    New Mexico called, and public charter jet service JSX answered. The aircraft service has extended flights between Dallas Love Field and Taos, New Mexico, making it easier for Dallasites to jet, set, and get those last-minute flight deals.

    You may be asking: What are the benefits of using a jet set service? The service provides a convenient and efficient way for Dallasites to travel while avoiding the hassle of overcrowded airports and long TSA lines.

    Additionally, JSX’s last-minute flight deals will allow Dallasites to enjoy a comfortable travel experience. The goal being convenience for all.

    According to the Dallas Morning News, the jet service wants to give travelers above anything else; more time to explore and less time flying. JSX offers 11 nonstop destinations to a variety of different cities in the US — including Miami, Scottsdale, and Las Vegas, to name a few.

    Currently, JSX is the only public carrier with direct flights to Taos from Dallas Love Field, Las Vegas Harry Reid International Airport, and Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Broomfield, Colorado.

    A one-way flight to Taos on the company’s 30-seat charter plane currently starts at $209 — who’s ready to fly?
