Why would people think BNA deserves it? They will go for IAH or DFW any day before thinking about BNA.

It can but clearly it will take a payload hit which SQ probably thinks is restrictive on profitability.

Which is ironic, considering that the -ULR is nothing *but* a payload hit.
The higher-J helps though.

Would be interesting to see how the math compares, do you know the weight of the J seats?

Only in one direction, if at all.
Look at the timing: when the nonstop goes daily, it will arrive at EWR before 6am and be out of there by 10am... so there'll be plenty of USA cnnx for those arriving from Asia, but very few stateside connections for those departing the USA.

BNA...?! Pshh... DTW deserves it more than anyone else!
On a serious note though, my bets are all on IAH...

On a more serious note... I have it on good authority from a.net corporate that the 4th market will be either MIA or SAN. By SAN I specifically mean TIJ serving SAN via the CBX. Prove me wrong...

While I agree that EWR is very doable from NYC, the author offers a very rosy view of getting to and from EWR while offering a much more realistic view of JFK.
