JetSuiteX Has A Private Jet Partnership With JetBlue

JetBlue makes an economy flight feel like a first-class experience. And now, you can take your JetBlue journey even further and go full-on private jet.

If you want to upgrade your flight to the celebrity status of a private jet, it’s doable thanks to JetBlue’s new partnership with charter airline JetSuiteX. JetSuiteX flies private planes along the West Coast and now JetBlue passengers can book seats on those exclusive flights.

There are only 36 seats available on a JetSuiteX plane. Passengers have 36 inches of legroom, just like they would in an average business class flight. Each seat has two outlets, comes with two checked bags, snacks and a beverage.

Wondering how much this will cost you? Well, it’s not quite the thousands you might imagine. We found flights from Burbank (LA) to Concord (San Fran) for $219. Although, they’re one-way tickets, so you still need to have a bit of the high-roller in you to fly this way.

It all works because of a “codeshare.” That’s what it’s called when an airline sells tickets for another airline’s flights. For instance, Delta might sell seats on an Air France flight to Paris or vice versa. You’ve probably seen this frequently if you spend a lot of time (like we do) daydreaming on Google Flights.

JetBlue and JetSuiteX’s codeshare is the first partnership between a major airline and a semi-private charter service.

Right now, the codeshare operates out of smaller airports between West Coast cities such as Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco. Seasonally, there are special flights for Coachella and the Sundance Film Festival.

You get the red carpet treatment when you fly private. It’s as simple as rolling up to the airport 15 to 20 minutes before flying, instead of hours before to make it through security. Thank you, private jet terminals.
