Q&A

Q: What should I wear for the helicopter tour? Is there a dress code?

A: There's no strict dress code for the helicopter tour, but I'd recommend wearing comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes since you'll be getting in and out of the helicopter. Layers are a good idea as it can get a bit chilly up there. Also, don't forget your sunglasses—the views are amazing!

Q: Are there age limits for the helicopter tour? Can kids go?

A: Yes, children can go on the helicopter tour, but they do need to be at least 2 years old. If under 18, they must be accompanied by an adult. It's a fantastic experience for kids, but keep in mind they might need to stay seated at all times during the flight.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad? Can we reschedule?

A: If the weather isn't suitable for flying, the tour will be canceled and you'll be given options to reschedule or get a refund. They keep safety as a top priority, so you can rest assured they make the right call. Just keep an eye on the forecast as your date approaches!

Just did the Big Apple Helicopter Tour, and wow!

I went on the Big Apple Helicopter Tour last weekend, and it was AMAZING! Soaring over Central Park and seeing the Empire State Building from above was a total knockout. The pilot gave us awesome insights about the landmarks. I think it was around $250 per person, and worth every penny. If you’re considering it as a gift, just do it! You'll make a memory for life!

Thinking of gifting the helicopter tour, but is it worth it?

I've been thinking about getting the helicopter tour for my dad’s birthday. He loves NYC and I want to make it special. Is it really as good as it sounds? Any tips on booking? I want to make sure it’s a hit!
