When you drive your car or ride a taxi to and from busy JFK and Newark Airports, does the word forever apply? To go those 20 miles by road and tunnel, an hour in jammed, honking travel can seem like eternity.

Now, a Gotham Air chopper, partnered with Helicopter Flight Services, can make the trip in about six minutes. The experience also leaves you fresh to face the flight or day in New York.

As an introduction, the first flight is $99. Thereafter, fees range from $199 to $219, depending on the time of day. The service operates seven days a week, and in bad weather,  offer door to door car service. Taxi fare between airport and city, when tolls and tips are figured in, is about $60.

The Daily Mail reports that one of the world’s busiest international airports is filling the air of its newly-renovated terminal with scented air samples from around the world. The Scent Globe permits visitors to sniff pleasant odors as they board and return from flights.

So far, the samples are familiar floral and spice smells of Brazil, China, Japan, South Africa and Thailand. Beyond Heathrow, there are many other familiar odors beyond the air of LHR. How about these not quite so sweet-smelling destinations:

Many senior travelers require cane, cart, crutch, wheelchair or other aid to fully enjoy their trips. Now, for those who want to continue lifetimes of creative photo/video ventures, the Cube is perfect.

A potential air tube transportation system may one day soon make the journey between Los Angeles and San Francisco in 35 minutes. Great for passengers for convenience and tickets may be as low as $30 each way.

It could be terrible news for never-ending-price-hiking airlines. Even more painful to oil companies is that Hyperloop will operate on economical solar power and compressed air. If cartel monopolies think the current drop in oil prices is crimping their regal lifestyle, the new power sources could have them sweating their burnooses off.

More good news for passengers, the system will operate from downtown stations, making it much more convenient than need to land travel from isolated airports. If interested in the Hyperloop project, go to JumpStartFund.com For additional info, go to losangeles.cbslocal.com/2014/12/17/la-to-san-fran
