Khushi Suri, an Indian-origin woman, encountered the typical challenges of traveling in New York City, particularly the notorious traffic congestion. However, she ingeniously discovered a solution to this problem by opting for a helicopter ride instead of the conventional cab ride. In her specific case, Suri needed to reach John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens from Manhattan. Presented with the choice between a time-consuming Uber ride estimated at USD131.99 and 60 minutes, and a significantly faster helicopter ride costing USD165 and taking only 5 minutes, Suri made the decision to take the latter option. Eager to share her experience, she took to social media and posted screenshots comparing the costs and travel times of both alternatives.
