Blade's Luxury BLADEone Jet Service Returns with Enhanced Amenities

Luxury aviation service BLADEone is set to relaunch its exclusive flights connecting New York and Florida, offering passengers a premium travel experience that bridges the gap between commercial first-class and private charter jets. The service, which partners with Aero, will operate a seasonal schedule from November 19, 2026, through May 2, 2027.

The BLADEone flights utilize commercial aircraft retrofitted to accommodate only 16 passengers, ensuring each traveler receives both a window and an aisle seat. This configuration provides significantly more legroom compared to traditional commercial flights.

Passengers can expect a suite of high-end amenities. These include Starlink Wi-Fi, Lola blankets, and custom dopp kits filled with personal care products valued at $800. The in-flight dining, provided by Major Food Group, features offerings such as Pearl Street caviar, seat-side Caesar salad service, and BonBon candies. A full bar service is also available.

For entertainment, the aircraft are equipped with iPad Pros pre-loaded with first-run films and television series. Travelers can also opt for a premium experience for their pets, with dogs under 20 pounds incurring a $500 fee. The BLADEone Dog Flight Pass, priced at $3,500, includes priority booking, a custom collar, and a lay-flat dog bed.

Notable figures such as actor Jon Hamm, Padma Lakshmi, Andy Cohen, Zach Braff, Ja Rule, Sean MacPherson, and Lauren Santo Domingo have previously utilized Blade's luxury transportation services.

"Given the significant migration of New Yorkers to South Florida, as well as the increase in business travel between the two geographies, there has never been a better time to reintroduce our service," said Blade founder and CEO Rob Wiesenthal. Aero CEO Ben Klein added, "Aero exists for travelers who want the privacy and ease of a private jet without chartering the whole aircraft."

The BLADEone service begins at $2,450 per seat. The partnership aims to bring the seamless experience of Aero's West Coast operations to the New York-Florida corridor.
