The captain came on to provide some flight information, timing, altitude, and a Vegas weather update. I was in row 2 though so I have a great view of the ground as we flew to Vegas to keep me entertained. I was tired and hoping to maybe close my eyes a bit, but the seats weren't high enough to rest my head. First thing I noticed is while the plane it clean, it shows some wear and tear. The plane is a smaller jet, but you can still stand up to walk to your seat. You walk down a short regular office looking hallways, and right onto the plane! Talk about your curbside service! The waiting room is small, although it appears to be 3 rooms? I didn't have time to check them all out because we told they were ready to board in about 3 minutes. I think the check in took less than 10 minutes. While I was standing in a short line waiting to be checked in, a JSX employee asked me for my ID and a the (what seems to be now standard) Covid-19 questions to help speed the process of getting my boarding pass. I finally just hopped out in the driveway because we weren't moving at the moment. There was also confusion in the small parking lot as cars that were dropping people off didn't seem to know where to go.

Thanks to traffic, I arrived only 15 minutes before the flight. I had 3 flights to choose from leaving on a Sunday, but only 1 flight available to return on Tuesday. The booking was done for me, so that was easy.

Similarly, Southwest is $49 for certain flights, but you get what you pay for. I needed to take a solo trip over and back so why not give this a chance.įirst, you can usually find flight (right now) for $99 if you book in advance.

Being a medium spending Vegas gambler, MGM Resorts offered me a credit towards a flight on JSX from Santa Ana to Vegas.
