Two New Services For JFK Travelers
Traveling from New York City to London has never been easier thanks to a new perk from all-premium-class Eos Airlines. If you buy an unrestricted ticket between JFK and London's Stansted airport on Eos, they will cover the cost of helicopter transfers to/from the Wall Street or East 34th Street heliports in Manhattan. US Helicopter provides the eight minute ride for Eos customers.Simply check-in at the heliport and board one of US Helicopter's Sikorsky choppers after a brief screening by a TSA agent. An Eos agent will meet you at the airport, and escort you either to the lounge or directly to your flight. You don't even have to handle any of your bags, as they will be checked straight through to London. Eos offers 44 flights a week between JFK and Stansted.
Another new service worth noting recently opened up at JFK. Itseasy.com, a company that specializes in expediting US passports and foreign visas, opened a 24/7 service center for travelers. Let's say you aren't allowed to board a flight because your passport doesn't have enough pages. Just head to the Hotel Desk on the ground floor of Terminal 4, and look for Itseasy.com's emergency help desk.
Other uses for Itseasy's new service desk include same day passport processing (in most cases), a Concierge service and the ability to secure visas for future travel. This is the first desk of its kind at an American airport. Who says New Yorkers aren't ahead of the curve?
