Representing a fresh, new approach to luxury air travel, Halcyon Jets a premiere broker of private jet charter services, announced it will be arranging helicopter packages operating between New York City and eastern Long Island for travelers eager to avoid the traffic-snarled Long Island Expressway en route to the Hamptons exclusive beach vacation areas this summer season.

“For our clients, time is more important than money. A helicopter flight arranged by Halcyon takes about 45 minutes from Manhattan to the East Hampton Airport.

The same trip via car can take upwards of four hours in bumper-to-bumper traffic.”

Halcyon Jets’ aircrafts, which include the Bell Jet Ranger, Long Ranger, Augusta, or Eurocopter, are replete with luxurious cabins that can comfortably accommodate up to four passengers.

Halcyon clients can choose to purchase helicopter packages through either the Southampton Flight Club Card or East Hampton Flight Club Card.

Halcyon’s Southampton Flight Club Card, which costs $7,700 (plus fees) includes two one-way transfers from NYC to East Hampton or vice versa.

The East Hampton Flight Club Card costs $22,500 (plus fees), and includes six one-way transfers.

Clients who purchase a Flight Club Cards will receive a complimentary bottle of champagne, strawberries, and a Halcyon Jets’ gift basket which includes Keihl’s Sunscreen, a Lauren Ralph Lauren Towel, Origins organic lip balm and a bottle of Evian Mineral Water Spray so as to go straight to the beach when you arrive !
