Verdict
Fares are shown for the city pairs it flies. It suits travelers who want a seat, not the whole cabin, on a route that is actually on the schedule.
The trade-off is a shared cabin and a fixed map. A city that is not listed is not a backup charter.
JSX scores 86 and ranks 3 in this set. The number is a weighted composite, not a star average.

- Flies 30-seat Embraer regional jets from private terminals.
- Wikipedia listed 58 aircraft and 28 destinations. The chief executive told the Dallas Morning News in 2026 that about 29 markets were flying.

- A first private-terminal trip without a deposit.
- A flyer who will not pay for empty seats.
Poor fit when
- A family that wants the cabin.
- A route that is not on the board that day.
- A pet, unless JSX confirms it in writing for that flight.

| Need a route that is not on the board | Weak | No published flight means no product. |
