Bilt Members can easily book BLADE airport flights via the Bilt Rewards app and website, where applicable discounts and benefits will be displayed in the checkout process. The discount will automatically apply, and Platinum Members can redeem any free flight credits.

Bilt Platinum Members will receive one (1) BLADE basic ticket for one seat on any regularly scheduled BLADE Airport or BLADE Line flight. Platinum members will receive one airport flight credit per occurrence of qualifying for Bilt Platinum status.

“New York has one of the greatest skylines in the entire world and now courtesy of BLADE, our Members can enjoy the best view of it on their next ride to the airport,” said Ankur Jain, Bilt Rewards CEO and President. “This is just another exciting way Bilt Members can get rewarded just by paying their rent and spending in their local neighborhood.”
