Travelers who may be in a hurry to get to San Francisco International Airport or other airports in the Bay Area now have a quicker option. 

A new helicopter ride service in the Bay Area, called Voom, allows passengers to reserve a spot on a helicopter to take them to the airport. 


Plus, he said, "tt's probably the best view you'll ever get of the Bay Area."

A flight from SFO to Napa County Airport takes about 25 minutes. But the service comes with a cost. That trip will cost about $275. 

"This is certainly the first step into the future," said Cory Cozzens, Voom's country director. "Getting people where they need to be much faster."
