JSX launches new flights from Dallas to Cabo in time for a Feliz Navidad on the beach

Surely Santa will still be able to find you hre.

Dreaming of a warm Christmas on the beach? Open the closet and dig out the bikini: JSX, the Dallas-based hop-on jet service, is introducing new flights to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and holiday cocktails in cabanas are waiting.

Nonstop international flights from Dallas to Cabo will launch Friday, December 16, with fares starting from $599 one-way. While these are considered seasonal flights, there's no end date and they're expected to run through spring, the company says.

Details are:

Flights between Dallas (DAL) and Cabo San Lucas (CSL) will begin Friday, December 16, 2022, and will operate Monday, Friday, and Saturday.
Introductory fares start at $599 one-way and include at least two checked bags (weight/size restrictions apply), complimentary onboard cocktails, and business-class legroom.
Customers may check in just 40 minutes before their flight from JSX’s private terminal located at 8555 Lemmon Ave., Dallas. (Note that check-in for JSX domestic flights is 20 minutes prior, but 40 minutes for international flights.)
Arrive at and return from Cabo San Lucas Airport (CSL), Cabo San Lucas, B.C.S., Mexico at a private terminal, free of crowds and lines.

The new route comes after a successful test-run of pop-up flights to Los Cabos in spring 2021.

"We are steadfast in our commitment to easing access to vacation-worthy destinations by offering the most convenient and hassle-free travel possible,” says JSX CEO Alex Wilcox in a release. “We are thrilled to now offer a seasonal international flight service that provides an opportunity for Customers to enjoy the warm sandy beaches of Mexico this holiday season and skip long lines, unfriendly airports, and packed planes.”

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 out of a private terminal at Love Field and can arrive less than an hour before "hopping on" their flight. Passengers have access to valet parking, touchless check-in, Wi-Fi lounges, and speedy baggage retrieval.

The 30-seat planes will beam up to SpaceX's Starlink Wifi soon, they say, and there's a pet-friendly policy that allows small dogs and cats to fly for free.

A new partnership with United Airlines also now allows JSX travelers the opportunity to book directly through United and earn coveted United MileagePlus miles. According to a November 29 release, customers may now:

Book most JSX public charter seats directly on United.com via a special sales channel.
Earn MileagePlus miles when flying on JSX public charter flights purchased via JSX or United.

To receive mileage credit, travelers should present their MileagePlus number when they make reservations. Read more about the benefits, terms, and procedures here.

“This new partnership with United Airlines allows our Customers the opportunity to reap the rewards of flying JSX public charters with one of the most respected airlines in the world,” says Wilcox.

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, Las Vegas, and special routes to Los Cabos, Mexico, Miami, and Destin, Florida.

New daily nonstop flights from Dallas to Orlando, Florida will begin December 15, and new nonstop winter-seasonal service from Dallas to Rifle/Aspen, Colorado will start December 16.

The new Cabo San Lucas flight is JSX's only regular international flight service from Dallas Love Field currently.

Heads up to Dallasites commuting on the city's freeways: Three busy Dallas County highways were just deemed among the deadliest roads in the country, with I-30 in Dallas ranking as the fourth deadliest road in Texas. That's according to a new study based on the latest National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data.

The study, commissioned by Santa Ana, California-based company Future Bail Bonds, compared fatal crash data across 96,000 U.S. roads from 2019-2023. The top 150 "deadliest" roads were ranked by the total number of fatal crashes that occurred during the five-year period.

The No. 1 deadliest road in America is I-15 in San Bernardino County, California, the study found. The interstate, which runs from Southern California to Las Vegas, experienced the highest rate of deadly car crashes from 2019-2023 with 196 crashes.

East-west thoroughfare I-30 — the most deadly in Dallas with 76 fatal wrecks during the same time period — ranked as the 23rd deadliest road in the nation.

Elsewhere in Dallas County, Loop 12 and I-653 were among the top 150 deadliest U.S. roads, although much further down on the report: Loop 12 ranked No. 115 on the list with 45 fatal wrecks, while I-635 ranked 132nd with 43 crashes.

Considering that tens of thousands of people drive the road every day, a fatal crash is unlikely, but the data underscores the need for drivers to remain aware of their surroundings at all times.

The deadliest road in Texas is I-45 in Houston, which had 88 fatal vehicle wrecks in the five-year period. I-45 stretches from Dallas to Galveston, and it ranked as the 16th deadliest U.S. road. A specific part of the highway, the I-45 North Freeway, earned its own spot on the list as the 124th deadliest U.S. road.

"From 2019 to 2023, motor vehicle crashes claimed 186,284 lives across 96,257 roads in the United States, underscoring the persistent danger on American roadways," the report said.

In neighboring Tarrant County, two busy roadways appeared on the list: I-20 ranked 63rd on the list with 56 fatal crashes, and I-820 ranked three spots behind as No. 66 with 55 fatal crashes.

Eight other Texas roads that were deemed the deadliest in America with the highest rates of fatal vehicle crashes from 2019-2023 include:

No. 17 – I-35 in Travis County (87 crashes)
No. 22 – I-10 in Harris County (76 crashes)
No. 27 – I-410 in Bexar County (73 crashes)
No. 32 – I-10 in El Paso County (69 crashes)
No. 114 – FM 1960 in Harris County (45 crashes)
No. 130 – I-35 in Bexar County (43 crashes)
No. 131 – I-610 in Harris County (43 crashes)
No. 141 – I-10 in Jefferson County (42 crashes)
