It was an amazing experience and the sights at night were beautiful. I could not hear the pilot but it didn’t matter I was too in awe of the fact I was flying in a helicopter over NYC!

What a great tour! Amazing/breathtaking views, the pilot seemed like he enjoyed his job and had wonderful piloting skills. It was a smooth ride from take off to landing. The New Jersey location was very accessible, easy to get to and had a spacious parking.

The night flight was a 60th birthday present and I was so looking forward to it. Communications prior were really good including pick up from Linden . My train was around 3 minutes late but no one there to pick me up. The phone number provided wouldn’t work from my uk phone so I tried emailing and messaging . Eventually the pickup arrived saying she’d been round three times looking for me ?? She was lovely though and very chatty and helpful. Arriving at the take off site the check in process was straight forward. I have a name , it’s in the bookings , use it please ! Don’t rename me ‘single guy’ as seemed to happen. I was told I was next after family of four then I got added in with family of 4 and we all went out then we all were told to go back inside to be told the flight was over weight and needed to burn 25lbs of fuel ! When they’d done that we went out to the heli again. After photographs I was told to sit behind the pilot , splitting up the family of four. I’m 6’3” and was bent double trying to see out. Pretty sure I’d have been better suited in the front ? Taking off from Linden takes up a lot of the half hour flight time. The biggest issue I have is that we simply flew up the Hudson side of the city to central part , turned around and flew back with a slight detour past the Statue of Liberty but didn’t even circle it like the day time flights seem to do. I can’t help walking away feeling a bit hard done to and not getting value for money Very disappointed

Unfortunately for us this was a disappointing experience. The weather was forecast bad for that day and we were not given an option to reschedule. We cannot fault the check-in abd safely proces from the staff. However the pilot's narrative was not engaging throughout the flight. Perhaps the most disappointing was the shuttle bus service which did not pick up on time after the flight and we were left to figure it out and call an uber.There seems to be no communication between the checkin desk and the bus drivers! For anyone thinking of this activity, be weather aware and perhaps book an uber!
