It was quite a hassel to do this ride. I arrived at the heliport at 11:00am, excited. The staff took my coupon and told me that I needed to come back at 4pm since the fine lines in the paper said I needed to reconfirm my ride. As a out-of-towner, it was a great hassel. It literately screwed up my plan as I only one day in NY. And because I am not familiar with the subway, eventually I wasted 2 hours on the subway just to get this ride. I was all frustrating by the time I got there. They should be more flexible for the people out of town! And it is too expensive for such a short ride (12min).
Well worth it. Only issue we has was they split us up as a couple for the flight.
The photo shows helicopter flying past liberty. it was not that close. Middle seat waste of time and money for viewing or photos.
