Bobby Williams was walking north along the East River yesterday... and he spotted this sea plane with a familiar-looking logo...



It is André Balazs' StndAIR ... The Standard Hotel's sea plane that will take you out to the Hamptons for ... $525 (one way) for the 45-minute flight. Regular service starts up again on May 24. Book your seats now! (Make your "Snakes on a Plane" jokes now!)





The service launched in 2011.

Noted: "It's all about sex all the time, and you're our star" edition



The Post checks in with a piece on the swanky Standard Hotel along the Highline.

Disgusted neighbors say they've seen men masturbating, professional porn films being shot and couples engaging in sex in full view of the stunning High Line park path running alongside.

The Standard's Facebook page bluntly encourages the explicit behavior.

"We encourage you to exercise your inner exhibitionist. Please share your intimate, and explicit photos with us -- those floor to ceiling windows aren't just for the views . . ."

The hotel Web site beckons:

"Whatever you do, just make sure the shots are HOT and that you get them to us in whichever way you can. It's all about sex all the time, and you're our star."

After the Post contacted The Standard for comment, the posting was abruptly changed.


And, despite the claim, the piece from the Post isn't an exclusive.
