BLADEone returns winter NY to Florida flights with Aero partnership
The luxury BLADEone flight service bridging commercial first-class and private charter jets is returning for the winter season, operating between New York and Florida from November 19, 2026, through May 2, 2027, with per-seat tickets starting at $2,450.
Operating in partnership with Aero, the service utilizes commercial aircraft retrofitted to hold only 16 seats. This configuration ensures that every traveler receives a seat that is both an aisle and a window. Passengers on the New York-to-Florida corridor receive access to Starlink Wi-Fi, Lola blankets, and custom BLADEone dopp kits containing $800 worth of personal care products, alongside full bar service.
Blade Expands Seasonal Flights Between New York and Florida
The seasonal flight schedule runs from November 19, 2026, to May 2, 2027. Blade founder and CEO Rob Wiesenthal stated that the reintroduction is driven by the significant migration of New Yorkers to South Florida and an increase in business travel between the two geographies. Aero CEO Ben Klein noted that the collaboration follows a summer service operating between Los Angeles and East Hampton, positioning the New York-to-Florida route as the next step in their joint network expansion.
Major Food Group Provides Dining for Luxury Flights
In-flight dining for the service is provided by Major Food Group, featuring Pearl Street caviar, seat-side Caesar salad service, and BonBon candy. For entertainment, passengers are provided with iPad Pros showing first-run films and television series throughout the flight. Beyond standard passenger bookings, pets under 20 pounds are permitted on board for a $500 fee. Alternatively, travelers can purchase a $3,500 Dog Flight Pass, which provides priority booking, a custom BLADEone collar, and an in-flight lay-flat dog bed.
A-listers who have previously utilized Blade services include actors Jon Hamm and Zach Braff, Padma Lakshmi of “Top Chef,” Bravo host Andy Cohen, rapper Ja Rule, hotelier Sean MacPherson, and socialite Lauren Santo Domingo.
