US Helicopter, Continental sign codeshare deal
By Andrew Compart, Travel Weekly, 6/11/2007 (excerpted)
Continental signed a deal to place its code, effective immediately, on US Helicopter flights from two New York City heliports to the airline's Newark hub.
Customers on the codeshare itineraries can check in at continental.com, airport kiosks or with a US Helicopter or Continental ticket agent. Members of Continental's frequent-flyer program will earn 500 OnePass miles for codeshare travel on the US Helicopter flight.
US Helicopter and Continental have partnered to provide eight-minute shuttle service between Manhattan and Newark Airport since December 2006. US Helicopter customers traveling on Continental flights complete security screening at the heliport, which means customers can proceed directly to their departure gate at the airport.
A one-way ticket aboard US Helicopter starts at $159 plus applicable security fees.
