Baller Travel: Delta Partners with US Helicopter for "Free" Flights

July 21, 2008 at 4:56 PM | 0 Comments

Delta has just announced a deal with US Helicopter to fly first class and unrestricted economy passengers between Manhattan and JFK for free, as long as you purchase your tickets by August 29. The chopper shuttle service, which we tried out earlier this month, usually costs $165 one-way, including taxes and fees.

Obviously, if you're spending a few thousand bucks on a plane ticket, you probably wouldn't mind shelling out for a helicopter ride, too. But it's a nice perk for a small slice of Delta's passengers--and a move that emphasizes a focus on service and comfort in an industry currently serving up nothing but horrible news.
