Creator's Key Takeaways

I had a brilliant time, and I think the price I paid for that experience was very reasonable.

But as a general commute that I'd repeat, then I'm less convinced.

Traveling solo with limited luggage and want an incredible experience, give Blade a go.

The inconvenience and cost to get into the Blade Lounge negates a lot of the touted speed and convenience.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Travel light to avoid extra baggage fees on Blade helicopter trips.
Use a referral code for a $50 discount on Blade rides.
Consider Uber or subway for travel with more luggage or during rush hour.
