Beat The Holiday Traffic With A 12-minute Helicopter Ride

Do you live in Western Connecticut and Commute into New York City? There are many modes of transportation available for your commute, and a new one is coming just in time for the Holiday Season.

For the average price of $175-$500 each way, you can book a Blade helicopter ride between Westchester County Airport and the West 30th Street Heliport starting on Black Friday, November 28. Imagine that Danbury and Ridgefield residents, you still have to get through I-84 and most of 684, but Exit 2 and Westchester Airport is a lot closer then the Saw Mill. Fairfield County residents - 287 to 684, and then for either, it's a 12 minute helicopter ride between the airport and the Helipad.

Just like the MTA value packs, Blade is also offering discounted rates for those who would like to make 5 or 10 trips into Manhattan for $195 and $175 for each trip. For those who like their privacy, or don't want to endure a 12 minute trip next to someone that is wearing too much Axe body spray, Blade will also offer private charters at your convenience and schedule.

The West 30th Street Heliport is located on the West side of Manhattan, and you'll be steps away from Hudson Yards, Madison Square Garden, the Javits Center, and Chelsea Piers. I've always wanted to take a helicopter ride around the greatest city in the world to take in that incredible skyline. $200 makes this dream extremely reasonable, now I just have to inquire as to how much cargo space would be available on the return trip.
