Q&A

Q: What's the weight limit for this helicopter tour?

A: The weight limit for each passenger is typically around 250 lbs. It's important to check this before booking, as they may have strict guidelines for safety. If you're close to the limit, I’d recommend calling ahead to confirm. Also, they often weight passengers at check-in, so be prepared for that!

Q: Can this be rescheduled if the weather is bad?

A: Yes, they do allow rescheduling due to bad weather. I recommend checking their policy on the website for specifics, but typically they’ll contact you if it’s unsafe to fly. Just keep an eye on the weather forecast for NYC before your flight!

Q: What should I wear for the helicopter tour?

A: Dress in layers! It can get chilly up there, especially if you're flying during the fall or winter. Comfortable shoes are a must too since you might be standing for a bit while boarding. Avoid loose jewelry that can get caught in the wind, and definitely wear sunglasses—trust me on that!

Thinking about gifting the Manhattan Helicopter Tour. Any thoughts?

I’m considering this helicopter tour in NYC for my fiancé’s birthday. He loves heights and I thought it’d be epic to see the skyline from above! I saw it lasts about 12-15 minutes and visits all the cool spots like the Statue of Liberty and Central Park. Has anyone done it? Any tips on the best time to go or what to expect?

Just did the Manhattan Helicopter Tour—what a rush!

I took the tour last week and it was AMAZING! The views of the Empire State Building and Central Park were breathtaking. We even got to fly over the Statue of Liberty, which was a highlight. The pilot was great and shared some cool info about the sights. Just a heads up, the noise can be pretty loud, so bring ear protection if you have sensitive ears!
