Amazing experience
Gabriela_P
, Oct 2021
My 13 yr old daughter and I went to NYC and did the helicopter at night, the views were amazing and the pilot was so professional, friendly and informative! The staff to prepare you was so nice and easy to deal with! If coming in from NYC I would recommend spending the extra to take an Uber because the Linden train station was pretty rough at night.

Not really worth the cost. Not COVID friendly. Headsets were not sanitized as stated. Space too close for comfort inside cabin.

We apologize that you did not think the tour was worth the value. We fly the largest helicopters in the industry in the northeast. Between each flight we sanitize the interior of the aircraft thoroughly, including the headsets. You may not have seen our staff doing so, but all headsets are sanitized.

Absolutely the best experience ever! It's the only way we were able to see all the landmarks during our weekend trip. The tour guide was awesome and knew so much information! The pilot ensured everyone on board were able to view all the landmarks. Our 7:30 pm time slot was perfect to see the city's sunset and the night life start to come alive!

Not what I expected
Obdulio_T
, Aug 2021
The view was awesome BUTTTTTT you would think that your paying so much money to have a private ride with your partner. To our surprise we were stuffed into the helicopter with 6 other paying customers who I belive also thought they were going to have a private ride. Not only is it not private or comfortable but we were also rushed when we wanted to take a picture. I wanted pictures to have as memories and we were rushed by an employee. The whole experience was rushed. It was also very hot in the helicopter and it made for an uncomfortable experience NOT TO MENTION we had no foot space what so ever. Literally had a strangers foot and arm against me the whole time since we were all stuffed in a helicopter. Definitely not what I was expecting. Just want to give a heads up if your thinking of doing this with your partner you will be stuffed with many people!!! But the view was awesome.

We’re glad to hear you thought the views were awesome! We’re sorry the whole experience was not what you expected. Our tours are sold per seat on shared flights, and we contact passengers the day before to reconfirm this. Private tours are available for those passengers looking for this option. We fly the largest aircraft in the industry equipped with heating and cooling. We will pass along your feedback about the heat on your flight to our Operations Manager. We do allow passengers to take their own pictures from our Linden, NJ location, but we do run on a schedule so we can only allow a few moments before the flight.
