Not To Be Outdone, Southwest Will Fling You From Islip Airport To Manhattan Via Catapult
-
I've flown in and out of Newark Liberty International Airport for decades, and it's fine for me because when I do, I'm usually headed to locations in New Jersey or Pennsylvania. But United, which has a major hub there, wants people to use it for traveling to New York City, and even though it's very, very close to Manhattan -- you can see the skyline from the terminals -- the connection to get to the city is a pain in the butt (two trains) and expensive. So United's solution is to offer helicopter connections whisking you from the terminal to the city. What a great idea! Oh, wait, it'll cost over $2,000 for up to six people, so you might want to make sure you can split the fare and get your employer to pay for it. (CNBC via Yahoo! Finance)
