I would especially like to thank Emile, Ryan, and Michael for the incredible experience they gave us on April 30th, 2026, during our 7:30 PM chauffeur + 45-minute helicopter tour package with Wings Air Helicopters. I had booked this activity to celebrate my partner’s 30th birthday, and it truly exceeded every expectation we had. It is a memory we will keep forever. Already during the booking process, Samantha answered all of my questions with efficiency and kindness, which made me feel reassured and excited before the experience had even begun! On the day itself, Emile picked us up and drove us to Westchester Airport. He was absolutely fantastic. He knew the helicopter tour was a surprise for my partner and kindly played along, helping build the excitement in such a natural and thoughtful way. The drive itself already made us feel incredibly special! Then we met Ryan and Michael for the helicopter tour, and from that moment everything felt magical from beginning to end. Our pilot was amazing: professional, reassuring, and attentive. He shared interesting information about New York while also giving us space to simply enjoy the breathtaking views together. What touched me the most throughout this entire experience was the way these three persons made us feel. They did not treat us like just another booking. They made us feel genuinely important, almost as if we were the only guests they had ever welcomed! That level of care, warmth, and attention is incredibly rare. Thank you again for giving us such a unique and unforgettable moment. We will cherish it forever.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing Wings Air Helicopters to celebrate such a special occasion! Creating memorable moments and making every guest feel special is exactly what we strive for, and we will be sure to share your feedback with the entire team. We hope to welcome you both back for another adventure soon!
Great experience. Just the pilot and 2 passengers so it was possible to see everything. 45 wre minutes so were able to relax and enjoy the flight
Thank you so much for your feedback! We are happy to hear that you had a relaxing and enjoyable experience!
The helicopter flight was great and more than expected. We extended the flight to 45 minutes to reach lower Manhattan. We booked the pickup by a car service. And pickup was possible even in Brooklyn. We just asked via email. We had to pay some additional 50 dollars. Communication was fast and easy. The pilot was also able to accommodate our wishes, for example flying slower at Midtown and Timesquare to allow for better photography. We can only recommend the trip with Wings Air! Greetings from Germany, Florian.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We are happy to coordinate ground transfers, special requests, or any custom details to ensure a smooth, first-class experience from departure to arrival.
Our experience with the Wings Air Helicopters team was absolutely amazing! A huge thank you to Samantha and Ryan—my wife and I had the best time. The communication was excellent, and everything was crystal clear from the very beginning. I personally recommend the 45-minute tour that includes the Statue of Liberty; the hotel pick-up and drop-off service is also a fantastic addition. Our pilot, Ryan, was incredible. You can truly tell he loves what he does. Since it was our first time in a helicopter, we weren't used to the sounds or movements, but Ryan explained everything in advance and made us feel incredibly comfortable. Thank you, Ryan, you rock! Best regards from Fernando and Anamaria
Thank you for your wonderful review! It was a pleasure flying with you.
It was an amazing experience. Thanks Mike from Scarsdale and pilot for unforgettable memories 🥰 Looking forward to the night flight next year 🤩
Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled to hear our team helped make it an unforgettable experience. Best wishes for the new year!
It was an incredible experience. Not only was the flight itself unforgettable, but the whole thing around it was great. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Even the pick-up / drop-off service tuned us into the experience. Thanks to everyone, we enjoyed it very much and would definitely recommend it.
Thank you very much for your feedback! It was a pleasure flying with you.
Views were pretty amazing but I wish it was longer cause it’s a bit of a trip from from starting point to manhattan. For 950 I would like to see more. My trip was the 30 minute one that excluded Statue of Liberty. You basically just fly around manhattan and come back. Spectacular views but not the greatest value for the money.
Unfortunately, helicopters have very high operating costs, so they need to be priced accordingly. We think $950 for a private 30-minute tour for 2 people is a pretty great deal, considering other options in the area.
Amazing experience, with lovely views and pilot. Only improvement would be the $3 sparkling wine which was advertised as champagne
The sparkling wine/champagne is a complimentary add-on. Unfortunately, the options available in the 187ml flight safe size are very limited. For safety reasons, we cannot use the full-size champagne bottles that the large name brands produce.
After an initial hiccup due to the grid locked New York traffic we were picked up from our hotel in midtown and driven to the airport. We had a brief safety talk and then taken out to the helicopter. We were taken on a very smooth 45 minute night flight over New York, our pilot was very knowledgeable and pointed out the different sights on the way, absolutely amazing views of the city. After the flight we were driven back to our hotel although the driver did offer to drop us anywhere we wanted. All in all a very professional and enjoyable experience.
I’m literally lost for words??? If you’re looking for a cheap quick helicopter 🚁 ride (most 12 minutes) please please book via Wings. I booked the 45 minute flight for my daughters 18th birthday and from being picked up via the most friendly driver Emile (couldn’t have wished for better travel as Emile was a so friendly talking us through the drive and areas and reassuring us re the flight! What an absolutely fantastic person he was!!!! Upon arriving at the airport we were introduced to our pilot James and again I’m literally lost for words with regards to how professional he was!! Upon taking off for the 45 minute flight James throughout was the complete pilot and honestly never thought I would experience a night flight like that??? Literally James is an absolute legend of a pilot and one of the nicest guys I’ve met!!!! Thank you James for making my daughter’s 18th birthday 🎂 the best day ever!!!! Wings you are the BEST OUT THERE AND THE REAL DEAL 🚁🚁🚁
