Make way moguls! KDHamptons readers will be sharing your tarmac!

StndAir is back for a sophomore season! The brainchild of the ever-debonair entrepeneur Andre Balazs [of Chateau Marmont and Sunset Beach fame], StndAir launched last summer shuttling passengers on daily seaplane flights between Manhattan and the Hamptons. Flight schedules resume beginning on Thursday, May 24th!

When the airline debuted, seats were advertised as $495 each way –and they still are- but the inside scoop is that you can hop onboard for as little as $29 each way under their “nab-the-first-seat” option. Book a seat through the company’s online “Flight Board,” and prices increase incrementally as the seats are filled [i.e., first seat is $29, second seat is $95, third is $145 and so on..].

The candy-apple eight-seat Cessna sea plane takes you from the East River to East Hampton Airport in just 45 minutes, with a maximum cruise speed of 180 mph. Forget fighting four-hour traffic on the LIE, you’ll be sipping a cocktail in one hour’s time!

Set on heading to Shelter Island? The plane will drop you off on the shore in front of Sunset Beach [Andre’s beachfront boîte]. Flights depart from the city on Thursdays and Fridays and return to Manhattan on Sundays and Mondays.

One of the coolest StndAir features is its social networking component: See your fellow fliers by viewing passenger photos or sign up through your Facebook account [KDH sees a RomCom script already being penned!]. Find which flight your friends are on and have your own private party onboard.

If you’re “feeling fancy,” as StndAir says, you can even reserve the entire plane online. Charter flights are also available to any airport, harbor, or destination within a 300-mile radius on the East Coast: Montauk, The Vineyard, Nantucket~ pas de problem!

So forget the dreaded Jitney jaunt and jump on Andre’s Cessna. You may even nab a seat next to the lady of late-night TV- Chelsea Handler, his Hollywood heartthrob!
