A seat on this semi-private check-in costs as little as $250, but is it worth it?
00:04
I flew with JSX, a public charter specializing in semi-private flights, to find out.
00:08
I started at their dedicated terminal in Oakland.
00:11
Check-in with security was a breeze because it's just us JSX passengers here.
00:14
The lounge is basic, but that's okay because I only had to arrive 20 minutes before my
00:19
flight.
00:20
There are no overhead compartments on board, so all passengers' bags do get checked.
00:23
Luckily it's free.
00:24
Meanwhile, dogs of all sizes can fly in the main cabin, a major perk for pet owners.
00:28
As for the plane, I thought the seats were plush and comfortable.
00:30
Each had a dedicated charger, tray tables, and lots of legroom.
00:34
There are no TVs, but there is super-fast Starlink Wi-Fi, and also a nice selection
00:39
of snacks and drinks, including the adult kind.
00:41
The main downside is just the limited flight routes, mainly in the west and southwest,
00:45
but there are plans to expand.
00:47
Overall, I thought JSX was fast, efficient, and comfortable.
00:50
Though not quite succession-level luxury, it is a great option if you want to get somewhere
00:54
fast or keep your four-legged friend on board.
