How event weeks work

The closest airport (often JRB) handles principals and guests by private jet; SkyMatch flies the final segment by helicopter into the event window. Slots are pre-booked, ground handling is coordinated with the operator, and onward yacht / venue transfers are stitched in.

Airports & jet gateways

Principals and guests typically arrive by private jet into New York / Manhattan Heliports (JRB) or the nearest business-aviation FBO. SkyMatch coordinates the helicopter leg into the event helipad, ground handling and onward transfers — usually taking the door-to-door time from hours to minutes during the event window.

What you get

  • Confirmed slot at the event helipad.
  • VIP terminal handling at JRB.
  • Crew, luggage and security coordinated end-to-end.
  • Backup aircraft on standby for high-value movements.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a helicopter to The Hamptons Summer Season cost?
Private helicopter transfers to The Hamptons Summer Season start from €2,400 one-way from New York / Manhattan Heliports (JRB) for a light twin, with larger VIP cabins quoted on request. Final pricing depends on aircraft type, passenger count, luggage, waiting time and event-week slot fees. Send your dates and passenger numbers and we return a an operator quote on request, usually within a few hours.
How long is the flight from JRB to East Hampton for The Hamptons Summer Season?
Roughly 40 minutes in the air from New York / Manhattan Heliports to East Hampton, versus a road transfer that can take several hours during The Hamptons Summer Season traffic. Allow around 15 minutes on the ground either side for handling and security. We can plan the exact departure slot around your arrival flight or hotel check-in.
Where does the helicopter land at The Hamptons Summer Season?
Arrivals use the closest approved helipad or heliport to East Hampton; where the venue has no permanent pad we land at the nearest licensed site and arrange the short ground leg. Private estate, hotel and venue landings need landowner and local authority approval, which we obtain with the operator before the event week.
Can I still book a last-minute helicopter for The Hamptons Summer Season (Memorial Day – Labor Day)?
Often yes. Event weeks are slot-controlled and the best aircraft go 6–12 weeks ahead, but operators release cancellations and repositioning legs close to the date, and empty legs on the corridor into East Hampton can cut cost significantly. Message the SkyMatch mission desk on WhatsApp with your date, route and passenger count for current operator availability for The Hamptons Summer Season.
Are helicopter slots required for The Hamptons Summer Season?
Yes — major events use slot-controlled airspace and helipads. SkyMatch books slots and ground handling weeks ahead of the event window.
How early should I book?
For Monaco GP, MYS and Cannes Lions, six to ten weeks ahead is typical. Davos and Silverstone routinely sell out twelve weeks ahead.
What does it cost?
Charters for The Hamptons Summer Season start from €2,400 one-way; per-seat shuttle pricing is available on the Nice ↔ Monaco corridor during F1 and MYS weeks.
Can SkyMatch handle delegations?
Yes — multi-aircraft fleet movements, principal-and-protection separation, and onward jet handoff are standard.
How much luggage can I bring on a helicopter to The Hamptons Summer Season?
Plan on one soft holdall plus a cabin bag per passenger on a light twin. Hard cases, golf bags, camera rigs and hospitality equipment are usually fine but must be declared before the flight so the operator can run the weight-and-balance for the JRB–East Hampton sector. If the manifest is heavy we either move to a larger cabin or send bags on the ground vehicle that meets you at the pad.
What happens if the weather closes in during The Hamptons Summer Season?
Helicopter transfers to The Hamptons Summer Season fly under VFR minima, so the operator reviews the forecast the evening before and again on the morning of the rotation. If the window is marginal we shift your slot earlier, reroute to an alternative landing site, or arrange a chauffeured ground leg. Weather cancellations by the operator are not charged for the unflown sector.
Can you run multiple rotations for a group at The Hamptons Summer Season?
Yes. Most The Hamptons Summer Season movements are flown as shuttle rotations: one aircraft cycling between New York / Manhattan Heliports and East Hampton every 90 minutes or so, or two aircraft in parallel where the slot grid allows it. Give us the total head count and the time everyone must be on site and we build the rotation plan with the operator.
How far in advance should I book a helicopter for The Hamptons Summer Season?
For Memorial Day – Labor Day, aim for four to eight weeks. Event-week helipad slots, ground handling and crew duty are allocated in advance and the best aircraft go first. Late requests are still worth sending — we regularly place same-week charters and repositioning legs — but availability and pricing both tighten inside seven days.
Can the helicopter wait and fly us back after The Hamptons Summer Season?
Yes. You can either hold the aircraft and crew on the ground (charged as waiting time, usually the most convenient option for a same-day return) or book a separate return rotation at a fixed departure slot. For evening finishes we confirm the site's licensed hours and night-flying capability before quoting, since some venue pads close at dusk.
Is SkyMatch the operator for The Hamptons Summer Season helicopter transfers?
No. SkyMatch is an independent broker: we match your The Hamptons Summer Season requirement with licensed, insured operators holding the appropriate AOC and event-week approvals, and the operator remains responsible for the flight. You see the aircraft type, operator and terms before anything is confirmed.
Where exactly does the helicopter land for The Hamptons Summer Season?
Landing is either at the licensed heliport serving East Hampton or at a temporary event landing site when the organiser opens one for Memorial Day – Labor Day. We confirm the exact pad, the landowner or organiser permission and the ground transfer into the The Hamptons Summer Season venue in East Hampton in writing before the flight is booked — never as an assumption on the day.
How do you verify the The Hamptons Summer Season dates, access and landing permissions?
We work from the organiser's published schedule (Memorial Day – Labor Day) and re-check it against the official The Hamptons Summer Season channels before confirming any rotation. Access to the site itself (tickets, hospitality or paddock passes) stays with you or your host — we only handle the air and ground movement. The operator holds the AOC, insurance and the event-week landing approval; we send you the operator name, aircraft registration and permit status so everything is verifiable before departure.
What time should we depart to arrive comfortably at The Hamptons Summer Season?
Work back from the time you must be on site: the air sector is 40 minutes, plus roughly 15 minutes for boarding at New York / Manhattan Heliports and 10–20 minutes for the pad-to-venue transfer in East Hampton. That puts a typical door-to-door window at about 70–85 minutes. During Memorial Day – Labor Day we add a slot buffer because event-week pads sequence multiple arrivals.
