This helicopter service is a sweet deal; non-revs can use it for $50. No jump seat-yet.

Codeshare with CAL too.

Same non-rev price. GREAT chopper pilots too. Several are former NYPD so they know the area like the back of their hand. Nice guys.

 

Awesome! The next time me and the wife head to NYC I'm definitely going to try it out. 100 bucks for two ain't bad. Is there usually room for non-revs?

 

Heck it is cheaper than a cab isn't it? How often does it have ope seats?

 

How sweet would it be to roll in for a flight on a helicopter?

For those of you that might use it..

The available seats situation has been good, but may change with this announcement.

 

Yeah, you just stole some serious thunder from my pimp-tastic mode of transport to Manhattan on Friday nights. Thanks a lot. So uhhhhh, I hear you should NEVER try to ride on them from EWR.

 

Are you going to pull out your goblet every tme you land at the airport so you can step out in style?

 

I'm gonna floss and fly that mofo all over this beeyotch.

 

You goin'? We don'e been up in 'der....
