The Truth About Flying JSX - Semi Private Jet Experience
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
- I travelled with JSX from Las Vegas to Dallas last week. JSX is a part 135 charter operator, not an airline. I was able to check-in quickly from their own facility in Las Vegas, in just a few minutes, and there was no invasive TSA security screening. The next moment I was walking onto an Embraer 145 jet on the ramp. The plane was fitted with 1-1 seating configuration, so there is no middle seat, with no seat neighbour to share with.
I spoke to the JSX pilots, crew and a few passengers about their experience onboard. The flight time to Dallas was 2 hours 30 minutes through some scenic views of the Grand Canyon. After I landed in Dallas, the checked baggage was first placed on the tarmac before passengers deplaned. I got my bag within a minute and by the next minute I was in a pre-booked car driving away from the private terminal. The whole experience on JSX was swift, much faster than flying into and out of the crowded airport terminal, with no lines of check-in or screenings to deal with.
The 1-1 seating configuration is currently served on the JSX Texas route only. West Coast routes are served by 1-2 seating configuration.
Lastly, I interviewed the CEO of JSX, Alex Wilcox, on the future expansion plans of JSX and whether more planes will be re-configured to 1-1 seating. Alex also shared with me how he started in aviation, almost 3 decades ago.

I love how natural flying is to the ceo. It’s nice to see a ceo who’s life is literally immersed in travel as opposed to just a business person

XDDDDDDD
u look like u need emotional support

This was my hidden gem pre-Covid. I fly Phoenix to Vegas often. The best deal was last minute,”hop on”. I would wake up in the morning, book a same day flight for $89.00-$99.00, show up 20 minutes before the flight, and check in. 30 minutes later I would be in Vegas. You get spoiled very quickly and never want to deal with regular airport hassle ever again. There are not as many flights at this time, and prices are up, but hopefully things will resume like they were before the pandemic. Superb flying experience!
I hope I can do that one time from burbank to las vegas
$99? Now prices are even higher! Do you have any other hidden gems?
@Joshua 윤호 Han I highly recommend it... once you do that, youll never want to use another airline or drive there lol..
Hi is there a way to do this from,lax? I want to fly Australia to Palm springs but there is only one flight at 7 p.m each day and my international flight arrives at 6 a.m all the flights are from san fran we know why right !
I fly JSX all the time. I left my cell at home causing my family to have to drive back to get it. Once my family delivered the phone the JSX worker brought my phone and handed it to the pilot through the window and the pilot delivered my phone to me straight away. The best part of the experience was that one of the workers waited by the door until my family arrived with my phone.
Great to see Captain Lydia in the left hand seat and to hear her story -superb!!!
and to see the enthusiastic pilots crew and passengers (and dog) on your flight!
Love Love Love JSX, so convenient from Orange County to Las Vegas multiple times a year. Great video as always Sam.
Thank you for making this video sam! Ive been wanting to fly with this airline for a while now and wondered how it was. I also had no idea the flew to dallas which is perfect for me!
Nice subwoofers you got there... :)
Hey Sam,
Space travel now a days is a very hot topic for everyone despite of being ultra expensive. Here is an ultra low cost idea which can give 'near real' experience of space ride ( earth, moon ,mars) to common people as little as $50 or even cheaper.. #spaceTravelForEveryone. Same concept can be used for creating virtual flying experience in luxury private jet with most scenic 'out of window' views ( dine and fly in 'virtually' flying restaurant )
See the first 20 seconds of the video (by user Ernest Semerda) which has basic elements of this idea. Imagine doing it a larger - professional scale, can be a great fun and educational exercise for kids and adults alike th-cam.com/video/u_uJ0JehnXk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=ErnestSemerda
IDEA - a better "near real" space flight simulator experience which will not only show views of earth from the stratosphere but also views of low orbit fly-by, touchdown on moon, mars and other space wonders.
You can make a real size replica of a non flying space capsule - starliner, keep it on a mount inside a big elliptical shaped room whose walls and floors are made up with ultra HD infinity super wide screens. It can then mimic "out of window" three dimensional breathtaking views of space in the same way space travelers view it from inside the spacecraft window. e.g. space horizon, close up of earth, moon, mars, comets etc. ( FROM REAL RECORDINGS OR artist's impression ) With mechanical movements of the craft, pre-recorded scenes and sounds you can recreate the same experience one gets in space i.e. the launch - in flight and touchdown (barring zero gravity) Will work like current flight simulators but on a much larger scale and will be more realistic. So within 60 minutes you can experience lift off, low orbit fly by and touchdown on the surface of earth, moon, mars and other planets in just a few hundred dollars or even less and it will be a 'near real' experience.. you sit in the same movable craft astronauts sit and see the same views they see
I bought a Cirrus Vision Jet during the pandemic so my family and I could vacation and visit family without all the hassles. I highly recommend. It's more convenient than flying charter and works according to your schedule. Cheers!
Edit: I should say that I usually fly weekly from my home in Utah to my vacation home in Jackson Hole, so this is the perfect for the commute.
Excellent video, I had been thinking about flying out of Concord CA and now I'm all onboard!
Hahhahahaha same... Sam has amazing videos just like James Asquith YT videos
I love JSX. I'll be flying from KLAS to KBUR on Thursday. This will be my third or fourth time flying JSX. Highly recommend.
what about the pricing?
If you book a month or earlier before your flight you can find tickets from $99 (USD) to about $250 and up if you book closer to your departure date. Or they have another option that is around $500. I've had no reason to go for the other option. A flight with other airlines are starting around $70 for where I'm going. But I'll pay a little more to avoid all the chaos in KLAS, KLAX, and, KBUR. Definitely worth it IMO.
This proves my comment that I made. These planes cost easy 7k hourly to operate. LAS to DAL the hours flying compared to the low cost of seats is operating at a major deficit. Not a sustainable model. 10 years in the 135/91 private aviation industry. Not a big fan of these seat selling models. They always fail or get sold to bail out investors.

WOW! The CEO's interview was inspiring and a great eye opener. Thanks Sam.
I love how Sam's videos always have interesting info. They remind me of James Asquith's YT videos
that CEO is real chill, not stuck up at all...nice
I love the casual uniforms on the pilots
Really enjoyed your in depth into JSX they make it simple and fun to fly again and again

Very cool, did I see 2 “ Janet” planes sitting at the start 👽
sure is!
There are 3 Janet planes at 4.58
@@SamChui Next vid? Lol
I was looking for this comment.
Janet air!!!!!
We're flying JSX into Denver and can't wait for this experience!
I actually flew with them for the first time last Sunday and was thoroughly impressed.. The Phoenix staff was excellent from check in to take off..The check in was so much better and LESS STRESSFUL which is a game changer for me…I didn’t like the Vegas lounge at all it was very unkempt yesterday and I’m not sure how it will be as the temperature goes up in the summer in the southwest… we shall see as I’m booked again next month 😅 All in all I loved the experience and will travel again via JSX between PHX, Vegas and the Bay Area!
The staff in this video were nice. From the first greeting and on down the line.
What’s your cost for seat LAS to PHX?
Phoenix has a very nice JSX terminal!
This is exciting the Concord, Ca terminal is 5 minutes from my house. I always wondered about JSX. I wondered about the turbulence because that’s what gives me anxiety and you tend to feel it more in small planes.
I'm minutes away from the Oakland terminal. I think I'm going to try them as well to Las Vegas. My good friend travels back and forth from here to LV often and loves it. 🤗
Always love your videos Sam. Great content as always!!
This could be the future of air travel
Absolutely loved every second of this video, Sam! I've flown JSX since the beginning, and I'm a customer for life.
Awesome Ryan, love your classic videos!
Very lucky Ryan. I wish we had something like this in Australia. Looks like an outstanding airline and hopefully the way of the future.
First time I have ever seen anything like this! My (non flying wife) would fly this airline!
I am a big JSX fan as well; have not flown them since the start of the pandemic though, I need to get back on one of their planes. (And my furry pooch can’t wait as well, she loves the flights)
Thanks Ryan for showing Mary and I a different way of travel. We had a blast visiting you last year in Burbank. Peace.
You just opened up my options of transportation to extend my travel if I'm in vegas
Thanks Sam =]
yep, it is great for Las Vegas routes. But beware the Dallas to LV runs once a week only. And on West coast they use 1-2 seat configuration as opposed to 1-1 (Texas route only)
Watched the update on your socials :) really excited to watch! Those seats are just mmmmmm
Hi living aviation I love your channel and your touch it... You know it right?!!!
I know you are angry now living aviation 😔
Always a pleasure watching Sam's vlog!! Especially during the Covid and lockdown time, when most of us are unable to travel, gives us a feel of travelling by watching Sam's video :)
Thank you, really appreciated!
Why can’t you travel? What country do you live in? Sorry to hear
I wonder if the JSX concept would work here with in the EU zone. It could fill a niche marked in between the budget liners and the main line flights.
Plus with the Idea that they can land on more regional airports that could really work well.
especially on the middle long parts with in the EU. (shorter travel can be covered by high speed rail)
seems like this is priced a bit above your normal economy+ class, maybe near a business class
Dear Sam,
We highly appreciate if you can do a review on our national carrier which is Srilankan Airlines. Hope you are aware of this international airline.
Safe flight
Stay safe

I did one here few years back: th-cam.com/video/AQqFIcH45pI/w-d-xo.html
we will have to wait until covid is over to resume full travel and flying.
I will fly JSX next trip ... seems awesome.👌👌👌👍👍👍
Sam: Next we will review Janet airlines...
Wouldn't it be great if something like this becomes available for trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific flights?
There are. You just have to get a group of people to charter a flight. Cheaper that way.
Branson has talked about building a plane from the ground up for this very reason.
The music sounds like something out of Beverley Hills Cop. Love it!
you know it's fitting when the CEO shares a photo with Lisa Vanderpump
I got to watch after 4 minutes today.
Usually always the first viewers 😀✈️
Love you @Sam 🇮🇳
I work at DAL airport and I see jsx planes every day but I didn't know they were such a young plane company
I’ve flown them 30+ times. Such a safer way to fly during COVID!
Pretty cool concept, I hope they will survive. Would like to fly with them.
A very interesting concept! Good luck to them.
Very interesting insights... Just like from James Asquith YT videos. Check him out!
Thank you Sam, another great video. We at Sydney can not go and travel international, but watching your videos give me the sense of travelling. Thank you.
Wasn't Alex Wilcox the former CEO of Kingfisher Airlines...
He mentioned right!
yep correct
Great job super cool blog
This is an amazing concept. Would love to take a flight with my dog
They should put dividers up like a mini cubicle and it’ll elevate the experience!!!!
Sam belongs to a middle class family I can't travel as much as you but I can feel by watching your videos
Hey Sam Could You Do A Travel Blog With Srilankan Airlines The National Carrier Of Srilanka..... Eagerly Waiting.....
Is JSX profitable? I love the idea and would love to see it in Australia
The new background music sounds great!
Both side seats could be made wider like business or first class and remove that Center thing.
Ya... I was thinking the same thing. That centre thing is just a waste of space.
I hope they can get back the Seattle Boeing Field route from Oakland🙏

I dont know why people dont mention the amenities… free alcohol for everyone 21+ on board and pets fly with you
I used to fly the Embraer 145 a while ago with ExpressJet, it's a great airplane. Although the ones I flew weren't as pretty looking as these lol.
Love these small innovative companies. The big airlines are chasing seat mile revenue, while JSX wants to capture a niche market. Hopefully, JSX will stay in business. Would love to fly them one day. Can you bypass TSA? Thanks, Sam. Awesome coverage. Keep up the excellent work!
I don’t know if I’ve spent too much time on ME and Asian carriers, but this looks meh at best lol.
Great, informative video though. Thanks Sam.
Me too. I have watched too much Emirates, Qatar and Singapore Airlines lol
I saw it already from an aviation geek too and finally Sam has its own vlog of this impressive cabin😎
It's pretty impressive, especially for their price point. I'm glad Sam got to experience it.
@@RyanBomar Indeed😎
Thank you for doing this VLOG. It's great to see how much everyone involved loves their job. I am a huge fan of JSX and have been flying them for many years out of East Bay CA and Oakland, from back when they were known as Jetsuite X. I'm excited by the news of expansion and hope that they are once again able to add more routes out of Concord, though I'll keep going to Oakland if necessary. Would love to see some of these new 145's too. Great pricing and superb service every single time. Flying Vegas in a week on them and cannot wait!
Great video!
Alex wilcox has been featured On Netflix series called bad boy billionare where he worked for Kingfisher Airlines (KFA)
I think almost everything that the lady said at 7:20 was completely false
YAYYYY!!!!!!! I'm in Philly and to hear JSX is coming to the east coast brings happiness to my travel heart!!! I can wait happily to travel and have the JSX experience!!!!
This video made me interested in flying with this airline. It’s pretty cool
Me too. I always feel the same watching James Asquith YT videos
Ooh that's cool
Sam's videos are always cool just like James Asquith's. Check out his videos as well
I would love to fly in this kind of flight
@Sam Chui, if you're still in the west coast, try out Avelo Airlines, their hub is in Burbank airport
Love it! Great idea!
These operations usually don’t last that long. It’s not always easy to fill these planes selling single seats. They operate at a loss a lot of the time. I work for a large 135/91 operator. Have tons of knowledge if you ever have any questions about flying private reach out.
I fly private...im reachin out
The JSX PHX lounge is actually nice. I fly with them often.
Isn’t the main benefit of being on a private charter is it being private. What’s the point of spending all this money for a flight like this? Someone enlighten me
13:08
The prices for JSX are actually very reasonable! I was expecting thousands but even if I were to leave by the nearest Friday it's only around $1.5k. Considering that this is a semi-private jet you can't beat that price. Are there any other services you can recommend? They seem limited to specific destinations at the moment.
$1.5k is a lot for a short flight
Only 1.5k? Do you sprinkle your food with gold shavings?
If you have money, $1500 is practically back pocket change.
OMG that Chinese captain is so cool, I'm in love
Errr... which chinese captain you are refering to ?

Good ole DFW! The metroplex is a great place to live if you want to do plane spotting. You have DFW, Love Field, Meechum Airport, and Alliance Airport, and a bunch of smaller airfields. Alliance is cool because it’s a cargo airport with very cool planes coming and going. The metroplex is a huge hub for aviation and plane enthusiasts! Come visit you’ll enjoy your stay!🏆
Hello Sam, great videos. Can you please make a video on aircraft nomenclatures, i,e what the no 350 signifies in A350, 777 in B777
Nice view of two Janet 737-600 !
4:58 Imagine if Sam flew on Janet Airlines’ B737-600, that would get more views than the private 787 Dreamliner!
Explain "Janet Airlines".
Isnt there a safety concern over not having a security screening, i thought it was a requirment for commercial flights?
This is basically an normal small airlines but with premium ground experience.
Great!
Jsx amazing..
Sam chui.. Sir. best wishes....
I hope they're making money and can expand with this concept.
So up my alley!!!! Anaheim Hills CA
The 747SP at 4:55 probably belonged to the late casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and his wife. I believe they had matching 747SPs.
cool
I love the Background Music.
No physical Security check with bags. That's dumb as shit.
Love these flights! I was actually on the very first JSX flight from DAL-HOU! Definitely would do again.
Was it expensive?
EMBRAER rock
Cool 1-1 seating! Must be a nice flight experience. Great trip report and good information too. The CEO has some Swiss roots. Cheers
Captain Lydia ! I want to fly with you …….
Regarding flight time: It depends on the training and the person. Some people can just do this and will never put a foot wrong. Less time spent on good training (as in USAF UPT and Pensacola) is way better than 1,500 hours of towing banners or having rich kid (but useless) students try to spin you or side-load the gear. The Colgan accident and 1,500 hours has made it likely that we are missing out on some gifted people who can't afford this, and ending up with that dude who sadly crashed the Atlas Air B767. Typically real smart...like the MAX MBA aircraft designers.

I hope these guys come to NYC soon. Great video.
They weren’t capping when they said ur the aviation god
they’ve reconfigured the inside of that embraer, very good plenty of room on both sides
Great pilot interviews. Want to learn more about this way to fly. I’m in the Carribbean
Nice video, I am looking forward to trying JSX. Not a fan of all the dogs on planes, but that's just me.

Mr Chui, you did not say how much the flight cost. How much was this flight Sir? Mr Chui, does JSX have plans to have International Flights in the future?
I love to fly too Thank you for video .
Awoseme. I love that plane
