logistically could be difficult if both people are coming off flights. What would y'all do if one flight was delayed? Besides most Aman guests tend to be pretty private, I would doubt that they would be super keen on social media type networking that seems so common with millenials these days.

Will also not take the car, simply rent a car and will be also mobile all the time.
While I may see some sense in flying by Helicopter if itīs a scenic drive I would never pay 5.500 (+ 24% ????) for a 1:45 hour drive. But I guess there is a market and if people enjoy why not.....

There are some who will easily spend more than that on a bottle of wine at dinner
I would say the drive is closer to 3.25 hours. Maybe 3. First 45 minutes or so are on highway, rest is on very windy roads. The drive is not relaxing and if you're prone to car sickness then definitely not. All things considered I can't justify the roundtrip cost of the helicopter so hence while I loved Amanzoe for that reason I am not sure I would return. In comparison while Amangiri was almost five hours from Vegas it was a very easy drive and quite beautiful so I would definitely return.
