    They postponed my tour. I guess it was due to bad weather but it wasn’t raining or anything. I’ll update this once I actually do the tour.

    Not only was this our first time in a helicopter, it was my son's first time NYC, so this was a great experience for him, and a great way to see the NYC skyline, as well as Liberty Island, Governors Island and Ellis Island, not to mention New Jersey too. The helicopter centre is well organised, safe and friendly. We arrived early but the flight left on time, with many helicopters rotating on and off the helipad. So waiting times are kept to a minimum. The flight itself is short, 20 mins, but that said, long enough to see all of the key sites of NYC from the air. I flew with my son in a 6 seat helicopter, the other 4 seats were taken by other guests. Pilot was friendly and professional, but concentrated on flying while an automated playback narrated the views, which was fine. Would I book again? Probably not now I have done it, but I would recommend to anyone who has not been to NYC, or in a helicopter? Absolutely!

    The whole experience was wonderful, from waiting to board the helicopter, to the moment when it got airborne. Swooping over the city and seeing it all from such a different perspective. I found the whole experience very moving and quite emotional. I could have stayed up there for at least an hour!
