@karangoel Hey Karan! Our rates vary on route + promotion! We've done $95 helicopter rides to avoid gridlock traffic across Manhattan, all the way to our new One-Click Weekend promotion which includes a flight on a private jet + 2 nights in a suite at the Setai Hotel in Miami Beach for $2,250/each way! Check out the app for all our flights and feel free to use my code "BarronR46" for $100 off :)
