We've done a few city helicopter trips and were really looking forward to this one in New York. We arrived at the pre-agreed time; however, no one was there. Eventually someone arrived and said that as it was raining, all flights were cancelled (why did they not email or phone us to advise?). They re-booked us for the following day. The whole process is extremely impersonal and was a 'sausage machine'; simply pushing people through. No enthusiasm or flair/hospitality of any kind. Not even a cup of coffee. We find that we need to pay US$5 to use a locker, to store my wife's handbag, which is not permitted on the helicopter - there is probably some small print somewhere that tells you this. Flight was good - but they really managed to make an amazing experience dull and no different to queuing to use the WC at an airport. The same building was used for the other 2 helicopter operators; they all looked the same; seems to be the market stitched up - OR an opportunity for a new operator, who can provide some customer service

It's very nice to see New York on the sky, very beautiful and nice pictures. 15 minutes is quick so need to be also for take a picture.

Poor. Flight booked for 2.15pm. Doesn’t go then. Really late. No information given. Far to overcrowded. Don’t use them! Once they have your money they don’t care.
