Aft-facing club seat in Bell 407 has insufficient headroom for a 6'4" person like myself. The tour seemed a bit short, but attention to safety was absolutely first rate.

Take the tour for the sunset. As I was single traveller, the company privileged me to sit in front next to the pilot with the best view ever. It was amazing to fly next to the skyscrapers when the sun was going down and the lights in the buildings were switched on. Almost surreal beauty.

A fantastic flight round Liberty Island, followed by a trip along the Hudson river looking over the Manhattan skyline. The short safety brief was followed by a walk to the aircraft with phots taken by the operator and available to buy afterwards. Maximum of six people in the aircraft with 5 seated in the rear and one up front beside the pilot. All too brief but worth every penny of the cost and a real highlight of the trip to NYC!
