ohhhh my gosh… what an experience!! everything about it was amazing and simply breathtaking! the staff was super friendly and just fun to interact with. especially Melissa, Key and Naomi! we did the 30 minute doors off flight and let’s just say it was worth the upgrade (originally booked the cheapest option). Our pilot(s) were friendly and super professional! 10/10 would recommend

I recently experienced a breathtaking 40-minute helicopter tour with FlyNYON, and it was nothing short of amazing! The views of Manhattan were absolutely stunning; flying above iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and Central Park provided a perspective that left me in awe. The staff were professional and friendly, ensuring that every detail was taken care of, which made the experience even more enjoyable. They took the time to explain everything and made us feel at ease throughout the flight. If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure that showcases the beauty of New York City, I highly recommend FlyNYON. This tour is the ultimate way to see Manhattan from above!

Every childhood dream of mine in one! 😁 I strongly recommend the open door helicopter tour with all of my being. It is an unforgettable experience to see Manhattan from all the good angles, directly below you with your feet dangling out! FlyNYON are very well organized, efficient, and appeared to be very safety focused in all of their operations in the ground and in the air. Everyone - from the front desk to the harness guy to the shuttle driver to the helicopter pilot - was very friendly, respectful and fun. The pilot was very professional, a smooth flyer, and everything about it felt safe. The views were just stunning. The pictures don't really do it justice!

This is worth every penny. The doors off flight is just amazing. Everyone has a huge smile the whole time & it flies by. The pics you take are stunning & definitely not like anyone else’s. The staff run like a well oiled machine. They know what they are doing & it shows and makes your experience easy & enjoyable. Did the sunset flight (absolutely beautiful night) and will be back for the night flight.

My husband and I LOVED this experience! 100% recommended. Team was excellent, will be coming back! FYI-please be aware, they normally assign seats based on weight and the type of ticket you purchased! They have a shoe selfie warranty, you can either get a seat next to a door or on the other side that doesn’t have a door, BOTH seats are “Shoe Selfie” seats
