JSX hop-on jet service is ready to take off from Love Field to two of Dallasites' favorite hot spots: Aspen and Orlando.

According to an October 19 release, new daily nonstop flights from Dallas to Orlando, Florida will begin in mid-December, as will new nonstop winter-seasonal service from Dallas to Rifle/Aspen, Colorado. Fares start at $299 one-way.

Pre the release, details are:

New JSX Flights between Orlando (MCO) and Dallas (DAL) – starting December 15, 2022

Flights between Orlando (MCO) and Dallas (DAL) will begin Thursday, December 15, 2022, and will operate once daily year-round.
Introductory fares start at $299 one-way and include at least two checked bags (weight/size restrictions apply), onboard cocktails, and gourmet snacks.

New JSX Seasonal Flights between Dallas (DAL) and Rifle/Aspen (RIL) – starting December 16, 2022

Flights between Dallas (DAL) and Rifle/Aspen (RIL) will begin Friday, December 16, 2022 offering a holiday-oriented schedule through January 2, 2023. The regular service will officially start on Thursday, January 12, 2023, and will operate once a day on Thursdays and Sundays with a weekly Saturday flight commencing on February 16, 2023 throughout the winter season.
Introductory fares start at $369 one-way and include at least two checked bags such as snowboards and skis (weight/size restrictions apply), onboard cocktails, and gourmet snacks.
Go Rentals and a luxury shuttle service will be available for passengers to book upon arrival to the RIL hangar for quick access to area’s resorts.

Orlando is the nearest airport to the DisneyWorld complex, and Rifle/Aspen provides easy access to popular ski locations, including Aspen, Vail, and Beaver Creek. (Trivia tidbit: Rifle is also the area’s most reliable airport for clear weather, offering operating conditions that allow for a more reliable flight schedule. JSX adds.)

JSX is also adding service between Westchester County (HPN) and Orlando, and from Burbank (BUR) to Rifle/Aspen.

"Our new flights to Orlando and Rifle/Aspen reinforce our commitment to bringing travelers where they most want to go, in the most convenient and hassle-free way possible,” says JSX CEO Alex Wilcox in the release. “Whether in search of snowy mountains or sun-soaked theme parks, our expanded service provides a better travel option for families, couples, adventure-seekers, friends, and business travelers."

On JSX flights, passengers can check at least two bags, sip onboard cocktails, and spread out with business-class legroom onboard JSX’s single-seating aircraft "where every seat is both an aisle and a window," the company reminds. The 30-seat planes will beam up to SpaceX's Starlink Wifi by the end of the year, they say, and there's a pet-friendly policy that allows small dogs and cats to fly for free.

JSX also 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, touchless check-in, Wi-Fi lounges, and speedy baggage retrieval.

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.

Customers can book tickets online at www.jsx.com, via its mobile app, or by calling 800-435-9579. Reservations can also be made via JetBlue codeshare at www.jetblue.com or through businesses’ preferred corporate system.

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.
