BOS increasing to daily and starting earlier in 2023 in a more premium heavy 763 is a good indication of demand, particularly in Biz Class. All the UA routes are well established and will do just fine. I’m less convinced that VS will hang around at EDI. They are planning to use a high density 351 which seats 400+ pax and are re-starting much later than S22. If the current seat maps is anything to go by, so far, they still have lots of seats to fill.
IMO - Suspect there will be a fair few pax of the VS Orlando flights on Virgin Holiday packages who won’t have been allocated seats as yet until closer to time or check in- not necessarily low sales.
