How to book a JSX flight
JSX is the perfect choice for travelers who are looking to take advantage of a ‘hop-on’ approach to air travel. These flights feature private terminals, breezy boarding and a time-saving process that saves you up to two hours.
Using the JSX app or website, you can easily book your flight, check-in and reserve your seat online. JSX also works directly with United Airlines MileagePlus to make it even easier to stack miles.
The JSX flight schedule may not work the way that you are used to with other airlines, so it is important to plan ahead. This may mean that you will have to arrive a few minutes earlier than usual to avoid lines at the airport.
JSX flights offer the same features as other short-to-medium-haul jets, including free snacks and drinks, business-class leg room and power outlets for each row. Additionally, some JSX planes have 1×2 seating configurations for a more personal experience.
Check-in
If you’re looking to book a flight with JSX, the first step is to check in online. It’s a quick and easy process that typically becomes available twenty-four hours before your flight.
You’ll need to provide a valid form of identification, such as a driver’s license or passport. You can also bring a DHS traveler card (NEXUS, FAST, Global Entry, SENTRI) to prove your identity.
Once you’ve completed your check-in, you’ll head to the private terminal where your flight will depart from. You should arrive 20 to 40 minutes before your scheduled departure time.
JSX operates flights in California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Florida and New York State. It primarily operates regional jets, limiting the planes it flies to 30 seats. This allows them to operate under Part 135 rules from private terminals without TSA, which can make for a much easier and less stressful experience. JSX has a strong following among business class travelers who are willing to pay a premium to avoid TSA and other hassles of the airport.
Boarding
JSX flies out of private terminals and hangars, which eliminates the TSA lines and crowded boarding areas that can make flying commercially a hassle. Instead, passengers arrive 20-30 minutes before their flight to go through check-in, wait in a quiet lounge and board directly onto their jet.
Using this method, JSX has won a loyal base of frequent fliers from those who want to avoid TSA and other annoyances at the airport. Its point-to-point service between destinations in California, Nevada, Texas and Arizona is a welcome change to the hectic air travel experience we all know so well.
JSX operates scheduled charter flights, using regional jets outfitted with only 30 seats per plane. These small jets operate under Part 135 regulations, which allow them to fly from private terminals without TSA.
Lounges
JSX offers passengers an on-demand private air service that eliminates airport hassle and delays, saving travelers up to two hours per round-trip flight. They arrive just 20 minutes before their flights and enjoy quick security screening processes, valet parking and beautifully appointed lounges away from congested airport terminals.
Unlike other airlines, JSX keeps check-in delightfully simple and easy, and passengers only need to show their ID and have their bags tagged before heading to the boarding lounge. Once boarding is complete, passengers can take a few minutes to relax in the lounge before making their way to their jet.
Known for its convent & fast boarding process (arrive at the airport 20 minutes before your flight), free inflight Wi-Fi, free checked bags, pets fly free, spacious seating, and complimentary cocktails, JSX has recently expanded their cabin offerings to include food and hot towel service on all flights over 550 miles. These changes will make the in-flight experience even more enjoyable for travelers.
