If you’re making your way from NYC to Boston, there’s certainly no shortage of options. You could hop aboard an Amtrak train, brave the bus, or, if you’re feeling particularly adventurous (or have a Noah Kahan-sized appreciation for the open road), take the scenic route up I-95.
But have you ever considered a slightly more extravagant alternative? Naturally, we’re talking about a private jet.
Well, now you don’t necessarily need to charter an entire aircraft to make it happen. Semi-private airline JSX is bringing a new way to travel between the Boston area, New York, and Miami, with scheduled flights that let passengers purchase individual seats while enjoying some of the perks of private aviation.
The catch? You’ll still need to make your way to the airport, and this isn’t exactly the budget bus to Boston. But for travelers who value skipping the usual airport chaos, a little extra legroom, and the novelty of flying out of a private terminal, it might just be worth a look.
Starting in February 2027, JSX will launch new routes from Hanscom Field in Bedford, Massachusetts, to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey and Opa-Locka Executive Airport in Miami. Here’s what to know about the new service, including routes, fares, and what passengers can expect.
The New Routes and Fares
JSX will operate out of Jet Aviation’s private terminal at Hanscom Field (BED), located about 20 to 25 miles northwest of downtown Boston and Logan International Airport. The expansion introduces two nonstop connections:
- Boston to New York City (Teterboro, NJ): Launching February 8, 2027, JSX will fly to Teterboro Airport (TEB)—located just across the Hudson River from Manhattan, and closer to Times Square than either JFK or Newark. The carrier will offer four daily flights Monday through Friday, two on Saturdays, and three on Sundays, directly challenging commercial airline shuttles and Amtrak’s Acela service. One-way fares start at $199.
- Boston to Miami (Opa-Locka, FL): Launching February 11, 2027, seasonal flights will connect Hanscom Field to Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF), situated about 16 miles from downtown Miami. Flights will run once daily on Mondays and Thursday through Sunday (with no service on Tuesdays or Wednesdays) through May 2027, with one-way fares starting at $599.
What It’s Actually Like to Fly Semi-Private
Unlike traditional commercial airlines that funnel passengers through sprawling terminals and long TSA lines, JSX operates out of private Fixed Base Operators (FBOs) and hangars. Because of that setup, domestic travelers can arrive and check in as little as 20 minutes before departure.
Once on board, the experience is designed to feel closer to a private charter than a standard regional flight:
- The Cabin: Both routes will fly 30-seat reconfigured Embraer ERJ regional jets arranged in spacious 1-1 or 1-2 layouts with business-class-style legroom.
- The Perks: Fares include two free checked bags, complimentary snacks, drinks, and cocktails, as well as free high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi. (Advance seat selection, however, costs extra.)
Know Before You Take Off
Before booking, keep a few things in mind: You’ll need to join JSX’s free Club JSX program to book the Teterboro flights, since the airport has restrictions on public route advertising.
The airports are also outside their respective city centers, so factor in extra ground transportation time and costs.
