And the best part is a Fora Advisor can book any of BLADE’s offerings for you. Get ready for a seamless, efficient and very cool new way to travel.

What BLADE experiences can Fora book?

Any and all of them: helicopter, jet or seaplane. A particularly popular service is their airport transfers. BLADE offers scheduled helicopter flights between Manhattan and JFK or Newark, allowing travelers to avoid traffic en route to taking off. Another oft-used option: scheduled helicopter rides between Manhattan and the Hamptons. (The traffic-logged route to and from the Hamptons is a notoriously enraging experience.) In Canada, similar scheduled flights are offered between Victoria and Vancouver. In Europe, the same applies to flights between Nice and Monaco. And you can still charter or crowdsource a jet to virtually anywhere in the world. 

What does traveling with BLADE look like?

Traveling via BLADE is more efficient, frictionless and far more scenic. But the experience encapsulates more than the transportation itself. Before boarding your helicopter (or jet, or seaplane), you’ll be able to relax in one of the company’s luxurious lounges. If airport travel is involved, when you touch down, a car will take you to your designated terminal. When it’s time to go home, it’s the same process, only in reverse: they’ll track your flight, a BLADE driver will take you to your helicopter and you’ll arrive back at one of their lounges, where a complimentary beverage awaits. 

Another reason we love BLADE: their MediMobility program

There are many reasons to love BLADE, but a big one is their MediMobility organ movement program. The company has partnered with New York University Langone Health to quickly and efficiently transport donor organs to patients. Organ transportation has traditionally been bogged down by a lack of resources, capable aircraft and human support. But BLADE has the technology, well-equipped vehicles and 24/7 support such endeavors require. As a result, patients get the organs they need in far less time. Plus, BLADE makes the whole process a lot more cost-effective.
