The flight itself was fantastic. Unfortunately, our booking was moved from 10 to 10:30, and ultimately we did not fly until 11. For that, we received the digital images worth $40 for free.

Terrible staff and way too busy have put us back 3 times in the period. Because of this almost missed our return flight.

Must must must do activity

The most incredible thing I’ve ever done in my life. The pilot was fantastic. Perfect knowledge and really personable with all of us. Really reassuring about potential turbulence and talked us through every action he did. 10/10. Couldn’t recommend this enough

Helicopter flight

Short flight, but seen New York from above. Recommended to do, would book a longer flight than 15 minutes. Before you know it, you'll be back.

a bit disappointing

There is no doubt that it is an amazing experience, the views are incredible. However, it is expensive for what it is, after you pay the extra tax on the day, it makes it pricey. We had 12 minutes maximum in the air, a bit disappointing.

New York in perspective

Particularly I love the perspective that gives the height, the city looked wonderful, I managed to understand more these islands so inhabited that they did not look like islands!!!
