Fly-in service for A-listers is coming back and offering much more than bagels and apple juice.
Luxury helicopter and aircraft platform Blade’s luxurious BLADEone service, sandwiched between first-class seats and private charter jets, provides customers with world-class food, valuable gifts and, perhaps most importantly, legroom.
BLADEone flies between hubs in New York (Manhattan and Westchester) and Florida (Miami and Palm Beach) in partnership with Aero, also known as the “Uber for Jets.”
Commercial aircraft equipped with only 16 slots are used, providing passengers with a seat that functions as both an aisle and a window.
In the air, passengers have access to Starlink Wi-Fi, Lola blankets, special BLADEone dopp kits with $800 in personal care products, and full bar service.
Customers can also enjoy Pearl Street caviar, seat-side Caesar salad service, and BonBon candy. Onboard meal service is provided by Major Food Group.
For entertainment, iPad Pros are available on board, showing first-run movies and television series for the duration of the flight.
Operating according to a seasonal schedule, the jet service will start on November 19, 2026 and continue until May 2, 2027.
Notables like actor Jon Hamm, “Top Chef’s” Padma Lakshmi, Bravo host Andy Cohen, actor Zach Braff, rapper Ja Rule, hotelier Sean MacPherson and socialite Lauren Santo Domingo have experienced all the bells and whistles Blade includes in his experience.
“Given the significant migration of New Yorkers to South Florida and the increase in business travel between the two geographies, there has never been a better time to reintroduce our service,” said Rob Wiesenthal, Blade founder and CEO.
Premium flight experiences start at $2,450 per seat. Pets are welcome on the trip, there is a $500 fee for dogs under 20 pounds. BLADEone even offers Dog Flight Passes for $3,500.
The dog pass provides priority booking, a special BLADEone collar, and a flat dog bed during the flight.
“Aero is for travelers who want the privacy and convenience of a private jet without renting a private jet.
the entire aircraft,” added Aero CEO Ben Klein.
“We’re excited to join forces with Blade to bring the same experience and precision we’re known for on the West Coast to the East Coast. After working together this summer on our Los Angeles to East Hampton service, BLADEone is the next step and addition to the New York to Florida corridor to our existing route network.”
