How to Get the Private Jet Experience for a Bargain Price
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.—JSX likes to brag that you don't need to show up at the airport until 20 minutes before your semiprivate jet takes off.
This newbie should have listened. I arrived at noon for my 1:20 p.m. flight from tiny Scottsdale Airport to Las Vegas in early June. Employees were in the middle of a training session. There was no one in the gate area but a pilot. And there were no bars or restaurants to pass the time because the air carrier operates out of an office park. (The departure lounge serves only tea and coffee.)
