Boston is a growing reality, BOS-LHR will be the same (and Delta knows it!)
There are no LRs on order, but JB can convert some of the 321NEOs to LRs (presumably XLRs when those come out as well). CEO said turnaround time for conversion choice to delivery of an LR is less than 18 months (I believe that’s the vague timeline he gave in an interview a few months ago). Getting a LHR slot is one of the big problems. Getting ETOPS is another issue, which according to another forum has been stopped for now. No idea if that part is true. I’m not planning any London layovers anytime soon though.
