Most travelers rave about their helicopter flights, praising the friendly staff and spectacular views of Manhattan. Ali gets multiple shout-outs for being particularly welcoming, and the pilots consistently earn high marks for professionalism. The experience itself delivers what you'd hope for: stunning aerial perspectives of the city, with audio guides available in multiple languages during the flight. Many first-time helicopter passengers mention feeling safe and well-cared-for throughout their tour. However, there are some operational hiccups worth noting. A few guests reported issues with flight timing (being taken up earlier than their booked slot) and seat assignments, which matters significantly for a sightseeing experience where window views are everything. There were also mentions of non-functioning headsets and concerns about professionalism during check-in. While the majority of recent visitors had wonderful experiences, it seems the quality of service can be inconsistent, so managing expectations around logistics might be wise even though the actual flight experience tends to impress.
Amazing experience, the pilot and staff was really kind and respectful. Ali is a nice guy
