You get exactly what you’re hiring: a 12-15 min flight around (not over) Manhattan and Liberty Island…
The guys operating the business are friendly and look professional and reliable.
On the downside: they give you a location on the chopper according to your weight in order to keep the maximum weight balance on board. The problem is that there’s a relevant difference in the whole experience depending on the place you’re given. People on the right side or in the front seat get neater and closer views than those sitting on the left side (needless to say I got a left side seat).
As for the price, it’s a matter of demand and supply. 260 $/person x 6 people/trip x 20+ trips/day… I’m not much into chopper trip costs, but it looks like too much. But, as I said, every slot was booked when I made my reservation. Good business !
