Imagine this: you are in New York and you want to surprise your partner with a romantic short stay in Philadelphia. The city known as the Birthplace of America is ideal for a weekend getaway.
You have a few options to get there. Most people would probably take the 2 hour train. It’s relatively comfortable and predictable, but nothing worth remembering. A more scenic and memorable transport option if you want to travel in style and treat your partner to awe-inspiring aerial views of a million twinkling lights is to take a helicopter ride instead. The journey is all the more magical when one contemplates the vast panoramas.
A helicopter charter flight from New York to Philadelphia will take you 45 minutes, so you’ll save half the time on the trip. But more importantly, the trip itself will be a dazzling experience that will keep your partner dreaming endlessly and filling your Instagram feed with jaw-dropping photos. Because you know, there’s nothing like a luxurious experience to share to leave lasting memories.
Helicopter rental companies such as New York Air Wings can help organize this envious trip. Their fleet of helicopters across the Northeastern United States will quickly take you to Philadelphia, but also to the Hamptons or Atlantic City among many fabulous destinations.
Flying with Wings Air, you’re sure to live the high life (literally!). The luxury liner is known for its high-end helicopters (see below), but also for its experienced pilots. Besides high-end helicopter tours, the company also works with film studios to shoot aerial scenes for films such as The Bourne Legacy, Now You See Me and Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Founded in 2002 by former investment banker Javier Diaz, Wings Air also provides flying lessons.
So what can you expect for your weekend in Philadelphia? Wings Air has three models in its fleet that you can choose from:
- The ultra-luxury Airbus TwinStar
- The luxurious Airbus AStar
- The Robinson Raven II
The ultra-luxury Airbus AS355N TwinStar
The TwinStar Airbus AS355N is a twin-engine light utility helicopter that Wings Air has configured to be the ultra-luxury option for discerning passengers. The helicopter can comfortably carry up to 5 passengers (plus the pilot) with 3 to 4 suitcases.
With a cruising speed of 100 knots and a range of 265 nm, it’s the perfect option for traveling in style.
The luxurious AStar Airbus AS350BA
The AStar Airbus AS350BA is a single-engine light utility helicopter. Wings Air has configured it to be the luxury helicopter that can comfortably carry up to 6 passengers (plus the pilot) with 3-4 suitcases.
Just like its big brother, the TwinStar Airbus AS355N, the AStar Airbus AS350BA has a cruising speed of 100 knots and a range of 265 nm.
The Robinson R44 Raven II
The Robinson R44 Raven II is Wings Air’s entry-level helicopter. A little smaller than the two Airbus helicopters, the Raven II can carry up to 3 passengers with small luggage at a speed of 90 kts for a range of 215 nm.
We recommend the Robinson R44 Raven II for flight training and aerial photography.
Combine a private luxury helicopter tour with premium experiences
If a weekend getaway to Philadelphia isn’t what you’re looking for, Wings Air has so much more to offer. The helicopter company has partnered with several 5-star locations and service providers in the Northeastern United States to offer exclusive luxury travel experiences to their clientele. The collection of experiences continues to grow and currently includes private fly fishing trips in Vermont, driving a race car at the Monticello Motor Club in upstate New York and experiencing perfect proposition in the Tuscan-inspired Glenmere Mansion.
