New York Helicopter Tour: City Lights Skyline Experience

Overview

See New York City’s amazing skyline lit up in a perspective normally reserved for private charters! This unique experience starts at Linden Municipal Airport, in Linden, NJ in one of Helicopter Flight Services’ 6-passenger Bell407 helicopters or 7-passenger high-visibility Airbus EC130T2 helicopters.

The journey begins by flying past Newark International Airport or Staten Island towards Manhattan. En route to the New York Harbor, views of the illuminated Statue of Liberty will awe before viewing the skyscrapers of the Financial District. Flying north along the Hudson River, guests will catch a glimpse of the Empire State Building, as well as Madison Square Garden, Hudson Yards, Chelsea, The West Village, SOHO and TRIBECA. 9/11 Memorial and One World are also in view.

Guests will fly the length of Central Park, glimpsing Yankee Stadium before turning around at the top of Manhattan! They will fly above the George Washington Bridge, one of the busiest bridges in the world.

The most incredible experience!! Would 100% recommend. Our pilot David was very informative and checked in with us for the trip to ensure we are ok. All the buildings were identified and any questions answered!! For any travel sick people (I am normally 1) i was alot better than I thought and other than a bit of a shake the flight was perfect!! Free shuttle service from the train station was great, driver waited for us and took us back. All very clear to follow.

We did it when it was dark out, which was really good because the city was all lit up. The pilot was really friendly, as were the rest of the team at the airport.
