Absolutely amazing experience and definitely worth doing the 45 minute tour down to see Lady Liberty. We had to chamge the night due to the weather, (unfortunately something that can't be controlled) but it was hassle free, and complimentary champagne was given. I did the evening flight, snd the views were spectacular, however if you want to see cental park etc you may be best doing it in the day, as nort much of it to see when it's pitch black. Overall, a breathtaking experience and highly recommended, and a great company to do it with. Staff really helpful and informative.

Absolutely top draw. The staff we very helpful. The polit, was brilliant, taking us up close to all main buildings in NYC, inculding turning the helicopter through 180 degrees, so all passengers could get photos. This trip is a must do activity if your on holiday in NYC
A beautiful little helicopter from which you can get a good view of the entire panorama.A good pilot (Josiah) as well as others who will help make your flight great.
Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! The team were so helpful and friendly, the tour itself was brilliant - such an amazing way to see the city! Huge thanks to Samantha in the office helping so much then Mike for his help on arrival and our amazing pilot Ryan! Definitely recommend!
The helicopter tour from Westchester was a memorable experience, with a noticeably longer flight time compared to the standard Manhattan departures. The route takes you around New York with wide, open views, and the 45-minute option is definitely the one to choose if you want the full effect. The flight feels smoother, less rushed, and you really get to enjoy the skyline from every angle. However, there is an important detail: Getting to Westchester from Manhattan is very expensive. Whether it’s a private transfer or a taxi, the cost is high, and it adds a significant amount to the total price of the tour. If you’re staying far from Westchester, the transportation expenses can easily make the whole experience much more expensive than expected. But if you’re already in the area — or you have a car — then the tour makes much more sense. In that case, the longer flight and quieter airport become real advantages. Compared to the short Manhattan flights, the Westchester tour gives you more air time and a more relaxed ride. From Manhattan departures you get less time in the air, but you do fly right over and around Central Park, which is a huge highlight on its own. Overall, the Westchester tour is great if location and logistics work for you. The flight itself is excellent and offers fantastic views — just be prepared for the extra cost and time if you’re coming from Manhattan. готовый, сбалансированный и красиво оформленный TripAdvisor-стиль отзыв с учётом всех твоих деталей: ⸻ Great Helicopter Experience — But Only Makes Sense If You’re Close to Westchester The helicopter tour from Westchester was a memorable experience, with a noticeably longer flight time compared to the standard Manhattan departures.

The flight itself was great — long, smooth, and with beautiful views of Manhattan from the air. Choosing the 45-minute option definitely feels better than the 30-minute one. However, there are two important things to know: • The helicopter doesn’t fly directly over Manhattan or Central Park, which was a bit disappointing. • The heliport is quite far from Manhattan, and getting there by taxi or transfer is expensive, so the overall trip becomes costly. If you’re staying close to that airport, it’s a solid experience and gives you memorable views. But if you’re traveling from Manhattan, consider the total cost and the fact that you won’t fly through Central Park.
It was my first time riding in a helicopter and that part was great. However, I thought we'd see more of the city vs just the skyline, East/Hudson rivers etc. A 30min tour is literally 15mins in and 15mins back.
The take off to me was the most memorable, followed by the spectacular view. I love it. My children enjoyed every moment. At first my girl friend was nervous but she settled down quickly. Great way to see NYC.
Being in a helicopter above such an iconic city was thrilling. I felt completely safe the whole time. Our guide and pilot answered all our questions, though he wasn't as knowledgeable about the area as I would have liked. We started early and returned early and I don't think we got a full 45 minutes, but it was close. I feel like the experience was way too expensive and I will never do it again, but for once in a lifetime, we decided to pay the price. I will just never tell anyone how much we spent. Other than the value per buck, I would give this excursion 5 stars.
We live in Westchester, and all I can say is if you are also living or based in Westchester, and looking for the easiest, smoothest and best helicopter experience of New York City, look no further. The facilities are fantastic, the staff are super friendly and helpful, and safety is their priority. We were extremely impressed, and it's awesome value compared with other companies too. 5 stars!
Was a very personalized experience with amazing views giving new visual perspective to a city I’ve known my whole life. The pilot and service agent were excellent. I always felt safe and my expectations were exceeded.
Riding in a helicopter should be on everyone’s bucket list, and you should do it with Wings Air. Not because I traveled with them, but because they are unparalleled in their ability to provide a top notch experience.
The breathtaking views and amazing panorama of the city are unmatched. Incredible and professional captain made it all possible.
This was the greatest! No delays. We took off and had the immediate full impact of being above everything. Really puts the sights into perspective. Up close and personal to the Statue of Liberty. Our pilot, Avital, was great and took very good care of us. Highly recommended.
The tour was amazing. We’ve started from a small airport, and after a short brief we started. This is my second helicopter tour over Manhattan, but it was so much better. We flew right over the Central Park, got close to the Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building. If you want the helicopter tour, you definitely should choose this one.
We (5 friends) booked a 30 minutes trip... BUT the heliport is 25 miles from Manhattan. So we had to book a transport to and from the Airport ... this add $200 to the bill plus Airport taxes $235 ... that brings the tour to $400 per pax. As the heliport is quite far from Manhattan we spend 2/3 of the fly to go to and from New York. So approx. 10 minutes above Manhattan. We didn't fly over lower Manhattan and Statue of Liberty neither Brooklyn Bridge ...
This tour was absolutely beautiful! We did at night time tour (7pm) so we could see the city at night. The views are amazing and a once in a life time experience. I proposed which made the event that much more special! The staff was professional and very accommodating. I highly recommend!
The pilot arrived late and we miss sunset view of Manhattan. It was dark, at night. Most of the ride wasn't over New York. The pilot was friendly but the tour was so poor because he was late and because of the limited time over Manhattan. We don't recommend this tour. Better take of at the city to get more over Manhattan. The pilot arriving late ruined our sunset view. I wasn't see the city, because of my window. I thought the pilot must turning over at some point to everyone has the best view, but he didn't. He just left the city as soon as he arrived at New York.
The entire trip was amazing and the pilot from start to finish was very informative and courteous. Once in a lifetime experience.
My wife and I had an amazing time flying with Wings Air Helicopters Charter. We departed from White Plains and journeyed towards Manhattan on what was one of the most amazing experiences. Seeing New York from that perspective, while flying with a first class pilot and serviced by an amazing team at Wings Air, made us feel so special on our anniversary. Thanks Wings Air for a first class experience.
The pilot was amazing, starting conversations with us and he was showing us the whole route as we were passing it
What an awesome way to see NYC! From start to finish what a most excellent adventure. Service, hospitality and the views are unparalleled! Would definitely do again! Should most be on everybody's must do list!!!
A ride to remember a lifetime, Anthony the pilot was very accommodating and acted as the tour guide as well.
Wonderfull, a fantastic trip in the dark skyline of Manhattan!!!!!! Hope to do it again as soon as possible. Amazing
I got this experience through a online gift service called Cloud 9 Living. We were a few minutes late, but I thank the staff for being able to accommodate us so quickly. From the 30min. ride around New York City, to getting the chance to ride myself, it was truly a ride to remember! I recommend this experience for couples, friends, or families! The instructors are super nice and definitely help in creating a safe, fun and comfortable environment for you to learn all you need to!
Recieved voucher as birthday present from my mother.Booked tour for early November ride hoping to see fall foliage. BEST pilot Ive ever had on helicopter tour. Treated everyone like royalty.He was also kind enought to take pictures of us outside of helicopter and from start to finish the entire experience was wonderful.Definately going back for the tour that allows us to be the pilot.
We would really recommend this provider. There were only two of us flying privately. Not only do you see the usual sights, but you fly over Bronx, Harlem, Brooklyn, New Jersey, Central Park, etc., as well as over the green "bacon belt" with the very well-kept houses, golf courses, hotels. The 45-minute flight is highly recommended and the approximately 1 hour drive from Manhattan to the meeting point can be accepted. The staff is very friendly, courteous and flexible. The handling is very individual, you feel like you are really a guest. The pilot told a lot and was also very friendly. Thanks to the team! Top performance! Albena and Karl-Heinz
Great time with magnificent views of New York at sunset! We flew over Manhattan and its buildings! Incredible sensations!
Excellent experience. Everything was very good and we were lucky with the weather. The pilot is very young but very professional and experienced.
Excellent experience, great pilot (Mario). Never experienced such a great helicopter flight. Uncomplicated organization.
It was just perfect, a great experience. Highly, highly recommended. I would love to do it again
That was an absolutely great experience. Everything went smoothly. The driver was very nice and accommodating. My granddaughter 18 years old and I 71 years old will not be able to forget that. Just fantastic. Everything was perfect. I can recommend this tour to anyone. Thanks again for this great experience.
