Tired of schlepping to the airport via plebby mass transit or, worse, a cab that smells like chicken fried ass? Starting March 27th, US Helicopter will be offering service from Manhattan to JFK, LGA, and Newark. The commute takes a lovely 8 minutes, and you're screened by TSA lackeys before you board — which means you don't have to take off your shoes with a bunch of strangers.

Great, fancypants, but how much does it cost? A mere $139 each way. And while that's not exactly cheap for a ride to the airport, it's pretty decent for a ride in a helicopter. Good news for everyman, but bad news for the shiny folk. Now that the commoners can hitch a ride, the celebrity copter-hop to loses most of its lustre. How ever will society get to the Hamptons now?!
