In reply to RM Aviation & Travel. @largol33t1 Haha it’s really nothing special. However, since my last posting, JSX now has some of their 135s in completely first class seats (one for each window) which look pretty sweet on their website. Haven’t run into one yet.

In reply to Eli_Man. This guy sounds like a spoiled brat. How can anyone think Southwest is so much better than JSX.

Regardless of your particular experience overall, I think this type of flight experience is a win for passengers especially at that price point and I hope they expand to the east coast soon.

In reply to RM Aviation & Travel. @AIRdomination Despite Coby's not-so-fantastic experience, I now want to fly one of these to see the weird layout!

4:14- What you’re talking about is what pilots call “short field takeoff”. It’s an interesting experience. United did this with an A319 during Xmas season 2003. Although that’s a MUCH larger plane, I was amazed how quickly we were aloft. Everyone should fly out of a tiny airport like John Wayne at least once in their lifetime to experience it. It’s not like anything you’ve ever felt or witnessed. I was shocked how loud the engines could get when the pilot held the brakes and opened up the throttle. That tiny plane leaped off the ground like a scalded cat! The one tradeoff is that this being California, you are likely to run into nasty storms as you head for SFO. The storm was brutal and tossed the A319 around like a toy. Fortunately for me, growing up with a love for roller coasters helped prep my stomach for this.

In reply to Sebastian Partida. @Milos M - know how to make a Starbucks substitute coffee at home at pennies per cup? use three times the usual quantity of coffee grounds. It'll strip the taste buds off your tongue just like the original Starbucks.

Based on the fact that you consider Starbucks a premium coffee I don’t get why you would complain about flying in an old regional Embraer jet. S**tty coffee, great jet.
Hope at least the coffee was not as old as the jet though.

I’ve flown them a few times and honestly, if they are even somewhere in the ballpark of a WN fare it’s a no brainer, just not having to deal with the crowds and airport security is a major win for me, also having the ability to earn miles etc on B6 is a nice bonus. The only thing I would ask for is LAX flights.

In reply to MK Mute. If you're flying out of John Wayne, you can show up 20 mins before, especially if you get dropped off.

15-20 minutes shorter waiting time already justifies the extra $30.

Even at 300 usd it would be very attractive bargain imo! 89 is suspiciously cheap, sure beats the “normal” mass transport aviation experience. Fast, efficient, no crowds, wow!

I love airports, checking in, and sitting at gates (yes really!) so the fast check-in would not hold any real appeal. If this is basically just a regular RJ, there would be no reason for me to try it.

My experiences about 3-4 times with JSX were exactly same as they advertised it.

The check in experience and the extra leg room is worth an extra $100. It’s worth it not to deal with the humans.

It is always a frustrating experience for the customer when faced with something other than what is propagated by the company. JSX should only operate the aircraft that have already been refurbished, the Embraer 135 / 145 jets, are not known for their comfort since they are small aircraft designed for regional operation.
JSX does not hide that it is a low-cost operator and uses old aircraft. The attraction of JSX is precisely the gain of overtime to the passenger, yes it is worth paying a little more if you have. I believe JSX could improve the comfort and look of the reception and waiting facilities for the customer. I do not know if it is feasible, but I could offer a transfer service for “JSX executive” vehicles in partnership, through the collection of an additional fee for those who are interested.

Given the damn crazy-dangerous pandemic, the fact that there’s only a handful of people around you is a HUGE bonus, compared to the mass of infected humanity at airport checkin, security checkpoints, and then the terminals

The reason for empty seats Is that if they had over 30 seats it would fall under a higher class of operation, not private
