See New York City’s amazing skyline lit up in a perspective normally reserved for private charters! This unique experience starts at Linden Municipal Airport, in Linden, NJ in one of Helicopter Flight Services’ 6-passenger Bell407 helicopters or 7-passenger high-visibility Airbus EC130T2 helicopters.

The journey begins by flying past Newark International Airport or Staten Island towards Manhattan. En route to the New York Harbor, views of the illuminated Statue of Liberty will awe before viewing the skyscrapers of the Financial District. Flying north along the Hudson River, guests will catch a glimpse of the Empire State Building, as well as Madison Square Garden, Hudson Yards, Chelsea, The West Village, SOHO and TRIBECA. 9/11 Memorial and One World are also in view.

Guests will fly the length of Central Park, glimpsing Yankee Stadium before turning around at the top of Manhattan! They will fly above the George Washington Bridge, one of the busiest bridges in the world.

An underwhelming experience to forget in 12 hours. Money hungry individuals and unprofessional approach to customers.

They tell you NO photos with your personal devices in front of the helicopter. Instead they take it with their camera to then sell it to you. After you’ve paid like $250 they want to milk more money from you. What an absolute pathetic joke of an institution.

You only get 15mins of Manhattan and other 10mins is to and from Linden Airport, NJ. Pilot just did a U-turn from George Washington Bridge didn’t even go around half of the Island. Additionally, the pilot prioritised one side of the aircraft for viewing the Statue of Liberty. Another passenger let the pilot know mid-air right in that moment, that they didn’t get to see the Statue of Liberty even for pictures. The Pilot didn’t care to take a proper spin around it which takes like 20 seconds to do so. Completely ignored the upset passengers concern. All was rushed just so they use less fuel but you still paid in full price. Thats the catch. It was so bad that I just had to resort to laughter to move on from it. I would give it 0 stars but this platform wouldn’t let me.

The only sweet thing I recall is they provided a free shuttle to and from Linden train station to Linden Airport. The driver was alive; full of welcoming and positive energy. Shout out to Jessica you will be remembered.

Spend your money wisely folks✌🏼

Really great experience from start to finish. Views are fantastic and definitely much better at night - tour was very well done. Bit of a faff getting there from NYC so get there much earlier than they suggest in case of train issues. But otherwise super accommodating team despite NJ Transit delays, which was greatly appreciated!

It was good but it was a little expensive. It is like one time going.The staff was helpful and friendly. If you want to watch the lights take it a little late like 9:30pm

Great trip. Helicopter ride was fantastic & shuttle too & from the station was perfect.
My only complaint would be you’re not allowed to take any photos of the helicopter before you get on it then you can take your cameras out & do what you like. This is because they take a pic of you with the helicopter & charge an absolute fortune for it.That’s a shame they let themselves down with that otherwise all good 😁

I have rarely seen anything more impressive than New York at night. We started from Jersey and it was perfect. Easy to get to by train. Transfer to the airport was also on time
And very friendly. It was a perfect experience. Staff on site. Pilot. Everyone was in a great mood!
Thank you 🙏🏾

There was an unusual incident on our flight. The flight was emergency landed midway.

When we surfaced the entire situation to the reception crew, they got defensive instead of offering refund.

We take helicopter rides once a decade, so they should have refunded the large investment I made in the experience instead of just offering free photos
