Flying Manhattan to the Hamptons by helicopter

On a summer Friday the drive from Manhattan to the Hamptons can take three hours or more. Helicopters leave from the city's heliports and land at East Hampton airport in around 45 minutes.

Private helicopters leave on your schedule; shared-seat flights also run through the summer, the cheaper option for one or two people.

Larger groups or those with lots of luggage often take a small jet or turboprop instead; we price both.

Before you book

  • Summer Fridays and Sundays sell out first; book early.
  • Weight limits apply to people and bags; tell us both.
  • Noise rules at East Hampton limit some times of day; we schedule around them.

Shared-seat flights also run on this route in season. For a group, or to leave on your own schedule, a private helicopter is simpler.

Frequently asked questions

How long is the helicopter from Manhattan to the Hamptons?
About 45 min in the air, against 2 to 4 hours by road on a summer Friday. Allow a few extra minutes for boarding and the short transfer at each end.
How much does a helicopter from Manhattan to the Hamptons cost?
A private helicopter for the whole group usually starts from around $5,300 one way, including its flight back to base, before landing fees. The price depends on the helicopter, the day and any waiting time; we confirm it with the quote. Shared-seat flights on this route cost much less per person.
How many passengers and bags fit?
A light single-engine helicopter usually takes up to 4 or 5 passengers with soft bags; a twin-engine helicopter takes 6 or 7 and more luggage. Weight matters in helicopters, so tell us your passengers and bags when you ask for a quote.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Helicopters on these routes fly by sight, in daylight and good weather. If the flight cannot go, we switch to a car or boat so you still arrive.
Can I connect straight from my private jet?
Yes. We book the helicopter with your jet and time it to your landing, so it waits if the jet is early or late.
