I had an appointment for 2 p.m. and I arrived. I was put on the flight very quickly. I was lucky to be with the pilot who flew very well and professionally. The explanations in flight were clear even with my low level of English. For the technical part, the Safety video was clear, the ground staff very rigorous for access to the helicopter. For the maintenance of the helicopter (being a pilot myself) you can go up with complete confidence the machines are well maintained. In conclusion I recommend
It was an amazing experience! NY is beautiful from the air, and the helicopter was very comfortable.

The view of New York from above was great and I enjoyed the flight itself. What I didn't like at all: I was sitting in the middle, so unfortunately I couldn't see out of the window as well as I had hoped and I couldn't take as many photos past the people sitting next to me. In my seat, the distance to the ceiling was also less than in the other seats, so I couldn't sit up straight without constantly bumping into the ceiling with my headphones. It was no problem to book at short notice and the ordering process was easy. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
I really recommend you invest your money to get a incredible helicopter ride. I'll never forget that day. Loved it❤️
Easy check in, amazing views...

What a great experience. Loved it 😊
Incredible views. Plenty of time. No queuing. Very nice staff especially Dwae Rene who helped us access our tickets and was most friendly and informative!
We liked being able to point out landmarks to our young granddaughters. I personally couldn't help thinking about the horror that preceded this "Phoenix" . We were wounded on 9/11, but the people of this country got back up proudly! This beautiful building is a testament and memorial to all who lost their lives.
The ability to split it into two days,
Everything was beautiful! The view was magnificent especially on a sunny day! Wow I really recommend it!
