Blade is bringing back its luxury BLADEone service between New York and Florida, and the perks are something else. Starting November 19, 2026, and running through May 2, 2027, the service uses retrofitted commercial planes with just 16 seats, meaning every passenger gets both aisle and window access. Fares start at $2,450 per seat.
The amenities list reads like a dream flight: Starlink Wi-Fi, Lola blankets, caviar, a full bar, and Caesar salad service right at your seat from Major Food Group. Each passenger also gets an $800 dopp kit. Traveling with a small dog? That’s a $500 fee, or you can spring for the $3,500 Dog Flight Pass, which includes priority booking and an in-flight dog bed.
Celebrities like Jon Hamm, Padma Lakshmi, Andy Cohen, Zach Braff, and Ja Rule have already flown BLADEone, and Blade’s CEO points to the wave of New Yorkers relocating to South Florida as a big reason for the relaunch. Would you splurge on a seat like this, or would you rather spend that money on the actual vacation?
