AA direct flights from Boston?

I just tried researching flights for an upcoming high season trip, and it looks as though our usual direct flight on American (which used to be on Saturday mornings) isn't available -- I checked several weeks, and can't find any!

Is Jet Blue the only nonstop option left for Boston?

Apparently. Flights this year out of the Northeast seem crazy. We couldn't find a decently priced flight out of BVT so we booked a one stopper out of BOS for the same price we paid for a one stopper out of BVT last year. What was available out of here were flights priced 20% more than last year with overnight layovers departing on a Saturday. Flights with shorter layovers were priced 40% more.

We usually book our flights in July for late March and held off for while. After seeing no change on Kayak we decided to fly out of BOS. When we traveled with friends from the Boston area we usually took that AA direct but it does seem to be gone. I just checked Kayak again and even the Jet Blue flight is stopping in SJU. Good luck. I'm just hoping my seat stays nailed down.

The AA direct flight is gone. Using AA with a stop kills the entire day, coming and going. It did give me the oportunity to spend $80 on two hamburgers and two glasses of wine at Shulas in the Miami airport.

The Jet Blue flight I am taking is direct to STT and has a very brief stop in PR on the way back and for what ever reason that stop in PR doen't always happen. I was able to get tickets in January for about $450 RT, but in February and March the same flights were in the $600 range.
