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 😂😂

A nice experience

A nice experience, but I reserved a seat with my feet out since January and when I arrived I was given the seat behind the pilot (that seat allows you to go out with your feet out 20%). It doesn't seem fair to me to pay the money requested and not get what you paid for. I could very well have bought tickets for a helicopter with the doors closed and had the same experience for much less money.

Disappointing

I have paid a ticket to be able to take my feet out and they have put me in the middle of two huge people, I have not enjoyed
They also made me pay a surcharge of $75 each for being late when I had warned that I was late and the train was in the middle without being able to cross

isappointing Experience and Poor Customer Service

We booked the flight specifically to experience the sunset, but at the scheduled time the company was unable to get permission for takeoff, and we were forced to switch to a night flight instead. Even though the night flight is more expensive, we had intentionally chosen the sunset experience, and the company did not offer any compromise or compensation, such as a discount or additional flight time. Because of the way the situation was handled, I would never recommend this company to friends or family.

Great - but shoe selfie guarantee con

All staff were amazing and friendly. We were so paranoid about getting there late we were super early and they got us on an earlier flight. The process, kitting up and stuff was all really good. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars was I paid for the shoe selfie seats (so not a cheap trip out). I got given a seat that was supposed to be a 45 degree shoe selfie rather than 90 degrees. Don’t accept it, you’ve paid for nothing. It’s a terrible seat and you won’t get the experience. I argued at the helicopter (they don’t set the seating the office does). Luckily they swapped me, weird as weighed same as the person I swapped with and they hadn’t paid the extra. So basically paying isn’t a ‘guarantee’. Felt conned by that but worked out in the end. Flight and views are amazing and to be honest with the wind as you’re flying it’s quite hard to stick your legs out anyway!!!

Incredibly kind staff

Incredibly kind staff, we felt secure because of the safety demostration that was a really important part since we chose the doors-off. Our pilot was a pro!
Really recommend!!
