Head out earlier than instructed; heavy traffic is common, and a train will block your path near the end. Go around the train to the left to reach the destination on time.
It was an amazing experience. We had so much fun, and there were six of us. My friend even got the chance to propose, so everything went perfectly. We really enjoyed the night views over Manhattan. It was on October 19th. We were lucky with the weather since there was no strong wind, although a slight breeze made it a bit uncomfortable in the open helicopter cabin.

We are so happy to hear that your group of six had such an amazing time with us on October nineteenth. It is wonderful to know that our flight provided the perfect backdrop for your friend's marriage proposal, and we are glad you enjoyed the beautiful night views of the Manhattan skyline. We appreciate your feedback regarding the breeze in the open cabin and thank you for sharing this special memory.

An unforgettable family experience, with a few things to improve
We had a really unique and memorable experience with FlyNYON! My wife, our two kids, and I took the helicopter tour together, and overall, everyone loved it. The kids were especially excited!
I have to admit, the first 15 minutes were pretty scary, even though we knew we were safely strapped in. When the helicopter banks during turns, you really feel it! Add the wind, and it becomes quite an adrenaline rush. On the way back, we had already gotten used to the sensation and could relax and enjoy the views much more.
We were lucky with the weather, which was perfect. The staff were professional, the instructions were clear, and everything felt well organized. Another nice bonus was that there were only four of us in the helicopter, so we had plenty of space as a family.
A few things that could be improved:
First, our flight was originally booked for 5 PM, but it was moved to 4 PM without asking us or explaining why. That was frustrating because we had planned our day around the original time.
Getting to the departure location from Manhattan took over an hour each way. We had to leave Manhattan shortly after 2 PM, the actual 30-minute flight didn't start until around 5 PM, and we didn't get back to Manhattan until approximately 7 PM. So the entire experience took almost five hours for a 30-minute flight. That's something worth considering when planning your day.
Second, I wish there were some handles to hold onto during the flight, if that's technically possible. When the helicopter tilts during turns, it can feel quite intimidating, even when you're securely strapped in.
Finally, I expected we'd fly a little closer to the Statue of Liberty. We were relatively high above it, and personally, I actually enjoyed seeing the statue from the water more than from the helicopter.
Overall, though, this was a fantastic and unforgettable experience. The views were beautiful, the weather was great, and the entire family enjoyed it. Despite the initial nerves and a few logistical inconveniences, I'm glad we did it.
Definitely worth trying at least once, especially if you're looking for something different and memorable in New York!
