And the benefit isn’t just that you beat the airport traffic by flying over it (total time to Newark: 7 minutes). It’s that you check in and go through security at the heliport.
When the copter touches down, you are whisked by shuttle bus to terminal C71—-and enter through a back door. If you have to travel on a crazy, high-volume day, being able to by-pass the long check-in line, and the even longer security line, at the airport might be worth the copter cost ($159).
They also have service to JFK, and I hear that their service from the 34th street heliport (which is much cheaper than the other services from there) is beginning in midJanuary.

The first time I visited New York was July '86, when Reagan unveiled the Statue of Liberty after its renovation. I took the helicopter from LaGuardia to Newark (from where I was flying back to London). We went several times round the top of the Statue, which gleamed in the summer sun; the woman sitting next to me said "I preferred the scaffolding."
