You Can Splurge on This Luxury Jet for Less Than First Class.

JSX is a public charter operator that can be a great alternative to regular business or first class. If you’re the type of person who spends money on flights from time to time, you can use it to fly with free drinks, a maximum of 30 people per flight, and a 20-minute transition from parking to staying at your home. seat. And this is about the same as flying first class, and sometimes even cheaper. However, one disadvantage is that it is not as widely available as conventional airlines, with only 26 destinations and a limited number of destinations.

JSX is much cheaper than regular private jets

Although JSX is much cheaper than flying in a regular private jet, it is still not as cheap as flying in economy class. But you can find some flights that are about the same or cheaper than some first class and business class trips.

JSX only allows you to arrive 20 minutes before departure (although they recommend giving yourself extra time if you need to check in your luggage). “Arrive 20 minutes before departure” (or 40 minutes for international flights) seems to be one of their main perks. Valet parking is available at most locations for an additional fee upon arrival. However, there is generally no self-parking option, so according to their FAQ, you should be dropped off if you don’t use valet parking. You don’t even need to show up with your boarding pass as the staff member will hand it to you upon arrival after you provide them with your information.

The benefits here are clear: a maximum of 30 people per cabin means no long lines, less toilet competition, easier check-in, and faster security checks without the need for pre-checks or TSA clearances. As for seating, on E145 aircraft, passengers sit in their single aisle. You can also take those steep walks to the apron and climb the stairs to the plane, just like you do in Succession.

All flights will have free high-speed Wi-Fi, free drinks, cocktails, beer, wine, snacks, power outlets in every seat and free travel with pets.

How much are JSX flights?

JSX flight prices vary depending on the location and the tier you choose. They have a popular and cheaper tier called “Hop On” and a higher tier “All In”. The main difference is that a higher tier gives you an additional free check-in seat (maximum of three bags), free flight changeovers, refundable flights and free seat selection (so you can select single seats for aircraft with limited seating) . their quantity).

The price of their lower tier flights can be cheaper than some first class flights. For example, you can find a one-way ticket from Austin to Las Vegas on May 29 for $249, and the cheapest option to take the same flight on the same day first class on Google Flights is $379 from American Airlines (and it’s not direct flight).
