Hop-on public charter jet service JSX is doing seasonal flights from Dallas to New Mexico desert ski town Taos. The premium air carrier is resuming seasonal flight service to Taos (TSM) from four West Coast and Texas cities including Dallas (DAL), Austin (EDC), Burbank (BUR), and Carlsbad (CLD) starting December 9, with introductory fares as low as $219 one-way.

JSX offers the only public charter air service to the Taos Regional Airport, providing crowd-free air travel this holiday ski season, enabling customers to spend more time on the slopes.

Their jets have only 30 seats, with business class legroom, high-speed free in-flight StarlinkWi-Fi, in-seat power, and complimentary inflight snacks and beverages. Travelers get at least two checked bags (weight/size restrictions apply), and according to the release, skis and snowboards fly free.

Residents of Taos and surrounding areas can also take advantage of a special JSX flight discount this season aboard the hop-on jet service for flights to and from New Mexico.

The release notes that Taos is one of the best destinations for skiing and other winter activities, with pristine, powder-filled slopes, diverse terrain, and uncrowded trails.

Nonstop flights to Taos Regional Airport (TSM) from Dallas Love Field (DAL), Austin (EDC), Carlsbad (CLD), and Burbank (BUR) will commence December 9, and will operate once a day, 4 days a week, on Sunday, Monday, Thursday, and Friday.

South Dallas' Bonton Farms to do innovative storefront at DFW Airport

South Dallas-based Bonton Farms is bringing some of its farm-fresh goods to the airport. According to a release, the urban farm and cafe will open a travel essentials store at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport.

The store will be located in Terminal A and offer jams, jellies, sauces, and fresh goods — part of a partnership between DFW Airport and Marshall Retail Group (MRG).

This will be the first Bonton Farms location outside of its flagship at 6911 Bexar St. The market is slated to open in 2026 after an expansion of Terminal A is completed.

Through this collaboration, Bonton Farms will be able to offer its sustainable products to not just local residents but also global travelers.

“We are deeply grateful for this groundbreaking partnership with WHSmith and DFW Airport,” says Bonton Farms president Gabrielle Madison in a statement. “This opportunity is transformative not only for our organization but also for the Bonton community. For many residents, this may be their first connection with the airport — whether through new employment opportunities or even, one day, becoming concession vendors themselves."

In addition to Bonton Farms’ offerings, the new store will offer other sustainable products from North Texas businesses. Some of the featured local vendors include:

Sons Coffee: Specialty coffee from Fort Worth featuring freshly brewed drip coffee
Lettuce Cook: Gourmet grab-and-go salads and sandwiches from Fort Worth
Pearl Honey Spreads: A woman/minority-owned business in Fort Worth specializing in honey-based treats

“Our partnership with DFW aligns with our company’s mission to deliver hyper-local products in partnership with emerging local businesses to global travelers," says Roddy McOwan, chief development officer at WHSmith North America, which owns MRG, in a statement.

“We are thrilled to award this exciting new contract to MRG and Bonton Farms as part of our ongoing effort to expand DFW's world-class shopping and dining options,” says Ken Buchanan, DFW's executive VP of revenue management and customer experience, in a statement. “This partnership underscores our commitment to supporting small, diverse, and locally rooted businesses — enabling them to tap into the airport’s economic growth as we expand our concessions footprint.”
