Well worth the money but pick a nice day - We loved this 12 min flight up the Hudson as they can’t fly over the City but you don’t miss out. Recommend sitting in the front or directly behind the front passenger so you get an unrestricted view. I was stuck in the middle at the back and felt kinda cheated, but my daughter was behind the pilot which was a better seat and she thought it was amazing. We couldn’t have had a better day for visibility. Do not buy from any of the street vendors, we went straight to Liberty themselves and negotiated an online cheaper deal.

A Buzz! - Entertaining flying tour of NYC. Pilot was competent and informative. Ground assistance was particularly helpful. A lot of money for half an hour’s entertainment but my brother, who is a pilot, has told me that helicopters cost a ridiculous amount of money to run.
The one drawback is if you’re on the port side you’ll have to lean across those on starboard to photograph the best sites (Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building etc). I thought this could be solved by simply doing u-turn and flying back the way we came. My brother again reliably informed me such a plan would never be approved as you’d risk crashing into other tour helicopters.
Glad they gave me a chance to online tip as the lady who got us prepped certainly deserved a gratuity (I just never carry cash these days).
Summing up - Good but expensive and try to get on starboard for the best shots.

Bad they took people money they don’t refund or give any credit. - They don’t refund the money if something happend , money people was work hard I didn’t expect all the money back but you take all and you don’t give any credit maybe the person can’t come do it every time hi ready when this thing took your money they just don’t care about your feelings if you not sure you going do it don’t spend your money they going take it you going lost 🤬

Very disappointed - This was going to be the highlight of our trip . Flying over Manhattan at night . Turned out it was 7 people crammed into the helicopter for 14 minutes including takeoff and landing . As soon as we got there we couldn't wait to get away as we felt like an inconvenience to the staff the whole time. The pilot didn't even say a word the whole journey and we felt as if he didn't want to be there . We took off from Kearney , New Jersey and barely made Manhattan and we were turning around. We got crap photos and memories we would rather forget . Overpriced and not worth it . Hang onto your money and don't buy into the hype
