After my delayed commercial flight from Boston, it was time for the helicopter transfer to Manhattan.

As a reminder, here is the itinerary followed:

Ground handling, welcome and boarding

Before and during my commercial flight from Boston, I received a few text messages from the Blade service to coordinate my arrival at the private aviation terminal.

When I arrived curbside, the Blade driver was waiting for me and I was immediately picked up by a huge SUV that took me straight to the commercial aviation terminal.

On arrival, my ID was checked and I was invited to wait in the boarding lounge. In this lounge, there were no soft drinks, just a coffee machine, which wasn’t very good by the way. The experience was pretty basic.

After a thirty-minute wait, passengers were invited to walk to the helicopter, and my luggage was carried by a valet.

Cabin and flight

The cabin is very small, with only five passengers allowed on board. When the cabin is full, comfort is truly limited.

The flight went smoothly, and after six minutes we landed on Manhattan’s West Side heliport.

Arrival and disembarkation

My luggage was taken care of, and after a trip to the bathroom, I hopped into the Uber Black that was reserved for me, which will took me straight to the St. Regis.

Bottom line

A really pleasant and seamless experience, but the prolonged wait at the JFK commercial aviation terminal made it a little less seamless.
