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.

Joe was an amazing pilot. He was very knowledgeable of the area and showed us an amazing time as first timers on a helicopter. He put at ease right away and made the trip very memorable.

The view was awesome BUTTTTTT you would think that your paying so much money to have a private ride with your partner. To our surprise we were stuffed into the helicopter with 6 other paying customers who I belive also thought they were going to have a private ride. Not only is it not private or comfortable but we were also rushed when we wanted to take a picture. I wanted pictures to have as memories and we were rushed by an employee. The whole experience was rushed. It was also very hot in the helicopter and it made for an uncomfortable experience NOT TO MENTION we had no foot space what so ever. Literally had a strangers foot and arm against me the whole time since we were all stuffed in a helicopter. Definitely not what I was expecting. Just want to give a heads up if your thinking of doing this with your partner you will be stuffed with many people!!! But the view was awesome.

We’re glad to hear you thought the views were awesome! We’re sorry the whole experience was not what you expected. Our tours are sold per seat on shared flights, and we contact passengers the day before to reconfirm this. Private tours are available for those passengers looking for this option. We fly the largest aircraft in the industry equipped with heating and cooling. We will pass along your feedback about the heat on your flight to our Operations Manager. We do allow passengers to take their own pictures from our Linden, NJ location, but we do run on a schedule so we can only allow a few moments before the flight.
