The price is not accurate. They charge you extra 45 dollars before taking off. Nice view, no waiting, tho was supervised they didn’t put the extra charge somewhere noticeable.

Hello: The $40.00 per person heliport fees are listed online and on your voucher . They were not included when you purchased your ticket and you only paid for the tour. The $5.00 dollars are for the Lockers that you used to store your bag. Please let us kn ow if you have any questions.

When we came to reception, it was little raining and foggy. Lady behind the reception told us, that it is not a problem to fly on a different day. Without any penalty. So we flew next day. Perfect - Liberty Helicopters service. There are two rows in the helicopter. First row is pilot + 2 guests, second row are four guests. You cannot choose where you want to sit, it is all on assistant from the helicopter. Important is the weight of each guest. The flight starts at south Manhattan - Pier 6 (5 minutes walk from subway station South Ferry/Whitehall Street - trains 1, R, W), where the East River ends and 80 % of the flight is above Hudson river. You can se Manhattan very well. I recommend time after 1 PM, because sun is behind you.... I think, that view from Rockefeller centre and from helicopter is a very nice option, how to spend time in NY. John from Prague

The gang at Liberty couldn't have been more friendly and comforting both pre-flight and during the flight. Helicopter was clean and pilot was professional and calming. Thanks Liberty!
