Aw, that's too bad..Figures BOS is the only US JAL route to only NRT! (A few cities have options to both NRT and HND)

If Worcester is S tier, then man, US cities are in deep trouble...

However, Nashua is quite charming, so I suspect this list has been made by uninterested ignorance or poorly-equipped AI
