Why is Taos Air changing its operating carrier to JSX Air? We are excited to share that Taos Air has selected JSX Air to operate roundtrip flight service to Taos starting this Winter. This change will provide passengers with a reliable and seamless travel experience, getting you to and from the slopes or other destinations this winter, with more speed and the same customer-focused experience you are used to with Taos Air. Taos Air’s convenient, hassle-free, and non-commercial travel experience will continue with flights operated by JSX Air with the use of 30-passenger jets, private terminals, and the ability to check in just 20 minutes before departure. On flights operated by JSX Air, passengers will enjoy a more spacious cabin, Starlink in-flight wifi (coming soon), and the ability to accrue miles/points towards United and JetBlue loyalty programs. Taos Air will continue to deliver on its promise to be the ‘Easiest Route to the Rockies’ and will offset 100% of the carbon impact on routes to and from Taos.
When will this change occur? JSX Air will begin flying to/from Taos starting on December 15, 2022. Customers can visit JSX.com/Taos to book flights beginning November 10, 2022.
What should I do if I already have a Taos Air trip booked? Your originally booked flight will be canceled and all funds collected and previously paid to Advanced Air (the prior air carrier that was to operate Taos Air marketed flights this Winter) will be refunded to affected customers. All Winter passenger reservations have been held on a comparable JSX Air itinerary at the same fare. Passengers will receive information via email about the refund/rebooking process. Please check your email for communications from both Taos Air and JSX Air on how to confirm your new itinerary. If you have questions about your flight operated by JSX Air, please contact JSX Air by calling (800) 435-9579.
What if my new JSX Air itinerary does not work for me? Can I cancel my trip and receive a full refund? All Winter passengers will automatically be refunded for their previous Taos Air reservations. If the new itinerary that you receive from JSX Air does not work for you, please contact JSX Air at (800) 435-9579. You will not be charged until you confirm your new itinerary with JSX Air over the phone.
