I Flew By-The-Seat Private Jet Airline JSX For Less Than Coach On American Airlines

I first wrote about JSX in 2016, when he launched under Jetsuitex’s nickname. At that time, its founder and CEO still, Alex Wilcox, told me: “There is nothing between $ 6,000 and $ 69”, the first refers to the height of a private plane and the latest airlines such as Southwest. I have been tracking your progress along the way. Today, I finally flew with the service for the seat, which uses private halls. It means that it avoids long lines and airport terminals full of people and can appear only 20 minutes before the exit. My verdict is that I am in love!

Leaving aside the throbbing beats, the greatest inconvenience is that I need more JSX. Living in Miami, it only has three routes and only two of them have daily service: to the Westchester County Airport north of New York City and the field of love in Dallas, where I was flying. In other words, it is limited, and it was not until I needed to go to Dallas that JSX was even an option, although he had been considering a joyride, flying to JSX to New York and then testing XO or Blade, which also sold seats on flights Scheduled that use private terminals, on the way back.

While I was ready to pay more to try JSX, in the end, I didn’t have to do it. For my trip one night to The Lone Star State, at $ 399, it was less than what was sought in American Airlines for the class of coaches and half of the price that the network airline was selling its first class seats in narrow body planes that are considerably less spacious than I found. Aboard my shared private flight type.

What was great?

At the Miami International Airport, JSX uses a room that is on the other side of the main installation of Signature Aviation for real private jets. There is a parking lot, and my Uber driver knew his location of the previous cyclists, whom he told me he also loved the service.

The airport phase was easy. There are some rudimentary security procedures managed by JSX staff, but Check-in took less than five minutes, there were two people ahead, and the shipment was very easy. We simply cross the asphalt and climb a ramp and climb the plane. I noticed an umbrella reserve in case it was raining.

They assigned a seat to the side of the ERJ-145 passengers in the side of the Erj-145 passengers that would have been a couple of seats when flying like a regional plane in their previous life. However, JSX has changed the seat of the hall on a large table with two holders. There was a lot of legs for the legs, all seats had an electric plug on the booth wall around the height of the knee, and there was a lot of storage space under the seat in the front since there were no divisors to break the area. If I wanted to book this type of seat, JSX wanted $ 30, but ended up receiving it when I registered.

Elon Musk Starlink Wifi was free and fast. So were drinks, including alcohol, and there was a snack of Asian noodles, also complementary. The flight attendant arrived twice for drinks. He was friendly but not too attentive. The second time I asked for a complete can of Coca -Cola Light, and was delivered with a smile. There is no charge for the controlled luggage up to two pieces, although it only had manual luggage. There are no aerial containers.

Upon arriving at the JSX terminal in Dallas, we had to wait about 10 minutes on board because the passengers boarded another flight to Denver. When the flight attendant announced the reason for the delay, two passengers said they were connecting with that other flight, and JSX staff quickly went into action and transferred them to their next flight. My experience with Network Airlines is that it would not have happened.

The disadvantages were minimal, but it is worth pointing.

To get a seat task when booking, you must pay. The least desirable seats on the other side of the hall were $ 15. I suppose that if you travel with someone, you would need to disburse the money if you wanted to make sure you sit down from each other.

There is free coffee, bottled water and wifi in the halls, but that’s all. However, that is closer to what you find in many FBO than airline rooms. Even so, it is more than it would only sit in a class of the door flying economy on a national flight with inherited airlines.

On board it was cold of Asian noodles as a dining option, and that was all. A woman behind me asked about a snack basket that is offered on shorter flights, but apparently, she is or. In terms of food quality, I have had worse, namely, in other airlines. As there was no food for the purchase in the exit terminal, it would be good to have some additional snacks; However, at JSX prices, I can’t be critical.

JSX is marketed as “Salta, Salta” and offers. I will return to Miami in a central seat in American Airlines for only $ 50 less than my semi -relieved flight, and just because the JSX flight from Dallas to Miami is in the morning, so I would have had to remain an extra day to fly back with the.

On other routes, it has a higher frequency. There are six flights a day between Burbank and Las Vegas and three flights in each direction between Dallas and Houston.

In general, JSX staff was kind, cozy and seemed motivated. The Uber driver who picked me up said he had heard happy stories from JSX Flyers, so don’t take it alone. However, my JSX score is 10 outside 10. I want more JSX.

In an article about JSX in the Dallas Business Journal Earlier this month, there was a map entitled Future Expansion. It included many Westchester, Chicago, Denver and Miami routes. If that happens it is not clear. In the report, Wilcox said the company is not yet profitable. However, he hopes to be in black “before taxes” this year and “generate net income next year.”
