Gotham Air: Manhattan to JFK in 6 minutes for $99
A service like this existed until a few years ago.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_HelicopterIt took just a few minutes to get to EWR or JFK and cost $159.  The biggest selling point was not only the short commute, but that you went through security at the helipad very quickly, rather than waiting at the airport.I believe they were a victim of the financial crisis and died around that time.
