 90s, around the time of the separatist referendum in
50 BOSPMV: it wont be for very long, by the end of October, the A300 will no longer be seen in BOS, IMO I am glad to see it leave and be replaced by 752s and MD
51 ChrisNH: I think some of the BOS-MIA runs--especially those filled with cruise-bound passengers--might well be served by 777s. Or at least planes with good bel
