Once you get a taste of JSX, it's going to be hard going back to normal commercial airlines! Parking is valet only, so it's recommended that you arrive via Uber/Lyft/Taxi/car service.
This terminal was pretty efficient, and check-in only took a couple of minutes. The check-in process involves a bag swab for explosives, tagging your checked bags, and printing out your boarding pass. You can literally show up as little as 20-30 minutes prior to your flight and still check your bags and board the plane. After check-in, you'll wait in the lounge until your flight is ready to board, which is usually 15-20 min prior to departure time.
The "lounge" is just a big waiting room with couches, tables, and chairs. There are plenty of power outlets, free public wifi, and complimentary coffee/tea/water. Our flight was slightly delayed, and I wished they would've made some announcements because everyone looked rather antsy as it got close to our departure time.
The boarding process is super quick because each plane only has 30 seats and no overhead bins. They have you remove large electronic items such as laptops and walk through a metal detector during boarding. They will also scan your boarding pass and check your ID.
Typically, as soon as everyone has boarded, they're able to shut the doors, do a quick safety demo, and immediately take off. The planes are equipped with free Starlink wifi, so you're able to surf the web, stream video, or even upload photos to social media. In-flight service consists of complimentary drinks (soda/bottled water/beer/wine/liquor) and packaged snacks.
Flying JSX definitely is less stressful by not having to walk through and wait in the main airport terminal, as well as having to hear everyone and their kids be super loud! Just wished they flew to more destinations!
