5 people in a helicopter and one person who pays the same as everyone else on the flight gets squashed between 2 big guys in the centre seat, 4 inches less headroom and no view with someone leaning forward to take a movie or a photo for the whole trip. Add to that you pay extra for a locker and can't hear the pilot because of 3 different air traffic controllers all on the same frequency. Poor experience, wouldn't recommend for the amount of money paid!!! Fly with another company.
Superb! Flight that was supposed to be canceled for presidential reasons, but they were responsive and accommodating.

Perfect a must if in New York - amazing. Smooth ride and fantastic views. Excellent service from all staff
Hello Holly, Thank you for the amazing review! We’re so happy to hear you had a smooth ride and enjoyed the fantastic views of New York. It’s wonderful to know our Heliport Team made a great impression as well. We truly appreciate the recommendation! Cheers!
Nice flight but less flight time than the offer made in the offer. There were 4 of us and they filled the aircraft with 2 other people so that 1 person in the group saw nothing about the flight sitting in the middle. Price vs. deceptive experience
Bonjour. Merci de nous avoir fait part de vos commentaires. Nous sommes ravis d'apprendre que vous avez trouvé le vol agréable, mais nous sommes navrés de constater que l'expérience n'a pas pleinement répondu à vos attentes. Nous comprenons à quel point l'horaire du vol ainsi que la disposition des sièges sont importants, tout particulièrement lorsque l'on voyage en groupe. C'est précisément la raison pour laquelle nous proposons des visites privées : vous en bénéficiez en réservant l'ensemble des six sièges. Vous avez ainsi la liberté de choisir vos places et aucun autre passager ne viendra se joindre à votre groupe. Merci.
It started out rough, our flight was delayed, but they were able to reschedule for the next day. The ride was totally worth it and they accommodated us for the delay. Top notch.
Hello! Thank you for your understanding! We’re sorry for the initial delay, but we’re so glad we could get you rescheduled and that the experience ended up being worth it. It’s great to hear our team was able to accommodate you and turn things around. We truly appreciate your kind words! Cheers!
