Make sure you wear glasses as it helps with the wind and sun. I did shoe selfies despite being in the part of the helicopter that didn't have as much mobility. Lucas was our pilot.

Absolutely horrible terms and conditions!! BEWARE!!!! Five…read moreminutes after I booked this, they called me to say that their minimum number of people for a flight is three people, and I only had booked two, so they were canceling the flight. Nowhere on their site does it say that they have a three-person minimum. When they canceled it because they could not meet their profit margin, they said they would not refund me either, and they would only give me a certificate to do this in the next 12 months. I told them this was ridiculous. They should refund me because they're the ones canceling the flight, but they absolutely refused. Do not go with this helicopter company at all.

Are they cheap? No. Will they save your ass when you're stuck at JFK for 12 hours? Yup. Thank you…read morefor truly making our dreams come true with less than an hour of notice. Apologies as this has been sitting as a draft review from June 2022. My dad bought us once in a lifetime seats for the Warriors v Celtics finals as a bucket list trip, but we were stuck at JFK all day due to security ground stops in Boston. We flew in the night before, but after 8 hours of flight delays and 2+ hours back and forth on the tarmac, we needed to find a way to Boston in spite of all rental cars and train seats being sold out. We were desperate! I called around and no charter could get us to Boston. We are by no means ballers, but I fly small planes as a hobby, so I called a dozen FBOs and Wings Air was the only answer to our prayers. They managed to get us to a nearby regional airport with only one hour notice, and arranged a car to bring us to TD Arena in time to watch most of the game where we wound up winning. Thank you so much for coming through when no one else could. This is a memory we will cherish forever.

The morning of our reservation, they cancelled our flight…read more While other flight times were offered later that evening, sadly none of them worked. Things happen, they had a more important flight to take care of, which is understandable...but the followup service with this company offers more spin than a rotor blade. Management only offered a 3 week window to rebook our flight, heading into the holidays. When asked to provide a longer window to rebook my time, they just provided more information on why I should have been prepared for this to happen, like it was my fault. I would keep your expectations grounded with Wings. EDIT - Manager's desperate reply with erroneous details below should tell you all you need to know. Our flight voucher was valid and they accepted it...until they didn't. Beware.

Ok so wifey, stepson and I flew on a helicopter about 10 years ago. This was during the day (we had…read moreenjoyed it). This time...for my birthday...I wanted to do this at night over NYC. Did they wanna go with me for this one??? Nooooo lol. I wanted to make sure I was over NYC at night to see the beauty of the city lights. So we had to drive to Liberty Helicopter's Kearny NJ heliport for the $200 City Lights Tour. This tour was WELL WORTH IT! My wife was on the ground watching me lift off haha. The tour lasted about 15-20 minutes and I sat upfront with the pilot. This was such a smooth and breath-taking experience. The staff was awesome..especially "Q" who made us all feel relaxed before the big event with his information about visitors' perspectives from around the world and had explained how much of a "family" atmosphere this Kearny heliport is as compared to the NY heliport. I would definitely take this tour again!!

I bought a Living Social deal for a 15 min helicopter tour that came with a picture. They told us…read moreto get there half hour before our tour time. Once we got there we had to show them our IDs and watch a safety video. Then they took in a line to the chopper, before you board they take your picture which you can purchase later. The ride was amazing, the views were beautiful and you get to see a lot in 15 minutes. You start by seeing the Statue of Liberty as you head through downtown then the garden as you head to midtown. You get to see a lot and as a New Yorker I knew where to look and what I was looking at but I felt bad for the other people there since they were tourist and the pilot didn't really say much or explain the sites. Overall it was a great experience.

Great flight school! I trained and flew with NYC Air Service and received my private pilots…read morecertificate in less than a year. Now I'm currently training for my instrument rating with NYC Air Service and I highly recommend them for flight training or scenic trips around the Manhattan skyline. Their instructors are great and provide a unique training atmosphere. They are always available to answer any questions you may have. Their fleet of aircraft are maintained very well, always clean and some of the best to learn on.

We arrived late which was our doing since we left a little later than expected. When we got to the front desk, my grandfather backed out sadly, and did not want to go. The employee Georgie there was super sweet and nice, but the owner I'm guessing, Vincent, he had no understanding whatsoever. He was an older gentleman, and when I told him about trying to reschedule or something because of my grandfather he just smirked and told me they can't do anything, and I could come alone if I'd like. Out of human decency, I decided not to fly by myself, and comfort my grandpa which Georgie was kind enough to help me with. To Vincent, it is not about the money, it's about the morals you have as a person. I don't care about your policy, I've had many companies with strict policies help in serious circumstances. You are just a money hungry snob, by how you perceived yourself.

Throw in their tactics of "save this much if you book today" -but conveniently every day is a sale. Despite what you choose after your safety video-they hassle you to get the more expensive package. Don't bother. The only real choice to be made is either doors on or off. Their extra couple minutes flying-not worth it. Trust me, we've done both options absolutely NO DIFFERENCE. From the minute we walked in-we are asked why we didn't chose the more expensive package. Guy in front says "if it's money, we'll work with you on the price"...apparently the next pushy person we dealt with didn't get that memo because despite the number of people in our group-they didn't "work" with us on anything. They were quoting the same price differences we saw online. Thanks my guy for insulting my intelligence. Oh and despite unclicking the checkmark on their website to avoid solicitation emails-they will still email you everyday for the "sales". Because every day IS a "sale" because they want you to believe what an amazing deal they're offering you! Yeah, sure! Oh and read up on this company.

An experience I will remember for the rest of my life. Wow…read more We selected the premium tour with Victor as our pilot. Victor was very professional and made sure to make the experience the best it could be. He asked who would sit in the front and help him fly and from our group of 3, I said I volunteered thinking that he was kidding... he definitely was not! Once we took off, I had full control of the plane and it was surreal. Take a look at the photos because words don't do it justice. This is the perfect birthday/anniversary/date night present ever. Don't hesitate, give them a call and request Victor :) Hopefully I'll go again sometime!

The views of the city are really amazing - I didn't want the tour to end.

I'd definitely recommend this company to others. I'd like to fly again with them myself...

Had the privilege of going up with the fine folks at Sky River on Sunday, December 6th 2015…read more Pure professionals all the way. Upon arrival my fiancée and I were greeted by our pilot, Mark, as well as the owner and his wife. Very friendly and made us feel welcome! We didn't waste much time, and I had the privilege of watching pilot Mark do his pre-flight. He was very thorough and I could tell the bird was immaculately maintained. Shortly thereafter we were strapped in and on our way! Having only been my 2nd helicopter flight, I was geeking out the whole time, and Mark was on top of his game. Soon we were circling around the statue of liberty and on our way up the Hudson. Great views of the Freedom Tower and we went north, uptown and over the GWB before starting our return to Pittstown. Landing was flawless, came in with plenty of ground speed before smoothly exiting the active and calling it in. Pro. Pictures and words don't do it justice, this was one of the greatest experiences of my life!! Highly recommend stopping in for a quick flight (or lessons, or a license)!

Because of the reviews about the instructors...I went with the further location. Wade Krepps was our pilot and he was absolutely amazing. Off the bat, you can see his passion for flying and was easily sociable. My bf was nervous at first but with Wade's positive feedback and encouragement made the flight an excellent experience. Thank you Wade, you've made this experience a very memorable one. We will definitely recommend to our friends and family! OH! And the owner, Maria...was easily reachable. She gave me her personal number because I was a little worried about the weather last week. Also, we were running 10 minutes late. She was very accommodating about it as well.
