JSX quietly launches luxe new routes to Florida — here’s why you haven’t heard

JSX aircraft
JSX / JSX

Semi-private luxury airline JSX will begin flying to three new destinations, but don’t expect to hear much about them. That’s because the carrier doesn’t use standard airport terminals and faces restrictions on public advertising. In this case, the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey prohibits public advertising of scheduled flights from Teterboro Airport, where the new routes originate. 

For that reason, the carrier can only promote the routes via its loyalty program, Club JSX. Still, the new routes — to Miami, Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale — offer a tantalizing winter getaway for luxury-minded travelers. 

New Florida getaways from JSX

JSX offers a private jet experience with a twist. The company charters converted regional aircraft, offering seating for 30, with everyone in the same class. Legroom rivals domestic first class, and there’s complimentary Wi-Fi, snacks, and checked baggage. JSX flies out of fixed-base operator (FBO) and private terminals, creating a more seamless security and boarding experience. The formula works: readers of Travel + Leisure named JSX the best domestic airline for the second year in a row. Now, JSX patrons can look forward to warm getaways to several Florida hot spots via Teterboro Airport in Northern New Jersey.

In early October, the Miami and Fort Lauderdale routes take off, followed by Palm Beach in early November. The flights will operate daily, five days a week. Fares start at $615 one-way, letting fliers get in on the private jet experience without spending thousands to charter a plane. 

Besides the New York Metro region and Florida, JSX has an extensive network in the Western U.S., with stops in Reno-Tahoe, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and more. Prospective travelers can find the network on JSX’s “Where We Fly” page.

Copenhagen was just named the world’s most livable city. After spending half my year here, I’m not surprised.
Copenhagen

Every few months, I swap Ohio for Copenhagen.

For roughly five or six months of the year, Denmark’s capital becomes home. My boyfriend lives here, which means I’ve had the rare opportunity to experience Copenhagen beyond the typical long weekend itinerary. I’ve settled into routines that make the city feel familiar, from stopping by Netto for groceries to grabbing what I still maintain is the best cinnamon roll I’ve ever had from Lagkagehuset. I’ve spent warm afternoons swimming at Ofelia Plads and Nordhavn, wandered through neighborhoods that rarely make first-time visitor guides, and discovered that some of the city’s best moments happen when there’s no plan at all.

These 2026 island getaways are surging in popularity right now
Sandals St. Lucia Grande

Expedia just released its latest set of data: The 2026 Island Hot List, a trending list that compiles the emerging islands travelers are searching for before they become the next big thing. According to the newExpedia data, interest in these rising island destinations is up 55% on average year-over-year, while social media mentions have climbed 20% as travelers look for new experiences, better value, and fewer crowds. If you ask me, this is pretty surprising to hear it’s up 55%, especially when I thought islands were already one of the most popular year-round travel destinations.

Ranked #1 on Expedia’s 2026 Island Hot List is St. Lucia, an island I first fell in love with back in 2023 when I went on my honeymoon there. Once you visit here, it’s pretty easy to see why it’s ranked the best for romantic escapes. This destination has been a popular spot for anniversary and honeymoon trips for a long time now — and it doesn’t appear to be slowing down. As travelers move beyond crowded Caribbean hotspots, many are willing to take the extra trek to destinations like St. Lucia for it’s dramatic scenery, romantic resort options like Sugar Beach, and soft adventure focus.

Six Senses Rome is a peaceful retreat in a beautifully chaotic city
the lobby at Six Senses Rome

Rome is one of the most visited cities in Europe, and by all accounts, it gets crowded. But considering that it’s one of the world’s most important epicenters for history, culture, food and architecture, we can forgive the crowds. After all, complaining about tourism when you’re a tourist is not the way. But booking yourself a peaceful respite to start and end each day most certainly is.

I chose Six Senses Rome as my home base during a recent four-day trip to the city. The property opened in 2023 in the restored 15th-century Palazzo Salviati Cesi Mellini. The historic building sets the tone before you even check in, with restored 600-year-old columns in the main entrance, pale travertine floors, a light-dappled lobby overflowing with greenery, and a massive marble staircase that’s almost comically regal. And its neighbor is the gorgeous San Marcello al Corso Church—so you can start your sightseeing by literally going next door.
