The BLADE Experience

Why Fly BLADE to the Hamptons (Helicopter, Seaplane, or Turboprop)

Skip gridlock on the Long Island Expressway and get to East Hampton, Southampton, Sag Harbor, Shelter Island, Westhampton or Montauk on a direct BLADE flight. Choose from scheduled by-the-seat flights, shared charters you can crowdsource with friends, or a private helicopter, seaplane, or turboprop with predictable summer pricing via Hamptons Passes. Depart from convenient Manhattan locations, move through private terminals in minutes, and arrive close to the beaches, marinas, and villages—so your weekend starts when you want it to.

Best Time to Fly: Beating Hamptons Peak Traffic (Friday PM & Sunday PM)

Demand spikes on Friday late afternoon/evening outbound and Sunday afternoon/evening inbound. To dodge peak airport and heliport congestion, target Friday morning or early afternoon departures and Sunday night or early Monday returns. Mid-day slots also fill fast around holiday weekends (Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day), so secure those dates early. If you’re flexible, consider flying into Westhampton (Gabreski) or Sag Harbor Bay and using a short car or launch transfer to reach your final address.

Helicopter vs Seaplane vs Turboprop: Picking the Right Aircraft for Your Route

  • Helicopter (fastest access to heliports): Best for East Hampton, Montauk, Southampton and Shelter Island with short ground transfers; great for tight schedules and point-to-point flexibility.

  • Seaplane (water landings near bays/harbors): Ideal for Sag Harbor Bay or Shelter Island when you want to arrive close to the marina; scenic coastal approach and light luggage recommended.

  • Turboprop (runway access + value for groups): Fly into Westhampton (FOK/Gabreski), then take a quick car transfer east; strong option for families or teams with extra baggage.

Choosing the right aircraft depends on your exact address, bags, and timing—pick the route that minimizes your last-mile drive while keeping your departure window wide open.
