What you should do! - Riding in a helicopter should be on everyone’s bucket list, and you should do it with Wings Air. Not because I traveled with them, but because they are unparalleled in their ability to provide a top notch experience.

Best Helicopter ever - This was the greatest! No delays. We took off and had the immediate full impact of being above everything. Really puts the sights into perspective. Up close and personal to the Statue of Liberty. Our pilot, Avital, was great and took very good care of us. Highly recommended.

Incredible tour, totally worth the price. - The tour was amazing. We’ve started from a small airport, and after a short brief we started. This is my second helicopter tour over Manhattan, but it was so much better. We flew right over the Central Park, got close to the Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building. If you want the helicopter tour, you definitely should choose this one.

NYC from above! - This tour was absolutely beautiful! We did at night time tour (7pm) so we could see the city at night. The views are amazing and a once in a life time experience. I proposed which made the event that much more special! The staff was professional and very accommodating. I highly recommend!

Incredible - My wife and I had an amazing time flying with Wings Air Helicopters Charter. We departed from White Plains and journeyed towards Manhattan on what was one of the most amazing experiences. Seeing New York from that perspective, while flying with a first class pilot and serviced by an amazing team at Wings Air, made us feel so special on our anniversary. Thanks Wings Air for a first class experience.

A little bit desapointed ... no fly over lower Manhattan and Statue of Liberty - We (5 friends) booked a 30 minutes trip... BUT the heliport is 25 miles from Manhattan. So we had to book a transport to and from the Airport ... this add $200 to the bill plus Airport taxes $235 ... that brings the tour to $400 per pax. As the heliport is quite far from Manhattan we spend 2/3 of the fly to go to and from New York. So approx. 10 minutes above Manhattan. We didn't fly over lower Manhattan and Statue of Liberty neither Brooklyn Bridge ...

So disappointed - The pilot arrived late and we miss sunset view of Manhattan. It was dark, at night. Most of the ride wasn't over New York. The pilot was friendly but the tour was so poor because he was late and because of the limited time over Manhattan. We don't recommend this tour. Better take of at the city to get more over Manhattan. The pilot arriving late ruined our sunset view. I wasn't see the city, because of my window. I thought the pilot must turning over at some point to everyone has the best view, but he didn't. He just left the city as soon as he arrived at New York.
