JSX Experience?
Good morning all,
Anyone have experience on JSX yet-good, bad, otherwise? Since I live in PHX, where B6 doesn't have much of a presence, I am getting lots of ads for JSX & have been thinking about giving them a try on my next flight to LAS. The fact that their schedule is only open thru early March right now, though, is somewhat concerning.
Thanks in advance & Happy New Year :-)

JetBlue owns around 10% of JSX and they are partners. Go for it. Check in is quick and easy, service is good, and I would not hesitate at all to book. Have always had good experiences with them.

I do see that there is a thread about JSX expansion in the FT "Other North and South American Airlines" forum.

I’ve taken JSX from Orange County, CA (SNA) to Oakland, and Oakland to Vegas. Super easy and convenient. Showed up 45 minutes before the first flight and 30 minutes before the second flight. Walked in, showed my ID to get checked in, gave them my bags, got swabbed as part of security check, and had a short 20 minute wait in the lounge. The Oakland lounge was lacking snacks though.
And the prices were really good, $79 for each flight. The prices are really good if you can book ahead of time.
They also let you do standby to an earlier flight if there’s space, my friend did that.

The main negative I have with JSX is if I have to rent a car at my destination (PHX and LAS, at least). Rental car centers are nowhere near the JSX hangars. Works great if I Uber/Lyft. Will prolly stick with mainline if I plan to rent a car.

In case this helps, GoRentals works with JSX for rentals.
I just Uber to a regular rental place that I book thru Costco. LOL

I just flew JSX today from LASBFI and it was quite a refreshing experience.
Highly recommended if you need to fly into secondary airports.
Plus the Bulleit Bourbon was a nice touch.

You got lucky. JSX is infamous for cancellations due to their aircraft constantly breaking.

Glad it has worked for you but I can't trust them based on my experience... if things go south on the day of departure, they don't have the ability to rebook you on another airline
