Fly JSX Semi-Private for Vacation for Under $300 – Here’s How

Booking flights with a semi-private airline might be more affordable than you think this holiday season.

JSX, a regional airline based in Dallas, offers up to 100 public charter flights throughout the United States, Mexico and the Bahamas each day. Officially classified as public charter jet serviceJSX operates a fleet of 50 Embraer ERJ aircraft. And several of its routes are currently on sale.

With only 30 seats aboard a JSX aircraft, passengers can avoid crowded airports by exiting private terminals and arriving just 20 minutes before departure. With amenities like two free checked bags and free service Starlink Wi-Fisnacks and drinks, travelers might be surprised to learn that flights are reasonably priced, even during the peak holiday season.

“JSX is blazing a new trail in bringing many of the benefits of private flying to the public, easily accessible and attainable for today’s modern traveler,” JSX said in a statement. T+L. “The Hop-On Hop-Off Airline is the ultimate vacation travel solution that avoids the crowds, airport wait times and prohibitive and expensive membership fees typically associated with private jet travel.”

Travel + Leisure I searched JSX’s routes – including seasonal flights starting for winter – to find the best one-way deals for traveling over Thanksgiving and the December holidays:

  • Reno (RNO) to/from Orange County (SNA): $209
  • Dallas (DAL) to/from Houston (HOU): $249
  • Burbank (BUR) to/from Las Vegas (LAS): $274
  • Salt Lake City (SLC) to/from Scottsdale (SCF): $309

For example, a comparable flight from Salt Lake City to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) costs $212 in the main cabin on American Airlines or Delta Air Lines on the Sunday before Christmas. Travelers to the Phoenix area can pay less than $100 to book a JSX flight, enjoying the added convenience of flying from dedicated hangars with fewer people.

Later this month, JSX will restart flights along the East Coast, providing service between Morristown Airport (MMU) in New Jersey and Westchester County Airport (HPN) to West Palm Beach (PBI) and Naples Municipal Airport (APF).
