The 757 jets in its fleet have only a handful of economy seats. The venture is led by Dale Moss, a longtime BA executive and former Rosenbluth International officer from the Philadelphia area.

Joe S:

If you fly into Manchester (MHT), you can take a FREE shuttle bus into Boston public transit hubs. All you have to do is show your ticket for a flight that day - either into or out of MHT. I don't fly into BOS anymore. A complete waste of money. I budget my time by flying into MHT.
