BLADE’s Streamliner launch is changing the game for Coachella travelers. With SoCal Vibes Co. on board (literally), this isn’t just a trip to the desert—it’s part of the party.

Let’s face it: getting to Coachella can feel like a festival of its own, but not always in a fun way. Packed rideshares, overheated cars, and those dreaded pit stops can take the vibe down a notch. Enter the BLADE Streamliner, rolling onto the scene with a route from Los Angeles to Palm Springs just in time for Coachella 2025. And it’s not just transportation—it’s an experience.

This curated ride is taking a step further by teaming up with SoCal Vibes Co., a Southern California favorite known for its refreshingly bold craft ciders. Together, they’re making sure that every part of your journey—down to what you’re sipping—is as exciting as the event itself. SoCal Vibes Co. knows how to capture the energy of Southern California in every bottle. With flavor-forward ciders like the “Piña SoCalada” and “Best Coast” Semi-Sweet Apple Cider, they’re bringing their carefree, sunny vibes to the Streamliner. Each passenger will enjoy complimentary drinks from their collection as part of a curated beverage selection featuring other standout brands.

“Traveling to Coachella isn’t just about getting there—it’s about setting the tone for the weekend ahead,” says the team at SoCal Vibes Co. “Partnering with BLADE allows us to create a tasting experience that aligns perfectly with the festival’s energy.” But the perks don’t stop at the drinks.

With every Streamliner seat purchase, passengers will receive a personalized Dopp kit packed with festival essentials. This isn’t your average goody bag—it’s a full-on experience in itself. Here’s what’s inside:

• A Tasting Experience Pass for SoCal Vibes Co., valid at their Abbot Kinney tasting room or their Coachella booth, so you can dive deeper into their flavor profiles.

• Hydration and Recovery Must-Haves like Liquid I.V. and cooling eye patches to beat festival fatigue.

• BLADE-Branded Gear including a stylish hat perfect for blocking out that relentless desert sun.

• Additional Goodies from local and event sponsors, curated to help you thrive at the festival and look good doing it.

It’s all part of BLADE’s commitment to making the journey more than just a way to get from Point A to Point B.

“Every element of the Streamliner experience has been designed to reflect the spirit of the event it’s heading toward,” says Rob Wiesenthal, CEO of BLADE. “With SoCal Vibes Co., we’re not just delivering great drinks—we’re adding another layer to what makes this ride special.”

While the inaugural route connects Los Angeles to Palm Springs, future Streamliner plans include other iconic cities like San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Las Vegas. And if this launch is any indication, BLADE is on track to turn travel into something passengers look forward to—not just endure.

So this year, don’t just go to Coachella. Arrive ready, refreshed, and maybe with a cider in hand. With BLADE Streamliner and SoCal Vibes Co., the journey is officially part of the celebration.

BLADE Urban Air Mobility is transforming how Californians travel with the introduction of its Streamliner coach service. Launching in April 2025, perfectly timed with Coachella, the Streamliner will offer seamless transportation between Los Angeles and Palm Springs, combining thoughtful amenities with a refined focus on comfort and service.

Coachella has long been synonymous with creativity, community, and celebration, but getting there is often a challenge. The Streamliner bridges this gap, offering an option that makes the journey simple, enjoyable, and hassle-free. In addition to the new Streamliner service, BLADE will provide its renowned helicopter transportation to connect festival attendees to the event itself. Helicopters will operate between key cities around Indio, offering swift, direct access to the festival grounds.

“Launching the Streamliner during Coachella provides the perfect opportunity to show how we’re redefining travel for the modern event-goer,” said Rob Wiesenthal, CEO of BLADE. “Whether you’re traveling with friends, organizing a group trip, or looking to land directly at the festival via our helicopter service, BLADE is committed to making every moment of the experience memorable through seamless transportation and use of local sponsors.” 

The Streamliner experience begins the moment passengers step aboard. High-speed Wi-Fi keeps travelers connected, while USB charging stations at every seat ensure devices stay powered. Motion-canceling seats, our passenger experience representative, and carefully curated DOPP Kits from our sponsors keep our riders relaxed and entertained throughout the journey. Complimentary beverages, provided by Southern California brands such as SoCal Vibes Co., include a variety of ciders, seltzers, craft liquors, and soft drinks. In addition to its beverages, BLADE Streamliner offers passengers curated meals designed to showcase standout eateries from Los Angeles and Palm Springs aboard their trip and from the desert. Every detail has been carefully considered to make the Streamliner more than just a ride—it’s a way to indulge in the best that Los Angeles and Palm Springs have to offer.

The Streamliner’s debut will also include a charter service designed for companies and brands seeking to transport groups to Coachella or other high-profile events in the area. This service is ideal for businesses looking to host influencers, employees, or clients in a way that emphasizes convenience and builds excitement before arriving at the venue. After its Los Angeles–Palm Springs launch, BLADE plans to expand the Streamliner to other major cities within a similar driving radius, including San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Las Vegas.

Founded in 2014, BLADE is an urban air mobility company committed to creating thoughtful travel solutions. Known for its seamless helicopter and jet services, BLADE continues to evolve with innovative options like the Streamliner, delivering unmatched convenience and care.
