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.

Flight was cool but was not told that you were going to jam 6 people in a helicopter that can fit 4 comfortably... To my knowledge I thought I was booking a helicopter ride for my fiancé and I only! We Went from thinking it was going to be romantic ride with just the two of us to you guys jamming 6 of us in there like sardines! I was very specific about getting to see the sunset but we didn’t get off the ground till 5:30pm which was to late... So like I said the flight was cool but overall experience was misleading and disappointing!

Hi Christopher, We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with parts of the experience. We booked your flight as close to sunset as we had available on the day so it was after the sun had gone down but there would still be some colors in the sky at the beginning of your flight. Our tours are currently flown with 6 passengers, we send as a message to all customers in advance to make sure they know what to expect. I'm so sorry that you didn't receive this message prior to your experience. I'm glad you still enjoyed the actual flight and we will work on improving our communication to ensure all our passengers know what to expect before arriving.
