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.

I was nervous but it was awesome experience and very comfortable. The pilot was great and provided details of what we would be flying over to get good video and pictures. Highly recommend this to see the city and lights.

We are from Texas, I reserved a flight with HeliNY for my twin's and i's birthday trip. They pushed our reservation back 2 hours later, "for who knows what!". We didn't like how we weren't sitting together. I was sitting the front with the pilot while she was sitting behind me. The experience could've been better if we were together to take pictures and communicate with. In addition, I thought we were having open door service, their (HeliNY) lack of communication of expectations of the flight experience has definitely disappointed my experience as an Texas visitor. Be mindful about this booking!

Our detailed notes in your reservation state that your flight was originally scheduled for 5 pm, and we asked if you could move your flight to a 5:30 pm arrival and 6 pm flight. You agreed to changing your flight time, but on the day of your flight you were running late and arrived at 6:34 pm. We were able to accommodate you and flew you at 7 pm. Seating in the helicopter is determined by the weights of all passengers as we need to safely balance the aircraft. There is one seat up front next to the pilot, which is often preferred. We do accept seating requests, and if a couple requests not to be separated for their flight, our staff will do their best to accommodate the request if the weights allow. We’re sorry you were disappointed the flight operated with the doors closed. We do not offer or advertise any doors off flights. We contact all passengers the day before to confirm their reservation and advise the flight operates with the doors closed.
