Flying Semi-Private Carrier JSX From Burbank to Phoenix; Flight Review

This means customers do not face the same hassles as they do when flying on a commercial airline, like standing in long security queues or waiting for their boarding zone.

“The biggest difference between private and commercial flying is the ground experience,” JSX CEO Alex Wilcox told Insider. “People don’t want to take off their shoes or walk a mile to get on an airplane.”

Currently, JSX primarily flies around the West Coast, focusing on places like southern California, Las Vegas, and Phoenix. But, it has been expanding east, launching routes to cities in Texas, Florida, Colorado, and New York.

My journey started at Hollywood Burbank Airport, which is located about 28 miles north of Los Angeles International Airport.

But, instead of going to the main departures lobby, I headed to JSX’s private terminal on the south end of the airport.

I opted for a bellini, though there was also water, tea, coffee, soda, beer, wine, and liquor available.
