Update: DEAD!
Blade is having a free companion sale on helicopter rides that are booked today only!
A flight in either direction between Manhattan and JFK, LaGuardia, or Newark is normally $195 per passenger, but today you can book 2 passengers for $195!
You can also save another $50 if you’re a new Blade customer, dropping the price to just $145 or $72.50 per passenger!
A Blade flight takes just 5 minutes to get to the airport and access to Blade lounge is complementary before and after your flight. Ground transportation at the airport is also included.
Even if you don’t need to fly, this is a great deal for an amazing date with breathtaking NYC skyline views!
If you want to book a round-trip at this price. just book yourself as the main passenger with a free companion and then book another trip from your companion’s account with them as the main passenger and you as their free companion!
- You must enter the codes in the following order:
- Use new passenger referral code for $50 off: DANIELE831
- Use free companion code: BLADEFRIDAY
- Only applies to New York and Los Angeles airport trips.
- Companion must be on the same flight.
- Companion seats are non-refundable and non-changeable.

Blade allows for a 25 pound carry-on per passenger for free. If you need more luggage they can arrange for your luggage to be driven to the airport for $85.
Don’t have a companion? You can choose the luggage pickup option and get the $85 luggage charge refunded if you don’t want to take advantage of a free companion. You can’t use this offer with a free companion.
Have you flown on a Blade helicopter?

Does blade operate from JFK to Manhattan?
Sure, it works in both directions.
Can I book one way as the main passenger and the way back as the companion?
That’s what my dad called “oiberchuchem”
That’s what we call savvy!
Sure!
why sure? companion has to be on same flight!
“If you want to book a round-trip at this price. just book yourself as the main passenger with a free companion and then book another trip from your companion’s account with them as the main passenger and you as their free companion!”
or you can just open another account with a different email and use your name to book
I did that! Next week, going to and from JFK in =to Manhattan!
THANKS DAN
Good reminder at the end that you can only bring a carry-on.
Added, thanks.
They ask for a flight number and airlines, what if i only doing this for fun?
Then just select skip.
The 25 pound carry on is per person?
Correct.
Any way to go from jfk to Newark
Am flying next week out of ewr with my wife and toddler, any idea if my kid is counted as lap/free or i have to assign him a seat.
Thanks dan
“If the child you are traveling with is under the age of 2, he or she may sit on your lap for the duration of the flight. If the child is older than 2, they are required by law to have their own seat.”
You rock, thanks for quick response.
my child just turned 2 last week would they ask for proof of below 2 years old in order to fly?i totally am gettign frustrated trying to understand what mitzvha yingel is trying to say. how do you save money doing his mehalech?
plus 1 . how does this work if my child literallly turned 2 yesterday. can you please answer this question
What would you like me to answer?
Practically speaking, I highly doubt they expect you to carry ID for a 1-2 year old or will care if you say the child isn’t yet 2.
Ethically speaking, that doesn’t make it right.
got it have a gevaldige shabbos thank you for that response
Does this work to Israel?
“Only applies to New York and Los Angeles airport trips.”
Works in LA?
Seems like that have downtown LA-LAX.
Can i book now and change dates for free? is this one way to jfk or round trip? and can i use the lounge even if im not flying?

Thank you Dan. Booked 4 seats for my little boys as a Chanukah Present! Going from the thanksgiving Day Parade in midtown , lunch in the city, followed by a helicopter ride to JFK and then an Uber home for turkey dinner!
That’s awesome!

much cheaper with car service/uber without being limited to 25 lbs, and without having to stop Manhattan, if you just want to go from the airport to home
Blade just cancelled my flight scheduled for tomorrow morning do to cloudy skies. Not only don’t they refund your cc, but they only gave me a $195 credit. Even though I bought the buy one get one free.
