Helicopter Flights to New York Airports on Sale

Sep 7th, 2007 | By Jared Blank

US Helicopter, the company that flies passengers from Manhattan to JFK and Newark airports, is now offering trips for $99 each way through the end of October (normal fares are $159/$169 each way). A cab to Newark with tax, tip and tolls will run you $60, and a car service runs about $20 more, so this is a legitimate alternative — plus it only takes 8 minutes or so (once you schlepp your butt down to lower Manhattan).
