Constant Cancelation
They canceled two days in a row and wasted our time waiting for the flight even though they knew they won't be able to fly. The actual flight wasn't that fun either particularly because it didn't really fly over thr promised places and only showed a glimpse of them. Also book on the warmest and least windy weathers because the wind ruins the whole experience.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing feedback about your most recent experience with us. I do apologize for the weather, sadly this is not something we can control. I am glad we were able to facilitate your flight nonetheless. I also reviewed your flight route, it was the exact route we follow for all of our passengers. We hope to fly with you again in the future.

Une expérience client désastreuse du…
Une expérience client désastreuse du début à la fin
Nous avions réservé cette expérience avec énormément d’enthousiasme, mais notre expérience avec FlyNYON a été une succession de mauvaises surprises et de frais supplémentaires.
Notre premier vol était prévu lundi, en porte ouverte au coucher du soleil, soit l’un des créneaux les plus chers et que nous avions précisément choisi pour vivre cette expérience dans les meilleures conditions.
Le vol a finalement été annulé en raison de la présence de Donald Trump à New York. Nous avons donc accepté de reporter notre expérience.
Nous avons ensuite replacé notre vol au mercredi à 14h. Nous avons attendu jusqu’à 16h, pour finalement apprendre que le vol était annulé pour des raisons météorologiques.
Là encore, aucune possibilité de remboursement : uniquement un avoir valable 12 mois.
Le problème, c’est que nous ne venons évidemment pas à New York tous les ans. Nous étions en voyage avec des dates précises et nous n’avions aucune raison de pouvoir utiliser cet avoir dans les 12 mois. Une solution commerciale qui peut sembler pratique pour FlyNYON, mais qui est extrêmement contraignante pour le client.
Et comme si cela ne suffisait pas, aujourd’hui, pour notre troisième tentative, nous sommes arrivés à 16h pour un vol prévu à 17h.
Nous avons eu seulement 15 minutes de retard dans le processus d’enregistrement, et FlyNYON nous a demandé 125 $ supplémentaires PAR PERSONNE afin de garantir que nous puissions effectuer le vol. Et obligations de prendre un vol de 30min au lieu de 15 pour être assuré de faire un vol.
Soit 250 $ supplémentaires pour deux personnes, alors que nous étions déjà sur place une heure avant l’heure prévue du vol. Nous avions déjà payé 600$ pour 15min de vol on ce retrouve à payer au total 850$ pour 30min de vol.
Nous avons finalement payé, car après toutes ces annulations et tous ces déplacements, nous voulions simplement pouvoir profiter de l’expérience pour laquelle nous avions déjà payé.
L’accueil et la manière dont la situation a été gérée ont été particulièrement déplorables. Aucune compréhension, aucune véritable considération pour le client et surtout l’impression permanente que chaque problème est une occasion de demander de l’argent supplémentaire.
Nous avons donc vécu :
* une première réservation très chère annulée ;
* une deuxième réservation annulée après 5 heures d’attente ;
* aucun remboursement, uniquement un avoir de 12 mois ;
* puis 125 $ par personne supplémentaires pour seulement 15 minutes de retard, alors que nous étions arrivés à 16h pour un vol à 17h.
Une fois dans l’hélicoptère, celui ne démarre et tombe en panne… rien de plus stressant que de vivre cet événement.
Un second pilote est arrivé, et nous a tout de suite rassuré et pris en main dans un nouvel appareil merci à lui !
Le vol en hélicoptère est évidemment spectaculaire et la vue sur New York est magnifique. Mais une belle expérience ne doit pas faire oublier la manière dont les clients sont traités.
Nous avions payé pour une expérience exceptionnelle à New York. Nous avons surtout eu le sentiment d’être considérés comme une source de revenus supplémentaire à chaque étape.
Au vu du prix de l’activité et des sommes supplémentaires demandées, nous attendions beaucoup plus de professionnalisme, de transparence et de considération.
Une expérience que nous ne recommandons absolument pas.

We’re very sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to provide such detailed feedback.
While weather, airspace restrictions, and operational considerations can unfortunately impact helicopter operations, we understand how frustrating multiple disruptions can be, particularly while visiting New York for a limited amount of time.
We’re glad to hear that you ultimately enjoyed the flight itself and that our pilot was able to reassure you during the aircraft change. However, we take your concerns regarding the delays, communication, additional charges, and overall customer service experience seriously.
We would like to review the complete history of your reservation, including each rescheduling and the additional charges you mentioned. Could you please provide your FlyNYON order number so our management team can investigate the circumstances in detail?
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Unfortunately
Unfortunately, the experience at the reception was not very pleasant. The staff was somewhat rude. They did not want to replay the instructional video for us, and at one point, they threw my husband’s ID at him, which I found very disrespectful.
We also felt pressured to upgrade our package to 28 minutes. They rushed us to leave our belongings and did not even give us enough time to use the restroom comfortably.
Once we were in the helicopter, the audio quality was poor. We had difficulty understanding the pilot when he told us to take our legs out. Since at least four people on the helicopter spoke Spanish, understanding the instructions in English was challenging for several of us. I believe the instructions should be clearer and the audio system should be improved, especially for safety reasons.
Finally, we paid for a 28-minute flight, but we did not spend 28 minutes in the air. I timed it, and the actual flight was approximately 20 minutes.
Overall, I was disappointed with the experience. I expected better customer service, clearer communication, and to receive the full flight time that we paid for.
