I wish WN felt the same way. I have no doubt that PVD-DEN would be successful on a year-round basis, but the 600 lb gorilla is 60 miles up the road. WN will take any means to keep demand high on BOS-DEN, especially during winter months, which means stripping PVD of virtually all of its westbound service for several months. BOS needs multiple frequencies on BOS-DEN to maintain a competitive product, and they need some of those 193 PVD passengers on them to fill them up.
That said, the calculus changes when a fleet of Max7s and DEN's new gates are operational. Until then, aircraft are a commodity that needs to produce maximum profit. Long thin routes need not apply.

great to see. the IAH flight was UA’s longest regional flight the last time i checked (a few years ago). although i slightly prefer the ride in the 175, superior IRROPS recovery for mainline ops is more significant to me.
IAH enables a ton of one-stop routes to central and south america from BDL, and complements many of the west coast connections currently served via DEN.

It’s not about equipment. Even FedEx A300s have used 18/36.
If you read the article it says all fixed wing operations will stop from 10:30p-6am during part of this reconstruction. And there are scheduled flights that arrive until after midnight.

I'm wondering how dropping every route it started, except for MCO, is successful.

These never went away. Most of their routes out of BDL have performed up to or better than expectations.

It is my plan to eat lunch at BDL before returning to STL and there is a food court on the airport's website but I can't really see if it's before or after security. All help appreciated.

It is in the secure side. I don't know if everything is open.

Well, they did for May 2020 until December holidays 2020, then SFO/LAS went away again from January 5, 2021 to May 6, and LAX from March 1 to May 6.

Most restaurants and shops are open at BDL minus a couple like Traveltini, iStore and Brooks Brothers.
Behind security you have Black Bear Saloon which is decent, Phillips Seafood, Two Roads Tap Room, Papa Gino's (decent pizza), D'Angelo's (decent subs), McDonalds, and Fresh City. There is an Escape lounge as well if you have an AMX Platinum card which is open fully now. There is also multiple Dunkin Donuts and a Jamba Juice which may be closed.
Before security there is a Starbucks and a decent restaurant inside the Sheraton Hotel which is connected to the airport.
