The trip itself was an excellent way to see the West Side and Liberty Island etc, and was well worth doing. On the downside, I was slightly disappointed not to get much of a chance to see the Battery Park/Lower Manhattan area or any of the East Side. I also appreciate the need to ensure that all flights are full at all times. However, putting 6 passengers 2 front, 4 back left me feeling a little crammed. I didn't necessarily feel that I could see everything going on around the helicopter as I was expecting.
