Blade Helicopter to Newark

BLADE helicopters is a fast and convenient way to beat horrendous NYC traffic and travel between Manhattan and NYC airports as well as The Hamptons. Blade was the reason that I picked Hudson Yards for lunch and sightseeing as it was a short 5 minute walk to the West 30th Street heliport and Blade’s terminal. Flight time to Newark today was 10 minutes and the views along the way were spectacular. And less than 5 minutes after our EWR arrival, a BLADE limo dropped me off at United’s Terminal C. Blade is a great way to travel between JFK/EWR and the City. And reasonably priced at just $195 after discounts.

Pleasant Blade West Lounge.

Check-in and open bar...

G&T while I wait to board.

As the first passenger out, I requested the co-pilot's seat.  Very cool.

And we're off for the short 10 minute flight to and over EWR.  With great scenery along the way.

Approaching Newark Liberty International...

We landed 10 minutes after take-off from the W. 30th Street heliport.

A short walk and we were curbside for the complimentary limo ride to our EWR terminals.  Since I was the only one going to Terminal C, I enjoyed a separate private ride.
