JSX airline will begin nonstop flights between the New York City metropolitan area and Naples, Florida, starting October 8, 2026. Flights will connect Teterboro Airport (TEB) in New Jersey with Naples Municipal Airport (APF), providing direct access to the Paradise Coast without layovers or long transfers. This route addresses current travel challenges where passengers often must fly into Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers and then drive 35 to 40 miles to Naples.
Ticket prices for the new route start at $605 one-way for the Hop On fare, which includes checked baggage, wider seats than typical regional jets, Starlink
inflight Wi-Fi, and complimentary snacks and drinks. The All In fare begins at $785 one-way and adds change and cancellation flexibility. Passengers can also earn 5% back on future JSX travel with membership benefits.
Airports and Travel Distances
JSX flights will operate from Teterboro Airport, located 12 miles from Midtown Manhattan, which travelers can reach by rideshare or car services in 20 to 35 minutes depending on traffic. The arrival airport, Naples Municipal Airport, is situated in the heart of the Paradise Coast, eliminating the need for a 35 to 40-mile drive from the nearest major commercial airport, Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), in
Fort Myers.
Passenger Experience and Check-in Process
JSX utilizes private terminals at Teterboro Airport, enabling passengers to avoid TSA lines and crowded gate areas typical of major hubs. Domestic flight check-in closes 20 minutes before departure, adding to travel convenience. The onboard experience features amenities aligned more with private aviation than commercial flights, including spacious seating and included baggage.
Context and Timing of Service
Naples ranks as one of the wealthiest U.S. cities and is a favored spot for snowbirds and leisure travelers, especially during the winter. JSX’s service launch on October 8, 2026, coincides with the start of Southwest Florida’s peak winter travel season, offering a streamlined option for
travelers from the New York area to access Naples directly.
