I paid $700 to fly round trip on a semi-private airline. It was worth every penny to save time and avoid the hassle of major airports.

  • I recently paid $700 for a round-trip flight on Taos Air, operated by the semi-private airline JSX.
  • I boarded my flight so quickly and my ticket came with snacks and beverages, even alcoholic ones.

It's meant to feel like a luxurious, exclusive experience — and flights can start at less than $200 each way, depending on where you're flying.

For the 2022 to 2023 ski season when I flew, JSX had partnered with Taos Air to offer round-trip flights between Taos, New Mexico, and four markets across California and Texas.
