| - JetSuiteX is a godsend - a really easy, quick, friendly and accommodating way to get around some of the Western areas.
So how does this work? Like any airline, you buy the tickets online through a normal system. The day of, you simply get to the loading area (usually located near a major airport like the Burbank Airport); give them your ID/name and wait in an interesting area whether it's an air conditioned hanger or part of a travel agency with comfy chairs. Bags are easily checked in and you're given some water while you wait. You're given about until usually 30 minutes before the flight takes off. When the time comes, you walk out to your plane, usually not too far off and board. It's a small plane (not super tiny) that fits about 20-30 people if I'm not mistaken? There's even a whole aisle dedicated to single riders which is appreciated.
I was afraid with the small airplane size that you'd feel absolutely everything and would make for a bumpy ride. However, after getting past the takeoff and only near the landing, the ride was surprisingly smooth and quick. Even better is the snacks. It's a short trip but you're given free drinks/alcohol included and a small snack. There's effective WiFi and even plugs. Service was super friendly and otherwise, everything was super smooth.
My only thing I would like to bring up is security. Don't get me wrong - I'd hate to wait in a line for hours like in a standard airport but there was little I noticed in terms of checking for anything on people (or their bags as well I'm assuming)? The JetSuiteX site lists that it is up to the discretion of staff and that they do check so of course, I give them the benefit of the doubt - but it's admittedly something that crept into my thoughts.
I only hope (knock on wood) that the prices stay where they are at now, the service/speed are just as good and the service stays around. Good stuff to JetSuiteX.
