She said the journey itself was fine but didn’t expect the huge twist at the end of the day.
Megs (@megsdeangelis) shared the story with over 600,000 TikTok followers.
“Come with me to take an Uber helicopter and immediately regretted but not for the reason you might think,” she said.
“This day took the craziest twist but we’ll get to that in a second.”
She explained the Uber service included a car sent to her home to pick up her bags while she had the time to hang out in the city.
After her bags were taken, she grabbed oysters and then headed off to the lounge for their open bar.
“They give you your drinks in to-go cups so you can take them on your flight if you want,” she said.
The best part of the helicopter ride was its speed: “It literally only takes five minutes to get there instead of being stuck there for an hour that probably would cost you $90,” she said.
Once the helicopter lands, there are also cars waiting to take the passenger straight to their airport terminal.
The big twist to her day arrived when Megs attempted to check in for her flight: “I realized that I actually booked my flight for next week and I had to Uber home,” she said.
People were curious about the ride — many wondered how much the trip cost.
“So an Uber would’ve been 90 but how much was the helicopter?” asked one viewer.
Megs revealed it was worth it for her: “$160 but $220 if you have bags, worth it my opinion bc you also get a tour and open bar,” she replied.
Others didn’t think showing up a week early was a big deal: “It’s no biggie, just do it again next week,” joked another commenter.
