Response from FlyNYONAug 24, 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We understand that arriving 1 hour and 15 minutes before your flight can feel like a long wait. However, the required arrival time allows our team to complete check-in, passenger weigh-ins, safety briefings, harnessing, aircraft weight and balance, and boarding procedures before departure.
As an aviation operation, these procedures are necessary to ensure every flight is conducted safely and efficiently. We apologize if the process resulted in more waiting time than expected and appreciate your feedback.

A rip off I paid $1000 for a date night that was promised pastries from a local bakery and Champagne when I got there, I had to remind them and ask them about the champagne and pastries part of the date night package then they told me that they have to check if they even have any champagne there and I got a tiny box of four pieces of little Hershey chocolates not pastries

Response from FlyNYONAug 10, 2026
Hello,
We are sorry this happened to you. As we follow strict aviation time policy to ensure all of our flights depart on time, a late fee is enforced.
A minute past check-in time will result in a late fee as stated in our terms and conditions. "You must arrive to the NYON Terminal no later than 75 minutes prior to your departure time or your seat will be forfeited at the discretion of the FlyNYON Team. If FlyNYON is still able to place you on your flight, you will be subject to a $75 late fee per person."
We do apologize this happened to you but if there is anything else we can do in the future, let us know.

Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear that your trip to our facility was delayed.
Our travel reminder emails include detailed directions and guidance for navigating the train crossing near our location, as this can occasionally cause delays. In addition, we provide a 15-minute grace period to accommodate unexpected travel issues whenever possible.
Based on your arrival time, your group arrived approximately 30 minutes after your scheduled check-in. Because we were operating during a busy period, we had to enforce our late arrival policy to ensure flights remained on schedule for all guests throughout the day.
We understand this was frustrating, especially after calling us while you were on the way, and we appreciate your feedback. We continuously review guest experiences to see where we can improve our communication and operations.
If there is anything further we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to let us know.

Disappointed
Una experiencia absolutamente desastrosa. Si pudiera darle cero estrellas, lo haría.
Reservé este vuelo porque quería vivir una experiencia especial durante mi viaje a Nueva York y porque era el regalo de cumpleaños de mi novio. En cambio, terminé sintiéndome frustrada, engañada, robada y completamente decepcionada.
Para empezar, mi vuelo original fue cancelado por la empresa debido a la logística relacionada con el Mundial. Lo más indignante es que no ofrecen reembolsos cuando la cancelación es responsabilidad de ellos. Además, nos tuvieron esperando casi una hora antes de cancelarlo, haciéndonos perder dinero en transporte, ya que, por ser hora pico, pagamos más de 60 dólares por trayecto. Si sabían que ese día existían restricciones para volar por motivos de seguridad, ¿por qué siguieron vendiendo vuelos para esa fecha? Yo tuve la suerte de quedarme varios días más en Nueva York y pude reprogramarlo del domingo al jueves. Sin embargo, muchas personas perdieron su dinero porque al día siguiente regresaban a sus países y no tenían la posibilidad de cambiar la fecha. Eso es completamente inaceptable.
Mi vuelo era a las 8:00 p. m. porque quería ver el atardecer desde el helicóptero. Ese fue el horario que elegí y por el que pagué. La empresa solicita llegar 1 hora y 15 minutos antes, y yo llegué dentro del tiempo establecido. Sin embargo, me dijeron que, como no había hecho el check-in inmediatamente al llegar, ya no había cupo para el vuelo que había pagado. Lo más absurdo es que, cuando reprogramaron mi vuelo, ellos mismos me habían dicho que ya no era necesario volver a hacer ese proceso. Tuve que pelear para que respetaran el horario que yo había comprado, pero ni siquiera así respetaron mi reserva y terminaron pasándome al vuelo de las 8:30 p. m., haciéndome perder por completo el atardecer, exactamente aquello por lo que había pagado.
También pagué un costo adicional por la "Shoe Selfie Guarantee", porque este vuelo era el regalo de cumpleaños de mi novio. Incluso había comprado unos zapatos nuevos especialmente para esa foto. Sin embargo, fue imposible hacerla. Lo sentaron en un puesto con ventana, donde no era posible sacar los pies. Y, para empeorar la situación, el helicóptero, que normalmente acomoda a cuatro pasajeros, ese día llevaba cinco. Eso hizo que yo quedara completamente en el extremo, recibiendo directamente el fuerte viento en el rostro, hasta el punto de dificultarme respirar y mantener los ojos abiertos. Varias veces tuve que inclinarme hacia donde estaba mi novio para protegerme del viento.
Esa misma posición hizo completamente imposible tomar la "Shoe Selfie". La única forma en que podía mantener el equilibrio era dejando los pies firmemente apoyados en el piso. Levantarlos para tomar la foto no era una opción, porque no tenía espacio para inclinar mi cuerpo hacia atrás sin perder la estabilidad. Estaba tan apretada entre los demás pasajeros que prácticamente no podía moverme. Las mismas condiciones en las que ellos me ubicaron hicieron imposible obtener la fotografía por la que pagué un valor adicional.
Después de pagar casi 1.000 dólares por toda la experiencia, de los cuales casi 300 dólares correspondían únicamente a la "Shoe Selfie Guarantee", terminé sin el atardecer que había reservado, sin la foto "garantizada" que me vendieron, con una cancelación por problemas de logística de la empresa, una pelea para que respetaran el horario que había comprado y una experiencia muchísimo más incómoda de lo que prometen.
No solo me sentí engañada. Me sentí robada y estafada. Pagué cerca de 1.000 dólares por una experiencia premium que no cumplió con lo que prometía. Lo que más molesta no es únicamente que las cosas salieran mal, sino la forma en que manejan a sus clientes: cancelan por problemas propios, no ofrecen reembolsos, venden experiencias que no pueden garantizar y, cuando uno reclama por algo que pagó, la solución nunca es respetar lo contratado.
Jamás recomendaría esta compañía. En Nueva York hay muchas otras opciones para hacer un vuelo en helicóptero. Ojalá elijan una empresa que realmente cumpla lo que promete y respete el dinero y el tiempo de sus clientes.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are genuinely sorry that your experience did not meet the expectations you had for such a special occasion, especially as this flight was intended to celebrate your boyfriend's birthday.
We understand how disappointing it was to have your original flight canceled. The airspace restrictions surrounding the FIFA World Cup were implemented by the FAA and air traffic authorities, resulting in circumstances that were beyond our control.
Our goal is always to operate guests on their reserved flights whenever possible, and we're sorry that this did not happen as expected.
That said, we understand your disappointment that you were unable to capture the image you had envisioned.
We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify areas where we can improve our communication and guest experience.

The whole experience got ruined
The whole experience got ruined. We were waiting for the pilot to tell us when we can put our legs out and take pictures and videos like the other people did and posted on Instagram, but the pilot never told us to do it. I was very disappointed towards the end.
Response from FlyNYONJul 22, 2026
We are truly sorry your experience didn't meet expectations. We appreciate you sharing this feedback, and we are reviewing our procedures to ensure clear communication during flights. During the safety video's, it is mentioned that the passengers can stick out their feet at anytime unless takeoff and landing. Also, a customer service representative verbally addresses this after the video along with the pilot addressing this directive. If this was not clear, we apologize.

We are truly sorry to hear about your recent experience and the issues you encountered with our front desk and flight arrangements. We understand how frustrating it must have been to feel rushed and unheard, especially with your travel plans. We are looking into this matter to ensure such situations are avoided in the future.
