SW no more flights to Boston area??

[MELISAZACK]

I am trying to schedule flights to Mass. for march. I tried Manchester, Boston Logan and RI from philly - all came back as of 1/7/12 they are no longer flying there.. I didn't see anything on this anyone know if this is true or just a glitch in system???

Must be a glitch, because their printed schedules still show plenty of flights to MCO from all three airports. No non-stops out of BOS for the dates I spot checked, FWIW, but there are non stops from the other two.

You can view and download complete schedules by airport at this link.

not flying into MCO..
flying from Philly to Manchester or Boston..
I did find a press release that they are getting rid of Man and RI from philly but nothing for Boston Logan so I don't know why that one is cut..
sucks cause everyone else wants 200.00 per person and sw you could always get if or under 100 per person

I'm seeing the same you are (no flights between PHL and BOS/PVD/MHT).

SW stopped service from Philly to Boston in this last year.

bummer. Maybe Amtrak is an option for you.

How far are you from BWI?

That is correct, Southwest has discontinued service to Boston, Manchester, Pittsburgh, and several other places. They can't compete with other carriers. USAirways has increasing market share in all of those markets.

SWA is dropping the Philadelphia service to Boston, Manchester, Pittsburgh, and Providence in order to add Southwest Service from Atlanta to Austin, Baltimore,, Chicago (Midway), Denver, and Houston (Hobby).

OP - try Streamline Air. They fly between Trenton/Philadelphia and Bedford/Boston several times a day, and prices start at $99 one way.
