I looked into doors off but they wanted nearly $900... Think that was a special Photography flight with 4 passengers
Yeah it's pricey but in my opinion well worth it. Certainly something i wasn't going to pass up when i was in New York anyway.
Booked on a 30 min doors off flight for me and mrs.
thanks for recommendation. Looks like a good company.
mega stuff
Having looked online recently (they replied to my google review last month 3yrs after being there!) they appear to have moved to the south of Manhattan? When i was there i had to get a 45minute taxi to the west side to start the flight. When you're there you should get the option to discuss with your fellow passengers where you fly to. In our group we agreed pretty quickly that we wanted to go past the Statue of Liberty, round the south tip then up to Central Park. We did have to take a detour though as Trump was still in his hotel at this time and there was an exclusion zone round trump tower.
Seeing New York from this angle is a bit special though
Depending on when your time slot is they may alter it? When i flew in November they put our group back half an hour to 3.30pm so that we could take advantage of the golden hour which provided some superb light for photographs. Don't worry though if you don't have a fancy camera, go-pros and iphones seemed to be the norm with most passengers.
One tip is when you decide where you sit on the chopper. Our group was advised that sitting at the front had least turbulence so better if you're taking video, while at the back of the chopper (where i was) had the most turbulence. It did get a little hairy for me as at times i was trying to breath and a gust caught the back of my throat so struggled breathing at a couple of points!
Also they wont allow for hats when flying, not entirely sure why, but in my case the headset you have to wear flew off at one point and hit the lassie sat on the opposite side of the helicopter!!
