Beach or mountains? That's the only decision left, upon the news that hop-on jet service JSX is bringing back summer flights from Dallas to Destin, Florida and Crested Butte, Colorado.

"Back by popular demand ahead of a busy summer travel season," they're re-introducing limited, seasonal, non-stop routes to these destinations that proved to be a hit in summer 2022, they say in a release.

Here are the details, per the release:

Nonstop seasonal service from Dallas (DAL) to Destin (DSI) begins Thursday, May 18, 2023 with flights operating twice a day, five days a week.

Morning and late afternoon departures from Dallas will operate on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Fares begin at $359 each way.

Nonstop seasonal service from Dallas (DAL) to Gunnison/Crested Butte (GUC) begins Thursday, June 22, 2023 with flights operating once a day, four days a week.

The flight will operate once per day on Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.
Fares begin at $429 each way.

Flights include a minimum of two checked bags for each traveler.

While these are considered seasonal flights, there's no end date yet, the company says.

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 just 20 minutes 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.

JSX’s nationwide network serves 43 routes across 22 key North American markets, they say, including new international service to Cabo San Lucas and networks across Colorado and Florida.

The new flights are available for booking via the JSX website.

American Airlines adds new roundtrip from DFW Airport to Venice, Italy

New destination from DFW Aiport.

Starting in May 2025, Fort Worth-based American Airlines is adding new flights to Italy, including a direct flight from DFW Airport to Venice.

It's part of a big Italy expansion with increased flights to Rome (FCO), Naples (NAP), and Venice (VCE).

“As Italy continues to remain popular for summertime travel, American is making it easier than ever for customers to shop, dine or unwind in their favorite destinations,” says American senior VP Brian Znotins in a release.

Tickets will be available for purchase starting Nov. 4 on aa.com and American’s mobile app.

American will offer its first-ever nonstop flight from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) to VCE starting June 5. Complementing existing service from Philadelphia (PHL), the airline will offer convenient one-stop connections to VCE from more than 230 destinations in North America.

Other non-DFW flights include:

Building upon its new NAP service that launched this year, American will fly nonstop from Chicago (ORD) to NAP in 2025.

Rome will see expanded summer service from Miami (MIA) and Philadelphia (PHL), starting in June. American already offers daily year-round service from Rome to Philly but now will operate a second daily flight during the summer.

American recently announced additional nonstop service to Europe, including resuming service to Edinburgh, Scotland (EDI), next year. The airline will also launch more flights to Athens, Greece (ATH), and Milan (MXP) next year.
