  A little expensive with the $40 that must be added on site and moreover it would take a maximum of 5 people and not 6 in the helicopter

• Nice experience, but on purpose unpunctual

  Well organized, friendly staff and a great way to get to know New York. There are 6 seats on board: one next to the pilot, behind it a row of 3 (i.e. a seat in the middle without sitting directly at the window) and a row of 2 behind it (without a middle seat). Luckily I sat at the window and saw everything great. In the middle, I think that's already more difficult and I would think it would be fair if the space cost less. What wasn't so nice was that you didn't stick to the booked time and on purpose. My husband and I had deliberately booked so that there was an hour in between (so that one could stay on the ground with the children). But my husband was only allowed to fly two hours after me and in between other people were preferred. Probably a group of 6 arrived spontaneously without reservation and because of course there was no longer a completely free time window for 6 people, the staff then apparently pushed bookings of other people back to offer the group a flight option together. My husband was not asked if he might be willing to fly later (which would have been at least polite). Only excuses have been invented as to why he now has to wait longer, but others are allowed to fly to his time slot. That was already very annoying, as we were traveling with 2 toddlers and they of course have no understanding of being bored there for 3 hours. This has messed up our schedule and I would have preferred to see more of NY instead. Those who do not book beforehand are out of luck and should not be treated preferentially!!!

• Unforgettable experience

  Was super organized and an unforgettable experience! We were there with 2 toddlers who we did not want to take on the helicopter. There is a small waiting area with toilet and there we could then sit alternately with the kids, eat our sandwiches and especially warm up in winter. The crew was very friendly, especially to the children. It was impressive and beautiful to see the city from a different perspective. You didn’t even notice that you were climbing or flying a curve. I had imagined it to be much shakier and somewhat like a fairground ride. Wasn't like that (almost disappointed me :-D). So you can do it if you're more sensitive. You could tell that the pilot has a lot of experience, as even the landing was very calm and controlled. Time flew by. It is really expensive, but a special experience and therefore worth its money. I would recommend it to anyone who comes to NY. Great!
