The wife and I flew JSX from Burbank to Oakland this weekend and WOW, what a great way to fly. No lines, no TSA security check, great service and no baggage claim. We will never fly on cattle car airline again if Jet Suite goes there.

Highly recommend and worth every penny!

Yup. It used to be the best kept secret. Not anymore! Lol. And used to be dirt cheap.

Best service hands down. 2 hours from my living to sitting at the pool at the Wynn. Only way to fly. The Phenom they charter is great for 4 people to non serviced locations as well.

Another tidbit I noticed, one of my buddies is a bigtime nightclub host in Vegas. If you notice the price is jacked now for the Vegas routes from John Wayne, he says its because the Casinos are now using JSX as their own "jets" and booking them solid with their own clients. So again, we get fucked as "regulars".

My step-daughter might be having a medical procedure done in Phoenix and we will consider using JSX for our trip there out of Burbank.

That’s some baller shit.

Not really. This is what I priced out for our Vegas trip and then compared to Southwest. I will GLADLY pay the extra couple hundred bucks and not have to deal with the BS at the airport.

We've used them quite a few times but it's hit and miss on the pricing. Sometimes they're competitive with commercial carriers ( a bit more but worth it in our minds). Other times they are double or triple and it makes less sense. Last time I looked for Vegas, Southwest was $129 each way and JSX was nearly $700.

$700 for you is an afternoon of cocktails by the pool. No joke! LOL

Thanks for the heads up. Not yet available from our home airport of DEN yet. However, as an alternative to this, check out first class pricing on commercial these days. Not all that much more expensive than coach many times.

Delta, for example, has really upped their game. Screens offering live TV and very comfortable, much more so than those seats on Embraer jets. Recently did DEN Detroit round trip for about $400 extra. Well worth the cost. No lines at either airport (TSA pre check) and luggage literally showed up as I got to the carousel.

Even less on my frequent DEN LAX trips, about $200 extra RT. No brainer for me.

Totally, used to be between $70 and $200 depending on dates and times Vegas to OC or Burbank, last time i flew i noticed the ghetto crew had found it.

So nice to show up 10-15 minutes before departure and be off the plane and in a car within 45 minutes.

JSX is closed. Only past client can books flights now 😁

But my two trips to Vegas in December had some major delays:

Trip 1 - Early morning flight home, mechanical delay, get on plane, taxi to end of runway annnnnnddd John Wayne shut down for fog. That ended up being about a 4 hour delay after our taxi to the runway.

Trip 2 - Headed home a Friday afternoon, random 3 hour delay.

Only temporary part... they're building their JSX Lounge in Vegas. So they bus you from an helicopter tour lounge to the plane. It's only like 200 yards but refer to Trip 1 ^ on why that was a pain in the ass.

Oh yeah and they used to be less than half the price they are now.

User number of times but when they have a problem or delay you’re screwed it’s not like they have another aircraft laying around and you have no rights because it’s sort of a private booking.

Little secret Long Beach to Las Vegas that’s our favorite route piece of cake you could arrive 25 to 30 minutes before and we have global entry so we’re always TSA pre. Dependent upon the days the flights can be dirt cheap I have flown many times at 40 and $45 each way mid week and on Saturday. Actually a little longer now that Jet Blue got out of the game at a Long Beach Ghost Jet Blue flew in the terminal three in Las Vegas which is never crowded Southwest goes to terminal one.

Wish they did Cabo!!!! And Havasu!!!

But John Wayne to Vegas is so easy on Southwest. I can handle it for 45 minutes. We have Global Entry so we never have a line for security.
