JSX Launches Flights To Major City; They Can't Tell You About It
Typically, airlines launch new flights with press releases, social media, and plenty of marketing hoopla in the hopes of filling all those seats. However, don't expect to see much from JSX about its newest routes, even though they are launching just in time for the peak winter season, connecting the busiest airport for private jet travelers in the U.S., serving one of the world's most important cities, with three of the busiest airports in South Florida. With per seat prices starting at just $615 one-way (although they range to over $1,000), the new flights are sure to be of interest to both those flyers who want to experience a bit of the Gulfstream lifestyle as well as those who already fly privately, but don't want to pay the give or take $15,000 to charter a six-seat light jet for just one or two people. Of course, to sell the seats on the new flights, you would need to know about the new flights. However, JSX is facing strict restrictions on where it can promote the new flights. So, what are the new routes? The new flights link Teterboro Airport in Northern New Jersey, the busiest airport for private jets, with Palm Beach International, Fort Lauderdale Executive, and Miami Opa Locka Executive Airport. The three Sunshine State airports are all ranked in the top 25 based on private jet movements. The routes should be an easy sell. JSX is popular with flyers. The readers of Travel + Leisure just awarded it best U.S. domestic airline for the second straight year. It doesn't fly big jets with hundreds of passengers crammed together. It flies converted Embraer regional jets. There are a maximum of 30 seats. There are only aisle and window seats. Everyone travels in the same class. You get similar legroom as domestic first class on narrowbody jets. There's also free WiFi, complimentary snacks, and checked luggage. However, the game-changer is that JSX doesn't use the standard airport terminals. It operates from FBOs and private terminals. Customers check in as little as 20 minutes before departure. The compact terminals also mean that instead of long walks from concourse to arrivals, and then a wait for luggage, you can be on your way minutes after arriving. The new flights, however, can only be promoted to members of Club JSX, a loyalty program the company launched just a month ago. That's because the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey, which runs Teterboro Airport, restricts the type of operations. A Port Authority spokesperson says, 'The Port Authority does not allow scheduled flights that are publicly advertised.' The first public notice of the new flights came via View From The Wing, a website that covers loyalty programs and credit cards. Its editor, Gary Leff, noted that JSX had deftly figured out a way to launch its flights while not violating the rules. The JSX website, where you book flights, makes no mention of Teterboro Airport. Flights are listed simply as New York City. You must be a Club JSX member to see which airport is being used and book seats on the flights. The Port Authority spokesperson explains, 'The Port Authority enforces strict Airport Rules & Regulations at TEB, including no public advertising of scheduled flights with all Fixed Base Operators. JSX operates as a customer of Signature Aviation, not directly with the Port Authority. JSX operates its flights under a membership or loyalty program, which is permitted under the applicable regulations. As long as JSX remains in full compliance with these rules and regulations—specifically by ensuring that flights are not publicly advertised and seat sales are limited exclusively to program members—JSX is authorized to operate without violating the prohibition on public solicitation.' While JSX has proven popular with flyers, executives of big airlines and their unions have sought to curtail its service. While to any traveler, JSX may appear to operate much like the big airlines which fly under Part 121 of the Federal Aviation Regulations, its website notes, 'Flights are public charters sold by JetSuiteX, Inc. as the charter operator and Delux Public Charter, LLC as the direct air carrier, subject to DOT Public Charter Regulations at 14 C.F.R. Part 380.' While some airports have tried to either block JSX or make it move to the main passenger terminals, where it would lose the advantage of bypassing long security lines and other hassles, so far the Dallas-based company has grown its network so that it spans coast-to-coast. The new flights to Miami and Fort Lauderdale start in early October, with Palm Beach beginning in early November. With only 30 seats and only operating a single frequency five times a week, it's hard to believe the new flights will put much of a dent in the big carriers. For example, United Airlines shows five daily nonstop flights from its nearby Newark Airport hub to Miami, and six more nonstops to each Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach on a Monday in October. However, it's hard to say for sure. In a 2023 email to customers JSX CEO Alex Wilcox wrote about an effort to have regulators curtail its growth, 'The truth is that two huge airlines – American and Southwest – and their labor union leaders – have been lobbying the FAA, TSA, and elected officials in Washington D.C. with misinformation and unsubstantiated safety claims in a brazen attempt to regulate JSX out of business.' While the TSA made changes to security procedures in January, JSX said it welcomed the changes, and they wouldn't impact its popular airport-light way of flying. In this case, the biggest question might be whether JSX can make the flights successful without marketing the flights publicly. A JSX spokesperson declined to comment on the new flights.

I Review Clothes for a Living—Here's What to Grab From Quince's Vacation Shop Before Summer Ends, From $30
August is officially here, which means (unfortunately) summer is on its last legs—but this doesn't mean the warm-weather fashion is slowing down. If you have any trips planned this month and are still on the hunt for some stylish yet affordable fashion finds, you've come to the right place. As Travel + Leisure's shopping writer, I uncovered Quince's Vacation Shop, and I've already begun the process of picking out new staple pieces I'll inevitably wear into the ground for the rest of summer and beyond. And, with the sheer volume of stylish, flattering items it contains, it was no small feat selecting the most travel-friendly options to add to my cart. After an extensive scroll through the site, I pulled out the 12 breathable Quince pieces I'll be packing in my suitcase for every upcoming trip I have planned, ensuring that everything is mix-and-matchable, on-trend, and under $60. From effortless cotton maxi dresses to a pair of shorts I'm actually excited to travel in, these affordable picks will upgrade my wardrobe on a budget, without skimping on quality. A simple white linen shirt is the cornerstone of any well-rounded summer wardrobe. Just think. It works as a beach cover-up or a sleek layer for a nice dinner out. At $40, this 100 percent linen option is a truly unbeatable deal—and it even comes in 16 gorgeous colors and patterns. The timeless basic is lightweight and breathable, making it a warm-weather essential. Plus, it takes up minimal space in my suitcase when I'm not wearing it. All I have to do is throw it on with a matching pair of linen pants, and I've instantly secured my spot as best-dressed at any destination. The perfect companion to the button-down shirt above, these wide-leg linen pants are about to become my go-to, especially since I'm a self-proclaimed shorts- hater . The ruched, adjustable elastic waistband is endlessly comfortable, whether I'm sitting through a long-haul flight or spending the day sightseeing in a foreign city. The loose fit is breathable, flattering, and effortlessly cool. Best of all, they come in three inseam lengths, making them ideal for petite, regular, and tall travelers alike. I practically live in loose-fitting maxi dresses during the summer and even into fall. They're easy to throw on, always look polished, and never feel too tight or restrictive. This $60 tiered maxi from Quince checks all the boxes. It's made from a breezy cotton fabric that's gauzy and free-flowing without sacrificing quality, which is really all I ask for in my clothing. Its slightly cropped fit is ideal for a petite traveler like me—no more excess fabric dragging behind me or getting caught underfoot. Plus, the thicker straps stay put without slipping off my shoulders as I walk around. It also comes in a range of eye-catching colors, though I've got my eye on the white and wild cherry. A linen top like this one usually goes for upwards of $70 (as noted on the site), but at $40 in the Quince Vacation Shop, it's a deal I can hardly pass up. It's fitted without being skin-tight, offering some much-needed relief on even the toastiest days. The vibe strikes that perfect balance between dressy and casual, giving me endless styling options for my next vacation. The square neckline is one of my favorite cuts. It shows just enough skin without revealing too much and feels like a polished upgrade from a basic cotton tank. Since summer is winding down, it's time for me to start bringing out my sweaters. I've actually been on the hunt for a lightweight cotton layer to slip on for chilly evenings, and I think I've found my perfect match with this cropped cardigan. The oversized tortoise shell buttons add a gorgeous statement detail without going overboard, and the cotton construction keeps it breathable, especially compared to wool or other heavy fabrics. I picture myself styling it over a plain maxi dress, with linen trousers and a simple tee, or even buttoned up with a silk maxi skirt. No matter how it's worn, it gives off that classic vibe I can't get enough of. Enough with the basic neutrals. This vibrant vermilion maxi skirt is just what my vacation wardrobe has been missing, thanks to its playful shape and bold shade. The elastic waistband is comfy (and flattering), whether I wear it out to dinner or spend the day exploring, and it even features my all-time favorite detail: pockets. Most importantly, it's made from high-quality organic cotton that's breathable and built to last. At $60, I feel confident it's a worthy addition to my closet. If there's one pattern I can't get enough of, it's gingham. So when I spotted this luxe linen button-down dress in that very print, I was instantly lost in a vision of myself strolling through New York, a tasteful baguette bag slung over my shoulder to complete the look. The mid-calf cut is the perfect length, and I love the simple tie belt at the waist, which adds shape and a touch of visual interest. It's designed to be heat-regulating and exceptionally breathable, which is a must for summer travel. And yes, it has pockets. This split-front top style is everywhere this season. Naturally, I've been on the lookout for one of my own—and at $30, I think I've found the one. The hem hits just below the natural waistline for a flattering crop, while the stretchy knit fabric has just enough give to keep me comfortable and unrestricted on the go. I'm already picturing it with a flowy maxi skirt, a pair of linen trousers, or even some oversized shorts for a more casual vibe. And if I love it in black, I might just have to grab the heather grey, too. While imagining outfits to wear with the Eco-knit Split Front Sweater Vest, I couldn't help but lament the fact that I don't already own a simple black mini skirt. But after spotting this darling satin option for just $60, that problem's officially solved. Easy to dress up or down—and somehow still incredibly comfortable thanks to its stretchy elastic waistband—this flouncy skirt is bound to be on heavy rotation during my travels, from Cape Cod to Montreal. It's the perfect length to show just enough leg without feeling too revealing, and the timeless cut makes it a piece I'll wear for years to come. It wouldn't be a vacation haul without a swimsuit. With a few beach and lake trips on the calendar, I've been eyeing this stunning $50 one-piece. It comes in both regular and long torso lengths for that just-right fit, with adjustable spaghetti straps and a scoop neckline that'll keep me feeling secure whether I'm swimming or lounging by the water. The fabric is stretchy yet compressive (read: flattering and comfortable), and it doesn't stop there. It offers UPF 50 sun protection, a built-in shelf bra for extra support, and is resistant to chlorine, sunscreen, and oil stains—so I can finally stop replacing my swimsuits every year. Elevated basics are the MVPs of my travel wardrobe. They make mixing and matching effortless without packing heavy pieces. Since my closet already has enough plain black and white tops to outfit a small soccer team, I've set my sights on this waffled sweater tank in a chic camel shade. It's just as versatile as other neutrals, but the delicate knit adds so much more visual interest than my usual basics do. It'll look great paired with simple linen pants or dressed up with a mini or maxi skirt, and the stretchy, forgiving fabric won't feel stifling in the summer heat. At just $30, I might be tempted to snag it in dark brown, too. I'm an unapologetically anti-shorts, but I'm determined to find a pair that actually keeps me comfortable without ruining my whole outfit. These $30 cotton pull-on shorts are as good a place to start as any—they're lightweight, loose-fitting, and have a longer hemline that won't ride up when I walk. The elastic waistband is perfect for staying comfy during long-haul flights, walking tours, and more, plus they come with two deep side pockets—ideal for stashing my phone and wallet when I'm running errands without a purse. They even remind me of last summer's boxer shorts trend (specifically this striped pair), so I'm excited to try out the look without spending too much. Love a great deal?

This National Park Is a ‘Waterless Sea'—and It Has Giant Sand Dunes That Glow Pink and Blue at Sunset
White Sands National Park is home to the world's largest gypsum dune field. While here, visitors can participate in activities like sand sledding, scenic drives, and ranger-led star watching programs on full moon nights. The park is best visited in spring or fall for mild weather, though the park is also pretty enchanting in the winter. Hike the Alkali Flat Trail for sweeping views of the dunes or take the Dune Life Nature Trail to learn about the desert ecosystem. Though hikers should plan to bring their own provisions, the visitors center does have grab-and-go food options. Rising out of the Tularosa Basin in south-central New Mexico is one of the country's most underrated wonders: waves of pure white sand spreading as far as the eye can see. At first glance, it looks like a vast expanse of snowdrifts, but step out of your car and you'll find it crunches underfoot. This vast, otherworldly sight is part of southern New Mexico's White Sands National Park. It's a special place that's been sculpted by wind and time into a dazzling, ever-shifting landscape. 'White Sands National Park is the largest gypsum sand dunefield in the world. It covers 275 square miles with glittering white sand and unusual desert vegetation,' Nicole Barker, the media relations manager at the New Mexico Tourism Department, tells Travel + Leisure . 'The park [also] offers several ranger-led programs that allow visitors to experience the park in a more immersive way.' Immersion is the name of the game at White Sands National Park, which tends to draw adventurers and solitude seekers—along with photographers chasing the golden hours of sunrise and sunset, when the dunes glow an ethereal pink and blue. Here's everything you need to know before visiting White Sands National Park: Sunset over the sand dunes of White Sands national Monument. White Sands National Park is open daily, year-round, except for Thanksgiving and Christmas Day. The park opens at 7 a.m. every day and closes shortly after sunset. It has just one visitor center‚ White Sands Visitor Center—which is where most people's journeys begin There is currently no way to stay overnight in the park, and there are very limited food options—the gift shop inside the visitors center has a selection of packaged sandwiches, bottled drinks, and snacks for sale. It is best to arrive with a cooler of food and drink. Entry into the park is $25 per vehicle, which covers you, your passengers, and any leashed dogs you may have. Purchasing your pass in advance online can help you save time, especially if you're visiting during the park's busy season. But, if you do, you'll want to download or print your pass before getting to the park because there is no WiFi within White Sands National Park, cell coverage is limited, and there are several service dead zones. White Sands National Park can also close unexpectedly due to inclement weather. The park can see high winds, which lead to intense, blowing sand. And during heavy rains, the back half of Dunes Drive can become difficult to navigate. Check the park's Current Conditions page for updates on road closures, weather, and activity availability. And when you do visit, Barker asks that guests keep one simple principle in mind. 'Please Leave No Trace when visiting," she says. "We are all responsible for leaving these beautiful areas exactly how we found them and helping preserve the land for future generations ahead of us.' Soaptree Yucca plants in the Gypsum white sand of White Sands National Monument. The best time to visit White Sands National Park is in the spring and fall. Fall is Barker's favorite time in the park, and she specifically recommends visiting between late September and late November to enjoy the season's mild temperatures. She notes that while both spring and fall are ideal if you want temperate weather for hiking, fall tends to be quieter, and spring can be windy. 'The temperatures during the fall are very similar to the spring, often reaching between 70 and 80 degrees," she says. In the summer, the park can be hot, with temperatures sometimes reaching 110-degrees-Fahrenheit. The rainy season typically begins in July, bringing with it afternoon thunderstorms. The rainy season can last through late September, which is when the park begins to cool. The park is surprisingly lovely in the winter, when daytime temperatures average 60 degrees and occasional snow adds to the beauty of the dunes. A driver navigating through White Sands. The park is just over three hours from Albuquerque International Sunport (ABQ) in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and just under five hours east of Tucson International Airport (TUS) in Tucson, Arizona. Because a car is needed to get to and explore White Sands National Park, many people visit the park as part of a larger tour of New Mexico or the Southwest. Barker notes that a visit to the dunes 'pairs beautifully with a longer southern New Mexico road trip.' There is just one entrance to White Sands National Park, which is also where the sole visitor center can be found. The entrance is located on US-70, between the towns of Alamogordo and Las Cruces, New Mexico. The entrance is approximately 20 minutes west of Alamogordo and 50 minutes east of Las Cruces. A visitor sledding down white sand dunes. powdery-white hills that look like snow can be treated as such, with sand dune sledding ranking among the park's most popular activities. Inside the visitor center's trading post and gift shop, there are waxed, plastic saucer sleds for purchase. Sledding is allowed in the loop portion of Dunes Drive, away from the road and where there is little or no vegetation. Barker recommends 'sledding at the Alkali Flat trailhead parking area,' which has some of the tallest sledding dunes. The Dunes Drive is a 16-mile scenic drive that starts at the visitor center and runs into the dunefields. The drive is a great way to access lesser-used sledding hills, hike trail-free dunes, or find photography inspiration. Along the road are wayside exhibits, picnic areas, and vault toilets. The first four miles of Dunes Drive are paved, and the last four miles are a hard-packed, gypsum road. Cars of any kind can make the drive. On the nights surrounding the full moon, in summer and early fall, the park hosts a Full Moon Night. 'On full moon nights, park hours are extended two hours from the normal closing time," Barker says. "Full Moon Night programs are held in the amphitheater with live music, ranger programs, and special guest presenters and artists.' People show up with camp chairs, blankets, and a cooler stocked with food to listen to the music or learn from a park ranger. Full Moon Nights typically last for two hours and are free, although the $25 per car park entrance fee applies. Backpacker Hiking at White Sands National Monument in New Mexico. ferrantraite/Getty Images To hike among the park's biggest dunes, head to Alkali Flat Trail—a not-so-flat trail (in fact, it climbs several steep dunes) that leads to a dry lakebed. The park calls the trail 'strenuous' and notes that it is five miles round-trip. The journey up and over the dunes takes most hikers around three hours. A more moderate way to explore White Sands National Park is the Dune Life Nature Trail, a one-mile loop that takes most people an hour to complete. The journey, while short, does a great job of showcasing the ecosystem that is created when two landscapes meet—in this case, desert scrub brush and gypsum dunes. The trail is located along the edge of the dunefield and showcases information on the animals that live within the park. From March to November, when the moon is full, the park hosts a Moonlight Hike. According to Barker, park rangers lead a Moonlight Hike along the Dune Life Nature Trail, a journey that takes up to two hours and costs $8 per person ($4 for kids ages 15 and younger). Tickets are available one month before the day of the tour via For another ranger-guided hike, check out the park's Sunset Stroll, which usually takes place during sunset's golden hour. "It's a great opportunity to learn about the park's geology, plants, and animals while enjoying the sunset over the mountains," Barker says. To truly understand the magnitude of the world's largest gypsum dune field, plan on completing the Backcountry Camping Trail. The two-mile loop takes between two to three hours to complete and provides expansive views of the rippling snow-white gypsum dunes. It is also a great place to catch the sunset. Outdoor patio with firepits at Home2 Suites by Hilton Alamogordo. There is no overnight lodging or camping in the park at the moment so you'll need to arrange lodging in the neighboring towns of Alamogordo (20 minutes away) or Las Cruces (50 minutes away). One of the closest lodging options to White Sands National Park is the Home2 Suites in Alamogordo. The all-suite hotel has kitchenettes and a pet-friendly policy. Barker recommends Hotel Encanto de Las Cruces, which she says has 'an ambiance reflective of Spanish and Mexican Colonial history and tradition.' The hotel has a beautiful outdoor swimming pool and an on-site restaurant and bar that serves up New Mexican fare. The camping site closest to White Sands National Park is at Oliver Lee Memorial State Park. It has 15 sites with water and electricity, along with 24 developed dry camp sites for tents, and three ADA-friendly sites. Camping reservations can be made online. Barker adds that the state park is vast and more than worth exploring, and it has 'hiking trails, an old ranch house, and natural pools.' Covered picnic tables in White Sands National Park. Apart from the limited, prepackaged provisions available at the visitor center's trading post and gift shop, there is no other food in the park. For that reason, most visitors bring their own food and drink and plan to picnic. There are three main picnic areas in the park, Yucca, Roadrunner, and Primrose. All can be found off Dunes Drive. Most of the picnic area is shaded, and there are grills near the tables. (Personal grills are also welcome.) Barker favors the Roadrunner picnic area, personally. This local favorite in Alamogordo offers a higher-end dining experience, which Barker says comes 'paired with the best New Mexico wine.' Barker describes Hi-D-Ho Drive-In as 'a vintage drive-in beloved for [its] impressive selection of burgers and burritos while preserving the nostalgic roadside dining experience of the 1950s.' Plus, their green chile burgers have a cult following. For a cool treat after a day in the park, swing by Caliche's, which has locations in both Alamogordo and Las Cruces. Barker notes that the dessert spot is 'known for its creamy, rich frozen custard, sundaes, and signature treats like the Green Chile Sundae.' This beloved eatery in Las Cruces serves up 'chef-inspired tapas with an award-winning wine list and craft cocktails,' according to Barker. Salud! de Mesilla has a great brunch menu and creative dishes like green chile pesto pasta and a Prickly Pear Creme Brûlée.
