It’s shaping up to be an extremely busy winter holiday season, but semi-private air company JSX has travelers covered with hassle-free — and luxe — flights starting at just $300 one-way.

The Federal Aviation Administration is looking to implement more stringent safety requirements on public charter airlines such as JSX.

Next month’s total solar eclipse, which will pass directly over a wide swath of North America, is drawing an awful lot of interest from folks who are willing to travel to see it in all its glory. In order to do so, they need to place themselves somewhere along its path of totality—geographic locations from which the sun will appear to be entirely obstructed by the moon’s shadow passing between the Earth and its nearest star.

Semi-private jet company JSX is offering a luxurious way to see the total solar eclipse next month with a sweepstakes that will give 12 lucky space fans the chance to see the phenomenon from the air for free.

Just in time for snowbird season, semi-private air carrier JSX has just announced three new seasonal routes on the East Coast connecting the New York Metropolitan Area with Florida.
