San Marino was the most fun and came from a very lucky encounter with an Italian pilot whose mentor was a U2 pilot who ran the San Marino aeroclub and was able to clue him in on the grass runway heading uphill; Andorra (helicopter tour) the most picturesque.
Blade were offering €199 transfers when I looked yesterday to Monaco, but could be an old site I suppose. I went by helicopter and came back on the train. The best (cost/distance) helicopter flights you can do are the subsidised ones, for example Malaga to Ceuta with great view of Gibraltar, and also Foggia to the Isole Tremiti.
Andorra airport is great. You were the one that inspired me to add regional airports to my various lists of places to visit :-)
HeliAir Monaco only now seems to offer whole birds. I will have to check Blade.
But although convenient, I do think train is the best way to go. But I wish they could get a proper water taxi service up and running!
