Fight global warming: take a helicopter to the Hamptons
NY Sun
New Yorkers interested in avoiding the gridlock of highway traffic on their way to the beach this summer now have the option of purchasing a Hamptons Helicard.
For prices between $28,000 and $82,000, Blue Star Jets is offering membership in what the company is calling the first-ever helicopter club to the Hamptons. They claim it will eliminate the woes of traffic on the Long Island Expressway. The different packages offered include ten one-way trips for $28,000, 20 one-way trips for $55,000, or 30 one-way trips for $82,000 between the city and the Hamptons. Each leg of the trip takes about 30 minutes and comes with complimentary Champagne.
