Very cool…. It sounds like it was a real time saver as well as a great experience. Wish we had a service like that around here.

Your logic is DEFINITELY sound. I’m a helicopter operators and have been extolling the vritues of helicopter flight for quick cross-town trips for years — and not just to drum up customers. Why spend an hour or more in a car when a helicopter can get you to your destination in less than half the time? Time really IS money for many people and paying a helicopter operator instead of a car service might cost more, but it’ll definitely earn at least some of that money back in time saved.

Glad you liked your flight! But don’t zoom the video back and forth so much next time!

It’s well worth it just to tell people, “I’m just about to get on the helicopter at the airport.”

There’s also great helicopter and seaplane services out of Seattle. I flew helicopter to Victoria, and seaplane back on one occasion. Not only was it a thrill ride in both directions, but it was actually very reasonably priced.

Its great to know about the NY helicopter service. I’ll be looking that up next time I have to go cross town. Thanks for the heads up.

Ok, I live in Southern California so this would never be something I use, but there is a point when the convenience is worth the extra $$. If this was hundreds more, you would have to weigh it a bit more, but $30?!?!? Just skip a fancy dinner one night that week and you’re covered!!

I’m all over it, if I ever could be! :( I’m stuck driving in SoCal traffic and snail speed!
