Jump to postAs for DTW-BCN vs BOS-BCN vs. the 2nd JFK-BCN... JFK and DTW have better connectivity than BOS. JFK has more O&D than BOS. BOS isn't going to be the obvious choice for a 2nd TATL flight after the first from JFK or ATL. BCN already has 2 daily flights from JFK and 1 daily flight from ATL. Lookin...
Jump to postHaving said this, I cannot see DTW-BCN being added in the short term as DL doesn't fly to BOS from BCN which would be the next logical step. Delta is actually adding a new daily flight to BCN this coming summer (so will be 3x daily from the US), and they chose to go with a second daily JFK flight i...
Jump to postWith connectivity being restored at DTW, it would be nice to finally get a new transatlantic route out of DTW too. The 3 European cities that both AA and UA serve from next door at ORD but they are not served from DTW are Athens, Barcelona and Dublin. Dublin is served by MSP, Barcelona and Spain ar...
Jump to postThere is no chance of Iberia launching Singapore. Iberia's core market is Latam and it will continue to be that way in the near future. In Asia they haven't even recovered all of the destinations they where serving before COVID and other obvious ones such as Seoul would definitely come before. So 0 ...
