• Blade is launching a new luxury bus service between NYC and the Hamptons.
• Prices start at $195 for a single trip. 
• Blade says the bus journey will have the same level of service as a private flight.

Helicopter chartering company Blade is launching a new luxury bus service between New York City and the Hamptons to bridge the gap between cheap bus journeys and its pricey helicopter flights.

Part of the appeal of its helicopter service is its nearly 40-minute journey time, which costs around $1,050.

But while the company's luxury bus still has to obey traffic rules, it aims to offer guests a more premium experience to distract them from the longer journey time.
