Christmas cocktails in the Caribbean? Yes, please, Santa. Dallas-based semiprivate jet service JSX is introducing its first-ever seasonal flights to The Bahamas beginning December 14. Meaning: a few more months to make the "nice" list.

According to a release, the new limited service will fly between Dallas and Marsh Harbour, Abaco, Bahamas, with a 55-minute stopover in Miami, Florida. So, not quite nonstop, but not a huge delay on the way to paradise.

They'll operate five round-trips per week. While the service is considered seasonal beginning mid-December, JSX hasn't yet specified how long it will run.

The details are as follows, per the release:

New JSX flights between Dallas (DAL) and Marsh Harbour (MHH)

One-stop flights between Dallas (DAL) and Marsh Harbour (MHH) will begin December 14 and will operate five days per week on Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
Introductory fares start at $649 one-way and include at least two checked bags (weight/size restrictions apply), free in-flight WiFi, onboard cocktails, and business-class legroom.
Customers may check in just 45 minutes before their flight from JSX’s private terminal located at 8555 Lemmon Ave., Dallas.
Arrive at and return from Marsh Harbour Airport (MHH), GW7C+9P5, Marsh Harbour, Bahamas.

There'll be no mingling with the masses in long lines, JSX promises. "Upon arrival at Marsh Harbour’s main terminal," says the release, "customers will pass through the government-mandated security checkpoint with no lines, no stress, and an expedited customs and clearance process once reserved exclusively for private jet patrons."

"We are steadfast in our commitment to easing access to vacation-worthy destinations such as the Bahamas by offering the most convenient and hassle-free travel possible,” says JSX CEO Alex Wilcox in a statement. “We are thrilled to announce that we are expanding our flight network to the beautiful beachtown of Marsh Harbour, allowing customers the opportunity to skip long lines in style, with comfort, and ease.”

In addition to adding routes to the Bahamas, JSX will increase its service between Dallas and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, this fall; starting October 19, they'll operate10 flights per week. Details look like this:

Increased JSX Flight Service between Dallas (DAL) and Cabo San Lucas (CSL)

Flights between Dallas (DAL) and Cabo San Lucas (CSL) are ongoing, but will increase to two flights per day from October 19, on Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. This flight is the only regular international flight service from Dallas Love Field (DAL).
Fares start at $519 one-way and include at least two checked bags (weight/size restrictions apply), onboard cocktails, and business-class legroom.

JSX continues to tout its "no crowds, no lines, and no fuss" travel experience that made them especially popular during the pandemic. Dallas travelers fly in and out of a private terminal at Love Field and can arrive just 20 minutes before "hopping on" their domestic flight or 45 minutes before an international route.

Passengers have access to valet parking, touchless check-in, Wi-Fi lounges, and speedy baggage retrieval. The 30-seat planes are now beaming up to SpaceX's Starlink Wifi, and there's a pet-friendly policy that allows small dogs and cats to fly for a small fee.

All flights are available for booking via the JSX website.

Dallas convention center re-do will shut down DART stop for 3 years

Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) is about to shut down its stop at the Convention Center Station for the next three years.

The agency is being forced to close the station to accommodate the city of Dallas' construction and redevelopment of the Kay Bailey Hutchinson Convention Center. As part of the project, the station will be closed for the duration of construction, which is currently estimated at three years.

The Convention Center Station is a stop on both the Red and Blue lines, and the shutdown will affect anyone traveling to or from southwest Dallas. North Dallas, Plano, Rowlett, and Carrollton will thankfully be spared.

Rail detours
Riders who previously used the Convention Center Station will be directed to nearby alternative stations at Cedars or EBJ Union. DART has prepared clear signage, rider alerts, and bus connections to support customers and make navigating the closure as easy as possible.

Bus detours
Routes 28 and 106 will maintain regular service outside of downtown. Within downtown, instead of taking Lamar to the Convention Center, the bus will turn left on Young Street, right on Akard Street, right on Marilla Street where the Akard and Marilla bus stop is located (stop number 20685).

Outbound, routes 28 and 106 will turn left on Young Street, right on Lamar Street and then proceed on their regular route.

Layover at Akard and Marilla: Passengers deboard at Cedars Station and take the special South Dallas GoLink to bus stops at Akard and Marilla or to EBJ Union Station.

Route 224 will operate a detour going inbound. Inbound trips will come downtown via Elm and continue to Houston, turn left on Commerce and continue to Harwood. It will then turn left to go to the East Transfer Center where it will layover. Outbound trips will originate from the East Transfer Center and operate a regular route out of downtown.

Layover at East Transfer Center

Passengers arriving by train can deboard at Convention Center Station to board route 224.
Another option for passengers is to deboard at Akard Station, then board 224 at Elm and Akard.

Route 383 East Transfer Center is your final stop. 383 will not continue past this station. This route will be discontinued on February 02, 2026.

DART will implement a new GoLink Zone for Convention Center Station customers that will only provide service for trips originating at EBJ Union Station, Cedars Station, or the substitute bus layover location on Akard and Marilla and terminating at one of those locations.

The service will operate 7 days a week, from 5 am to midnight. Customers using this GoLink Zone may only travel between these three designated points.

All changes will be reflected online and in the GoPass app for the duration of construction.
