US Helicopter (www.flyush.com) is an independent air shuttle service that operates scheduled helicopter flights between Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and two Manhattan heliports: Downtown Manhattan Heliport at Wall Street (JRB) and East 34th Street/Midtown Heliport (TSS). The flight time is eight minutes and fares start at $159 each way. Flights operate hourly, Monday - Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:50 p.m. Flights connect to and from gate C-71 at Newark.

US Helicopter Check-in at the Heliports
Continental customers will check in with US Helicopter at the heliports where they will check their bags to final destination on Continental, obtain their boarding passes for their Continental and US Helicopter flights, and go through security screening prior to boarding the helicopter. As TSA security screening is conducted at the heliport, no further screening is required in Newark.
Continental Airlines Check-in at Airports Served by Continental
Codeshare itineraries are eligible for check-in on Continental's website, at airport kiosks or with a Continental Airlines ticket agent.
If the Continental and US Helicopter itineraries are booked separately, customers need to check in with a Continental Airlines ticket agent. To ensure passengers receive boarding passes for all flights and to confirm that luggage is checked through to the heliports, customers should advise the Continental Airlines agent that they will be connecting to US Helicopter in Newark.
