On March 10, Glocal Consulting was there as Atlanta developer Hal Barry, his wife Linda and Katherine “Deltalina” Lee (Delta’s saucy finger-waving in-flight safety video star) landed on top of the W Hotel Downtown’s helipad, the Southeast’s only high rise residential helipad. The commute commenced from Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to downtown in 4 minutes, zooming over rush hour traffic.

A one-way commute is $200. But if “time is money”, it may be well worth paying the extra bucks to get to an important meeting.

After the landing, guests (mainly media) were treated to cocktails in Mr. Barry’s private residence, over looking the downtown connector. Check out the video, narrated by Hal Barry, here.
