I took a 5 luxury bus from the Hamptons to NYC, and the high-end freebies I got on board were worth more than my ticket

  • I rode the Hamptons Streamliner from the Hamptons to New York City for $195 one-way. 
  • The seats were incredibly comfortable, and a bus attendant made sure I had everything I needed.
  • I had my choice of drinks and snacks, and I got a complimentary travel kit full of luxury products.

As of May, New Yorkers have a new luxurious way to travel to the Hamptons for the weekend: The Hamptons Streamliner.

The upscale bus service is a new collaboration between elite helicopter service Blade and luxury bus company The Jet.

The Streamliner offers a high-end travel experience that’s a bit longer (but far cheaper) than Blade’s $1,050 one-way helicopter rides.

I’d typically hop on the Long Island Railroad or the Jitney Bus to get home from the Hamptons, but I had the chance to experience the sophisticated alternative over Memorial Day weekend.

I ended up being the only passenger on an off-hour Friday return trip, but the Streamliner honored my ticket without hesitation.

Here’s what my ride was like and why my $195 one-way ticket was worth every penny.
