PRIVATE AIR NEW YORK HEADING TO THE HAMPTONS e global "Covid prison" gates are finally beginning to swing open, and people are very ready to travel and enjoy this summer. Everyone's on the move, with many seeking convenient alternatives to get from point A to B. e travel volume during Independence Day weekend is expected to increase 40% from last year. And like every summer, those flocking to the Hamptons from NYC seek to avoid four-plus hours of sitting in gridlock traffic. FXAIR's new helicopter access service – the "Hamptons 10-Pack" – is the convenient, 35-minute travel solution for those flocking to the Hamptons from NYC. According to FXAIR's President Gregg Slow, "Long Island's notorious summer traffic is the biggest headache for those traveling to and from the Hamptons. e Hamptons 10-Pack enables them to fly over the traffic, should they need a quick hop departing a few blocks from their home or place of work in the city, or are transferring from an FXAIR-procured jet to an Associated Aircraft Group Sikorsky helicopter." e perfect solution. Flights to the Hamptons will take off from New York City's Downtown Heliport, East 34th Street Heliport, and West 30th Street Heliport. e Hamptons destinations include West Hampton, East Hampton, Montauk, and Southampton (Dune Road). FXAIR guarantees availability for the Hamptons 10-Pack with 48 hours' notice. Besides the well-trained pilots and staff, the best thing is this is not a seat-sharing program that ensures privacy, safety, and security by limiting seating on each trip to members of the same party. However you choose to get there, we hope to see you in the Hamptons this summer. And do not forget to enjoy a live performance or two or three at the John Drew Backyard eater courtesy of Guild Hall. Bon Voyage, Regina Russo Editor-in-Chief
