Marriott International has launched a “curated slate of exclusive experiences” in collaboration with urban air mobility platform Blade Urban Air Mobility.

Through this collaboration, Marriott will “engage guests with the opportunity to fly directly to and from the airport to their hotel destinations using Blade’s helicopter service, elevating their summer travel plans with unparalleled ease and convenience” according to a statement from Marriot.

Between July 1 and September 2, 2024, eligible guests at a selection of Marriott properties in New York City will be treated to an exclusive package that takes luxury to new heights: complimentary roundtrip Blade airport helicopter transfers, offering seamless connections to and from John F. Kennedy International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport.

“Spanning the Luxury Group’s portfolio of brands, this collaboration with Blade advances our mission to provide guests with exceptional service and amenities through innovation and imagination,” says George Hammer, global head of Luxury Marketing, Marriott International.

“As summer travel season can be especially hectic, we’re excited to introduce this bespoke partnership that will streamline and enhance our guests’ journeys before even setting foot in our suites”.
