I would say the flight itself was very…WONDERFUL AND BREATHTAKING!!!

I would say the flight itself was very phenomenal and the pilot was super nice, she was very warm and welcoming. However, it was my birthday and I didn’t feel the welcome and just overall hospitality for that, like atleast do a little special thing for people’s birthday even if it’s a cardboard birthday hat or something. I see someone didn’t like their seat and they got a free ride again right after. So I know they are capable of doing more.

Hello,
We are very sorry to hear about the confusion and frustration surrounding your experience and transportation arrangements.
At times, temporary airspace holds and restrictions can change very quickly and unexpectedly due to FAA and NYC air traffic conditions, which may result in sudden operational updates. We completely understand how frustrating this situation must have been, especially while already in transit.
Please reach out to parkerday@nyonair.com for further assistance regarding your experience, and we would be happy to review the situation further with you.

Don't be scared, it's amazing!

I am terrified of heights and at first didn't want to fly but my fiance talked me into it. After we arrived staff was helpful from the start and professional. I felt stressed but safe when they put on my harness and explained all safety features. When we got to a helipad and lifted off the ground in the smoothest way possible I forgot about being stressed. It was amazing! It's ike riding ridiculously loud lift and the magical carpet at the same time. Views were amazing! It changed my mind about helicopters and I will definitely do something like that again!

Disappointing Customer Experience!

Very disappointing experience overall. The helicopter ride itself was great and the pilot was professional and kind, but unfortunately the customer experience before and after the flight completely ruined it for us.

The front desk staff was not welcoming or understanding, and both the online and in-person customer service felt cold and inconsistent. It honestly felt like different customers were treated differently, which was frustrating to experience firsthand.

Looking back now, I probably should have paid more attention to the negative reviews mentioning poor customer service because unfortunately that ended up matching our experience too.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed the flight itself and that your pilot provided a professional and positive experience. However, we are genuinely sorry to hear that the customer service interactions before and after your flight left you feeling disappointed.
Providing every guest with a welcoming, respectful, and consistent experience is extremely important to us, so it is concerning to hear that you felt otherwise during your visit. We also understand how frustrating it can feel when expectations are not met, especially during what should be a memorable experience.
Your comments regarding the front desk interactions and overall communication have been shared internally for further review with our team. Feedback like yours is taken seriously and helps us identify areas where we need to improve.
We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and regret that parts of your experience did not reflect the level of hospitality we aim to provide.
Thank you again for flying with us and for your honest feedback. We do want to be clear that even though you were running late, we did add another flight for you. We made sure to accommodate you and the other two in your party on your own flight, hence the fees charged.

Disappointing Wall view with open Legs Flight

For my brother it was a 5/5 experience, but for me it was disappointing to have my half side blocked with a wall even I purchased 2 times the same ticket including free legs and shoe photo. I couldn’t even stick my foot out but actually payed 250$ extra for an open view with putting out legs/feet.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us.
We are glad to hear that your brother enjoyed his experience, though we are very sorry to hear that your own seating experience did not meet expectations.
We understand your frustration, especially after purchasing the same ticket type and specifically looking forward to the open-view “legs out” experience and shoe photo opportunity. Seating placement and visibility can vary depending on aircraft configuration, weight distribution, and FAA safety requirements on the day of the flight, but we certainly understand how disappointing it must have felt to have part of your view obstructed after paying for that type of experience.
Your comments have been shared with our operations team for review, as we always want to ensure guests have the clearest possible understanding of seating expectations prior to departure.
We truly appreciate your feedback and thank you again for flying with us.

Overall great experience and fantastic…

Overall great experience and fantastic views! I'd happily do it again and can recommend the 30min option to have sufficient time to take it all in.
One star subtracted as
- location is quite remote and you need to plan for at least 1h plus buffer to get there from Times square
- in combination with 90mins on top for upfront wating and preparation even more time is consumed
- check-in and prep was professionell but efficient to the point it felt bossy and unpersonal

The experience was so good

The experience was so good, all the staff from the moment they entered the building and exited the helicopter was super incredible and helpful.

The flight experience was also great + all the staff and pilot train and guide you well on all the safety matters. Can't wait to go back again.

What a way to see NY

Amazing experience from start to finish! Everything was smooth and well organised, and they even managed to get my wife booked on at the last minute. What a way to see New York — the views were unbelievable.
My wife is normally a very nervous flyer, but she said the helicopter flight didn’t make her feel nervous at all, which says a lot. Our pilot, James, was excellent — very professional, informative, and had a great sense of humour that made the whole experience even better.
Would highly recommend this to anyone visiting New York!

We had the door off! It was a little cold 😂😂
