Great flight - a whole new perspective on Manhattan. Not cheap but well worth the money. We were lucky and got the two front seats - all based on weight distribution so don't think you have any choice.

Really well managed by friendly professional staff. We saw all we expected to and the pilot was knowledgeable at pointing sights out to see. He also gave background history to the landmarks.

We took our 11 year old granddaughter on this lovely helicopter trip. The views were unique and lovely. People were nice and everything was safe. The pilot, however, had to spend time talking to local controllers about air traffic. The trip would have been even better if he would have given more dialogue to the passengers on the sites and history.
