The special service dubbed "UBERchopper, powered by BLADE", is priced at US$695 a seat (one-way), and will shuttle festival-goers from Los Angeles to Palm Springs, close to the Coachella location. The package, which includes private Uber transport to Van Nuys Airport, will see the journey to the festival – roughly 130-miles by car – cut down to just 55 minutes, according to Blade CEO Rob Wiesenthal (via Billboard).
