Slightly cheaper than cab fare+tip from Manhattan to Newark, but ~40 mins faster. Then again you still have to get through financial district to the helipad...

Still not as good as having a private helicopter. I hear NYC to PHL is 30 mins by heli.

Doubtful, unless you're in some kind of military helicopter. NYC to PHL is close to 100 miles, no helicopters go 200 miles per hour.

UberX from Manhattan to Newark is $65 flat fare, no tip required.
The issue isn't price, it's time saved.
And coolness.
