Currently helicopter transfers are suspended. They stay that they'll be returning at some point in the future, but haven't had any official announcements at all.
The prices for the helicopter transfers, when they do return, has increased to $395 per person to/from HPN, and $249 (I think?) per person to/from TEB.

I was told the smart level gives you free flights on that route. Seems you can buy a seat being a simple member but obviously doesn't make much financial sense. Would probably make more sense to upgrade if this is more than a one-off purchase.

Looks like as a simple member I can book a seat on a flight from New York to Miami when I toggle to "create your own" and pick the actual time the flight leaves. Some days I can do that for as low as $1,990 and pick the time the flight leaves and as well as the airports. Pretty cool stuff considering a charter would cost a ton more.

Looks like it yes. Don't have an issue with it if I control flight departure and select airports and only need a seat.
True. The way I see it though is if I was to share a created flight with other members, I'm sure the time will come where I am the freeloader in the equation and jump on a free flight. Looks like many flights are member-initiated.
