Having grown up in LA, public transportation is for people who can't afford cars. There is very little money invested in public transportation. I haven't ever taken public transportation in the decades I've lived in LA.

I know public transit in LA has a bad reputation. But I found it quite useful. I took it everywhere, including LAX. I just wish the LAX metro station was actually at the airport!

Thank you! By the end of April I should get there!

Alternatively, you could have taken the subway downtown to Union Station, and then the Metrolink to the KBUR station, but you'd still have the half-mile walk to the JSX terminal. LA has actually invested a ton in public transportation but there's a percieved safety issue. The city tolerates loitering on the MTA trains which turns people off. BTW - The JSX hanger and the other glass hanger next to it used to flank the main terminal, and are two of the three original 1930 airport structures, the other being the main airport terminal which is still in use today. The hangars were at some point relocated to their present location.

It's pretty cool that they can relocate whole hangars like that! I found the public transit much better now than when I first visited some 20 years ago. The investments have paid off.

The word "hangar" is pronounced "HANG-er" or "HANG-ur" Your pronunciation is great as always. I usually fly Southwest Airlines if possible, so I checked. The ROUND TRIP price from Burbank to Las Vegas and back is $139.96 including 2 carry on and 2 checked bags. I'm enjoying your travel channel, I've been watching your A/V channel for a while.

That's a great price!

Cool video. Too expensive for LA to Vegas though for what you get. I could see 250 if more legroom, better snacks. And charging for seat selections? I have flown 9n that kind of plane at least 4x in the past as a rural connection via a main airline. They have small planes like this in Mexico, cheaper as well.

@MarkusTravels 5 күн бұрын

If you check your bag, the legroom is ok. My mistake was bringing the small backpack onboard.

Take a uber

@MarkusTravels 3 ай бұрын

Uber is nice! But it shouldn't be necessary in a city with good public transit, like LA.

@margaretr.4427 Ай бұрын

That’s the mistake, LA does not have good public transit! Most people who can afford it use rideshares

@MarkusTravels Ай бұрын

@@margaretr.4427 I can think of very few US cities that have better public transportation than LA. For me it's usually worked really well.

@margaretr.4427 Ай бұрын

@@MarkusTravels it must depend on which part of LA you are using it in! I’m out in the valley and it’s the bus or 1 Metrolink route. I’m not sure who wants to sit in the 110 degree valley heat in the summer waiting for the bus. I find the public transit in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, SF and NY much better.

So, the net loss due to the torturous (and possibly dangerous) commuting was 40 minutes or so. Thank you for affirming something I have concluded: JSX is not private. To suggest it is somewhat private because of an end-run around TSA and an abbreviated pre-flight arrival time is simply marketing hype. It would seem to me that the post-arrival walk to transportation completely cancels any suggestion of a quasi-private experience.

@MarkusTravels 2 ай бұрын

Interesting point about the safety on public transportation. I didn't even consider it, as I'm used to transit here in Switzerland. Where I work, we have senior executives taking the train every morning. That's not the clientele you get on an LA bus.

@ivayloirlichanov2590 2 ай бұрын

Is this considered a private or a charter flight?

@MarkusTravels 2 ай бұрын

These flights are scheduled and open to the public, so it's not charter. I prefer to call it semi-private, because it has some aspects of a private jet, and other aspects of a normal airline.

@goteborg0916 3 ай бұрын

We all know that the public transportation in Europe is a lot better and a lot different than it is in the United States of America Nowadays people can just take an Uber Which is fine The nice thing about this airline is that it’s easy to board a plane. It’s easy to get parking at a smaller airport. It’s everything is easier with a smaller airport. It’s like flying into Colorado Springs instead of Denver airport. I love your videos, but this was way too negative I have seen other travelers such as you fly on this airline, and they had only great reviews

@MarkusTravels 3 ай бұрын

I don't think JSX is a bad airline at all. It just wasn't a good fit for my travel style. Many people would love the product!

My friend. This is America not Switzerland. You better prepare to get assaulted taking the subway or bus. The common method is to use Uber in LA. That city sucks. I used to work for JSX. BUR is rented through the Earhart family so they can’t modify the lobby too much. DAL and LAS look much nicer and PHX looks the nicest. You seem like a very nice guy but trust Americans less. We are awful.

I'm happy to use Uber when there is no public transportation available. But I find the system in LA to be quite good, and a lot better than many people's impressions. And also a lot more extensive than many other American cities.
