Our scheduled flight was at 4pm. We arrived at 3:20pm and were still charged a late fee of $150. They tried to compensate with some additional flying time but our flight took off only at 4:40pm even though scheduled for 4pm. If the organizers can’t keep time why are they charging us exorbitant fees for coming 5 mins late ? The actual flight and sights were good but the customer experience was bad as we were made to wait and overcharged for 5 min delay on our part. Hence I would not recommend this tour.

It was amazing. From arriving to leaving we felt welcomed and informed.The pilot gave us snipets of information throughout the duration of the flight.We were up in the air for over 20 minutes and went around The statue of liberty. It exceeded my expectations. A must if you go to New York. Would highly recommend this company.
