JSX adds new nonstop summer flights to Dallas' favorite Colorado mountain town

Dallas jet-setters have a new way to get to their favorite Colorado destination: JSX — the semi-private, hop-on jet service, is launching limited, nonstop flights from Dallas to Crested Butte through the summer.

According to a release, flights between Dallas (DAL) and Gunnison/Crested Butte, CO (GUC) will start Thursday, June 30 and run until Monday, September 5. They will operate twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays.

Introductory fares start at $249 one-way, including at least two checked bags, onboard cocktails, and gourmet snacks, they say.

In addition, JSX is adding new nonstop service from Dallas to Denver/Boulder starting August 4. Unlike the Crested Butte flights, this service will not just be seasonal; it'll be year-round.

For its Denver/Boulder flights, JSX will utilize Rocky Mountain Airport (BJC) in Jefferson County, northwest of downtown Denver and 20 minutes from Boulder, the company says.

Flights will operate twice a day (and once on Saturdays) between private terminals. Introductory fares begin at $219 one-way and include at least two checked bags, onboard cocktails, and gourmet snacks, they say. 

Dallas travelers who might want to continue on to Burbank, California (and vice versa) can do so with a quick stopover in Denver/Boulder, starting at $399 one-way.

“Our continued expansion into the Mountain West adds some of Colorado’s most idyllic and exciting destinations to our growing route map,” said JSX CEO Alex Wilcox in a statement. “With demand for travel continuing to rise, our new service to Denver/Boulder and Gunnison/Crested Butte will provide our Customers with readily accessible hassle-free flights that quickly get them out of the airport and into the action.”

The carrier is also introducing new same-plane through-flight service linking Austin to Gunnison/Crested Butte via Dallas, per the release: Travelers originating in Austin can reach Gunnison/Crested Butte with a quick stopover in Dallas, they say. The one-stop, same-plane service to Gunnison/Crested Butte from Austin starts at $349 one-way and will operate twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays.

JSX continues to tout its "no crowds, no lines, and no fuss" travel experience. Dallas travelers fly out of a private terminal at Love Field and can arrive just 20 minutes before "hopping on" their flight. Passengers have access to valet parking, Wi-Fi lounges, and speedy baggage retrieval. Touchless check-in and frictionless security minimize "dwell" time — less time on the journey, more time at the destination.

JSX planes feature just 30 business class-caliber seats in a unique 1x1 configuration, as well as complimentary service of drinks, snacks, and cocktails. The company also uses SpaceX's Starlink Wifi and has a pet-friendly policy that allows small dogs and cats to fly for free.

Founded in 2016, JSX relocated its headquarters from Irvine, California to Dallas in 2018. JSX debuted service from Love Field in June 2020, with introductory flights to Las Vegas and North Carolina, then added service to Houston and Austin, the West Texas golf resort Lajitas, and special routes to Los Cabos, Mexico, Miami, and Destin, Florida.

Customers can book tickets online at www.jsx.com, via its mobile app, or by calling 800-435-9579.

Texas hotel near NASA to get a Margaritaville makeover with lazy river

Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Nassau Bay will open in late 2027.

One of the signature hotels of the Houston Bay Area is undergoing a massive transformation. When it opens in late 2027, the new Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Nassau Bay will bring a boutique-style experience to one of the most popular vacation destinations in the state.

Located roughly 250 miles, about four hours, from Dallas in the former Hilton Houston NASA Clear Lake (3000 E NASA Parkway), the Compass Hotel by Margaritaville Nassau Bay will feature a comprehensive set of upgrades. Launched in 2020, Compass Hotels carry on the brand’s vibes in smaller markets and without the full resort price point.

Plans call for four Margaritaville-themed restaurants, a lazy river, conference and meeting spaces, and “fully reimagined guestrooms,” according to press materials. Once complete, the 229-room property will also offer marina access, boat parking, and a store.

“We are excited to introduce Compass Hotel Nassau Bay and bring this new destination to the Clear Lake community, just minutes from NASA/Space Center Houston,” Nassau Bay Resorts LLC CEO Kam Miramadi said in a statement. “We look forward to transforming this property into a welcoming hotel and recreational experience that reflects the character of the surrounding area while providing guests with a comfortable place to stay and explore.”

Nassau Bay Resorts LLC acquired the property in 2025. In June, it filed a notice with the Texas Workforce Commission that it would lay off all of its employees on July 31 to facilitate the renovations.

Margaritaville, named after the Jimmy Buffett hit, has expanded the singer’s easygoing vibes into a global empire. The company is also working on a $250 million, 334-room property on Galveston Island.
