5.00It was an incredible experience. Not only was the flight itself unforgettable, but the whole thing around it was great. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Even the pick-up / drop-off service tuned us into the experience. Thanks to everyone, we enjoyed it very much and would definitely recommend it.
Great views but not a great value

4.00Views were pretty amazing but I wish it was longer cause it’s a bit of a trip from from starting point to manhattan. For 950 I would like to see more. My trip was the 30 minute one that excluded Statue of Liberty. You basically just fly around manhattan and come back. Spectacular views but not the greatest value for the money.
Great experience, would recommend

5.00After an initial hiccup due to the grid locked New York traffic we were picked up from our hotel in midtown and driven to the airport. We had a brief safety talk and then taken out to the helicopter. We were taken on a very smooth 45 minute night flight over New York, our pilot was very knowledgeable and pointed out the different sights on the way, absolutely amazing views of the city. After the flight we were driven back to our hotel although the driver did offer to drop us anywhere we wanted. All in all a very professional and enjoyable experience.

5.00I’m literally lost for words??? If you’re looking for a cheap quick helicopter 🚁 ride (most 12 minutes) please please book via Wings. I booked the 45 minute flight for my daughters 18th birthday and from being picked up via the most friendly driver Emile (couldn’t have wished for better travel as Emile was a so friendly talking us through the drive and areas and reassuring us re the flight! What an absolutely fantastic person he was!!!! Upon arriving at the airport we were introduced to our pilot James and again I’m literally lost for words with regards to how professional he was!! Upon taking off for the 45 minute flight James throughout was the complete pilot and honestly never thought I would experience a night flight like that??? Literally James is an absolute legend of a pilot and one of the nicest guys I’ve met!!!! Thank you James for making my daughter’s 18th birthday 🎂 the best day ever!!!! Wings you are the BEST OUT THERE AND THE REAL DEAL 🚁🚁🚁
