Treat yourself! ‘Perfect’ private jet flights for the masses take off — leather seats and no TSA checkpoints for as little as $149
NY Post
The last time Daniel Dana had to travel from New York to Miami, he opted to skip the usual time-sucking stress of the major airports and Uber-ed over to Teterboro instead — ambling into a dedicated terminal very shortly before his flight was scheduled to depart.
Dana, 25, isn’t some newly-minted mogul — the young content creator paid just $615 for his trip with JSX, a small carrier offering the type of perks normally reserved for private jet passengers, but at a fraction of the cost.
No vibe-destroying stress of long TSA lines, no crowded waiting areas filled with gate lice — passengers flying with the growing air carrier can show up as little as 20 minutes before takeoff, flash ID, breeze through a simple, TSA-approved security check, hand their bags over to be placed directly in the hold and hop aboard a kitted-out small jet, featuring just a handful of leather seats and personal service.
“No lines, no crazy security checks, no delays. A much more tailored experience without the chaos of a large airport, too — it’s just so much more efficient,” Dana enthused to The Post of his experience with JSX, which whisks New Yorkers from Teterboro and White Plains to Florida, the West Coast and more.
The air carrier has become a popular alternative to regular commercial service among those with a few extra bucks in their travel budgets — or those looking to treat themselves to something better than a premium seat on a major airline at sometimes-comparable prices.
Onboard, the exclusive-ish experience continued, Dana said — complimentary fruit-and-cheese plates and olives, free cocktails, and the pleasure of being one of just 20 or so people on his flight.
