How BOS–KEF gets cheaper
- Regional point-of-sale pricing: the same flight is often filed at different tariffs in different countries and currencies. How it works.
- Split-hub routing: pricing BOS to a competitive hub and that hub to KEF as separate tickets can undercut the nonstop, with the risk that separate tickets are not protected if you miss the connection.
- Timing: Revenue management releases inventory in sequential booking buckets, starting with deeply discounted seats, then progressively higher fare classes as the departure date approaches and demand forecasts tighten.
- Nearby airports: departing from LGA (New York LaGuardia), JFK (New York John F. Kennedy) can change the fare.
