The 5min DAL flight from Manhattan to KJFK
Delta partners with BLADE to provide helicopter transfer service from Manhattan to JFK, with all of the elite perks one would expect upon arrival at JFK. Beats a taxi or Uber! (airwaysmag.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Five minutes from Dallas Love Field? That's what I get for skimming the headline!
Why use the helicopter shuttle over public transit or taxi?
Upon touchdown, a member of Delta’s Elite Services team will welcome the customer, collect baggage and will escort them from the helicopter via awaiting ground transportation to the departure terminal, expediting security clearance as they head to their departing aircraft.

And you get to feel special, and even thumb your nose at the peasants while doing so! LOL.
Ground transportation...pfft....I won't settle for anything less than walking distance from the plane...As a matter of fact I want to be the last passenger to board so that I can make a grand entrance...lol
How do they figure that this will only take five minutes? It is 12 miles from KJFK.
They used math.
12nm at 140kts is about 5 minutes' flight time.
6 minutes if they only do 120kts.
