Think outside of the box. Looking at the Southwest, their fares from Tucson to Manchester (which, if I recall correctly, is not too far from Boston) is $99 to $299 each way, depending on when you buy the ticket. They don't have any published flights for TUS/PVD so I wasn't able to get that. You can always build your own connection by booking a TUS to whereever flight and then whereever to MHT or PVD.
