As
far as I know, Uber provides helicopters in several cities or places,
but three cities are well known, they are:
-
Dubai (United Arab Emirates).
-
Las Vegas (USA)
-
New York (USA)
The
services mainly from or to airport. The cost of ride is varied in
Dubai, Las Vegas and New York.
In
Dubai, group of 6 individuals may book a helicopter for AED 530 (US$
145) per individual. If one person books, it would cost for AED 630
(US$ 172).
The
distance is around 34 km (21 miles), flight from the Palm Jumeirah
resort to down town, Dubai.
The
Palm Jumeirah is an artificial island, famous for luxuries of hotel,
apartment and restaurants.

In
Las Vegas, Uber Chopper not only for transport from and to airport,
but also provides views of the city. A group of 4 – 8 people could
cost US$ 100 per person.
In
New York, we may take helicopter from Manhattan to JF. Kennedey
airport or vice versa. The cost around
US$ 205. It includes car service from our house to helipad.
By
next few years, 3 other cities are planning to provide Uber
Helicopter services:
-
Dallas, Texas (USA).
-
Los Angeles (USA)
-
Melbourne (Australia)
Yes,
the cost is quite expensive, but will advantage if we ride in rush
hours in crowd cities.
