HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

We would really recommend this provider. There were only two of us flying privately. Not only do you see the usual sights, but you fly over Bronx, Harlem, Brooklyn, New Jersey, Central Park, etc., as well as over the green "bacon belt" with the very well-kept houses, golf courses, hotels. The 45-minute flight is highly recommended and the approximately 1 hour drive from Manhattan to the meeting point can be accepted. The staff is very friendly, courteous and flexible. The handling is very individual, you feel like you are really a guest. The pilot told a lot and was also very friendly. Thanks to the team! Top performance! Albena and Karl-Heinz

It was my first time riding in a helicopter and that part was great. However, I thought we'd see more of the city vs just the skyline, East/Hudson rivers etc. A 30min tour is literally 15mins in and 15mins back.
The customer service was great, the flight was smooth, and the pilot was knowledgeable. Overall it was excellent.

The take off to me was the most memorable, followed by the spectacular view. I love it. My children enjoyed every moment. At first my girl friend was nervous but she settled down quickly. Great way to see NYC.
Thrilling and Lovely

Being in a helicopter above such an iconic city was thrilling. I felt completely safe the whole time. Our guide and pilot answered all our questions, though he wasn't as knowledgeable about the area as I would have liked. We started early and returned early and I don't think we got a full 45 minutes, but it was close. I feel like the experience was way too expensive and I will never do it again, but for once in a lifetime, we decided to pay the price. I will just never tell anyone how much we spent. Other than the value per buck, I would give this excursion 5 stars.
Fantastic and memorable experience!

We live in Westchester, and all I can say is if you are also living or based in Westchester, and looking for the easiest, smoothest and best helicopter experience of New York City, look no further. The facilities are fantastic, the staff are super friendly and helpful, and safety is their priority. We were extremely impressed, and it's awesome value compared with other companies too. 5 stars!
Safe, fun and stunning

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.
