Flight of a lifetime. - The best experience in my life! 45 minutes of stunning views, two circles around the Statue of Liberty (so we could see and make pictures from each helicopter side). I’d do this again and again.

Anniversary Night 45 minute Flight over New York - What an absolutely amazing experience from the moment we was picked up by our driver Emile who was professional courteous and also a good laugh along the way which helped settle the nerves Then arrival at the airfield we was welcomed and offered refreshments and given a brief safety video to watch Once completed the safety video we was transported to our helicopter and as it was our anniversary the added extra of flowers and champagne just gave that little more spark to our flight Our pilot (I'm rubbish with names but I'm sure it was Anthony but I maybe wrong) but however our pilot was amazing at easing nerves and was very informative and professional but also able to have some good jokes with on our journey If you are fortunate enough to experience this trip you won't be disappointed especially if you have great weather If I could give this experience a 10 on trip advisor I would as definitely worth more than a 5

Night flight over Manhattan - Tremendous. Like others, I chose this company based on the glowing reviews and were not at all disappointed with the result. Flight carried out as part of a marriage proposal, and preparation for the day of the flight, the entire team is very professional and caring. Christine, one of the people on this team, speaks French which was a great help, but the other people also have some knowledge or at least are very understanding. We took the driver option, and it was also very pleasant. Very clean vehicle, very friendly driver and possibility to arrange to pick you up at point A and drop you off at point B on the return. The flight is spectacular, even more so at night I think. The pilot takes the time to explain to you what we see and the camera is really great for taking photos or videos. Thanks again to the whole team, it was a wonderful moment for us and one we will not forget!

No regrets! Worth every penny. - Anthony was a wonderful pilot and tour guide that gave my husband and I the experience of a lifetime. He was knowledgeable, affable and extremely professional. Don’t return home from New York without experiencing this tour, because no one wants to go home and say I wish I did that. The previous day we did a 7 hour bus, walk and ferry tour of New York. However, we were shown a whole new perspective from the sky. Traveling to Westchester airport allowed us to see some of the outer suburban area. We saw country clubs, dams, stadiums and so much more that we hadn’t seen. Seeing the Statue of Liberty up so close was an amazing experience. Loved it.

Go home with no regrets! - “Don’t go home regretting that you didn’t experience things whilst you had the chance.” We took a 45 minute helicopter tour and it was absolutely fantastic. The views were spectacular and gave us a completely different perspective of the city we’d toured the previous day. We were in awe of just how expansive New York is. Our tour guide was friendly, attentive and had really good knowledge of all of the areas we covered and saw in the distances. Consider this one of the best presents you could give yourself, because the memories will last a lifetime.

45 minutes is a MUST. Expensive but worth every cent - Expensive, but the 45 minute tour is worth it. No matter what the weather. We were lucky, after we had already started and had to turn back due to bad weather. From the airport outside of NYC, it's about 1.5 hours. Around $30 by train there and back and then around $20 by taxi or Uber to the airport. You're alone on the plane, the pilot and service are very friendly. What's a shame is that the providers offer transfers from NYC or hotel to the airport and back, unfortunately disproportionately expensive! Around €350. Even an Uber is cheaper. Of course they have to make a profit, but we took an Uber back from the airport to Manhattan for $85. These tours in NYC that take 15 minutes are nothing compared to these tours. In NYC, you sit with 4 other people on the plane (maybe even in the middle seat!) and it's only a short flight for just under $250 per person. It's better to pay €1000 for both of you and enjoy 45 minutes and everything. Unique! You have to do this once in your life. I can definitely recommend it. Tip: at night, don't take photos, rather videos and then a screenshot afterwards.
