Q&A

Q: What’s the best time of day for the helicopter tour? Should I go for sunset?

A: Sunset is definitely a magical time! You get to see the city light up as you fly over, and the views are absolutely breathtaking. The colors in the sky are just stunning, especially toward the end of summer. If you're looking to impress someone, this is the way to go!

Q: Is there an age limit for kids? Can I bring my 6-year-old?

A: Yes, you can bring your 6-year-old! There’s no strict age limit, but kids do need to be at least 2 years old to get their own seat. Just make sure they’re comfortable with heights, as it can get a little loud with the chopper noise.

Q: What should I wear for the helicopter ride? Anything special?

A: Dress in layers! It can get chilly up there, especially if you go for the sunset or nighttime tour. Also, avoid loose clothing that could fly around. Comfortable shoes are a must since you’ll be walking to the chopper from the shuttle.

Considering the New York Helicopter Tour for my boyfriend's birthday!

I’m thinking of getting the helicopter tour for my boyfriend’s birthday next month. He’s always wanted to see the skyline from the air, and I heard the views of the Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building are insane! I’m leaning towards the sunset option. Anyone done this recently? What was the experience like?

Just booked the NYC Helicopter Tour – any tips?

Hey everyone! I just booked the helicopter tour for a weekend in October. Super excited! I chose the nighttime tour for those amazing city lights. Any tips on what to expect? What’s the shuttle service like from Linden?
