What an amazing way to see NYC!!
Absolutely fantastic views, however, it is not the Helicopter company that makes this trip so fantastic, its the city itself.
Upon arrival we were met by a lady. She ticked our names off the reservation list and told us to wait, which we did..for 15 mins, outside in the cold. Eventully we were subjected to a 'security check' which involved someone asking to look in your bag, i opened my bag and he peered in without moving anything and said i was clear! We were then told we could go inside, where we stood in line again, this time to pay my 'security tax' (??). It was $30 each, we had a party of 3 so we had our $90 ready, i gave it to the lady who then informed me i needed to pay $92 as we had to pay for a locker! This was non refundable and i do think it was a major money making scam.
Eventully it was time, the trip was absolutely fabulous.
I have been on a Libery Helicopter tour previously in Las Vegas, we were introduced to our pilot and had a chat during the flight etc.
This was not the case here, he pointed sights out along the way but spent the rest of his time talking to his friends through his headphones!!
I was fortunate enough to have a front seat, however, the poor couple behind me didnt even have a window! The rear left hand side did but the right was just a door, they had to take all their footage through the front, fancy that, a sightseeing helicopter with no window!!
We loved this tour, do go, but it was a conveyor belt and i did feel a bit ripped off.

I was very let down by the organisation of this experience. My flight was at 2pm. I got on my flight at 2.50pm having arrived at 1.30pm as requested. Also I was not body scanned before I went in the building. Considering how security conscious everyone in the US is!! I had an appointment at 3.30pm at the 9/11 memorial and I was late for that. I just felt it was a stressful experience. I cannot fail the actual flight. the pilot was very polite and informative. Just a great shame it was badly organised and stressful in the run up to my flight.

It was AMAZING! My hubby took me on it for my 30th birthday, and it was icing on the cake! It was impressive seeing the statue of liberty from the air. A wonderful memory!
