We booked a 25 minute tour, the most expensive. There was an option for 15 minutes, 19 and 25 minutes. I decided it was better to see more. In fact, 17 minutes passed from takeoff to landing. There were 6 people in the cabin and we all sat very, very tightly. I thought that our flight would be over the city, but in fact it turned out to be over the river: one way and back. Therefore, Manhattan and the skyscrapers were relatively far away. Just like the Statue of Liberty, we were a looooong distance away from the statue, as opposed to other helicopters that flew much closer to the objects of interest.
When, upon returning, I asked the receptionist why we had flown for only 17 minutes, she answered irritably: we have everything written down, while you left here and now came in, 25 minutes have passed. To the question: 25 minutes including all procedures or 25 minutes of flight? She replied: that everything is correct with us, we do not accept any complaints and turned away in the other direction.
I will say frankly that I was very disappointed. My expectations were much higher than what I saw.
