Uber’s helicopter taxis to JFK Airport

Uber will now offer its helicopter ride option to and from John F. Kennedy International Airport to all of its users.
​
The ride-hailing company first made Uber Copter available to its Platinum and Diamond members in July 2019. However, the company announced that anyone with the Uber app can now use the feature. The experience first involves an Uber car ride from your location to the helipad situated in lower Manhattan. Passengers are allowed one suitcase and have to watch a safety video before taking off on their 8-minute helicopter ride. Once on the ground again, an Uber car will drive you to the terminal.

The cost of the service ranges between $200 and $225 per person. “The focus in the near term is to open this up to all riders, to demonstrate this vision of seamless connection between cars and helicopters,” says Eric Allison, head of Uber Elevate, the company’s flight business.

The best way to leave New York with the best view over the Manhattan skyline ! 

Uber hopes its New York helicopter project will pave the way for Uber Air, a taxi service of electric “vertical take-off and landing” aircraft.

Just took @Uber Copter from Manhattan to JFK — 7 mins from take off to touch down.

A luxury today, but travel in the future HAS to be this efficient. It’s also a beautiful view. □□ pic.twitter.com/EHSzTRZD0m
