I'm so grateful for this experience with Gotham City Airlines! It was my one year anniversary and they scheduled us at the perfect time of sunset going into nighttime, so we had beautiful views all around. We went over the LA, Palos Verdes, and Long Beach area. Our pilot was great! (I believe his name was John?) He was very knowledgeable of the areas and even took us over our neighborhood! We had the option of bringing a picnic to enjoy in their lounge area before the flight, and they also gave us champagne which was a cute touch. Their hangar was decorated very nicely and was very cozy. I would definitely recommend this experience! Everyone was very welcoming, both the owner and the pilot! Thank you so much! :) read more

My husband and I along with our son decided to take an adventure and purchased tickets with Gotham Airlines. We were greeted kindly & saw our cute Batman plane. We took our flight after orientation regarding safety. It was very comfortable and clean inside the aircraft. A very professional pilot as well. We toured all over Los Angeles saw the Hollywood sign.. the coast & port of Long Beach.The Queen Mary a beautiful sunset above the clouds. It was so freakin Amazing! This is so worth the price and memories you can hold on to forever. Now my son has the urge to learn how to fly. Thank you Gotham Airlines for a remarkable experience! Roseanna & Family read more

Bought the 1 hour flight on Groupon for my friends birthday present. Our scheduled flight time was 5pm but due to my friends unforeseen schedule conflict he showed up about 30 min late. I showed up exactly at 5pm and talked to ray for those 30 min. He was very understanding and said not to rush my friend as the flight after ours cancelled . Our experience was amazing! Its hard to really describe the feelings I had during our flight. I've lived in L.A for all my life and have never seen it from an aerial view before. I learned to appreciate my city a lot more. My friend loved it as well and now wants to purchase a Cessna lol Overall an amazing, unforgettable experience! Would highly recommend to anyone that wants to appreciate L.A a bit more. read more

Talk about a great experience this was definitely one for the books! GOTHAM CITY AIRLINES did such an amazing job. My husband planned this for my 30 birthday weekend. I did alot that weekend but this absolutely topped it for-sure. We flew over LA just as the sun was setting. Crystal, Raymond and our pilot Enis I believe his name is I wish I knew how to spell it "sorry" were genuinely nice and very helpful through out the whole experience. If your looking for a unique anniversary gift or a spontaneous thing to do this is it! Gotham City Airlines I will be referring many friends and family. Thanks y'all the best - Crystal & Steven read more

I got it as a gift for my children. We had no idea it would turn out like this. As my 5 year old in his first time on a plane to my 11 year old daughter sitting in the front like she's operating the plane around world famous Los Angeles as about as surreal as it gets. Seeing the Staple center, queen Mary, Santa Monica peir, dodger stadium, downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood sign, and many more, it was priceless. A #1 need to do on anyone's bucketlist in this lifetime. read more

Surprised my boyfriend for his birthday with a hour long flight over DTLA around sunset and it was absolutely breathtaking! He loved it!! Got lots of great pix! Raymond, the pilot, was really great about answering all my questions and flying us! He even allows you to bring your own food and drink with you, which we did, but didn't even touch it because of the adrenaline of being up in the sky and the amazing sights! It's super affordable too (I only paid $165 for both my bf and I total), and he can fly up to 3 people in his small plane! There is a Groupon for the flights, just make sure to book early! It's the perfect date idea for couples looking for something more exciting, and not your average dinner and a movie. Even if you've never flown before or you are a frequent flier, the intimacy of the small plane is the perfect balance of exhilarating, yet not too scary. It was a smooth ride! Thank you again Raymond & Gotham City Airlines! read more

It was my 30th Birthday Weekend and I wanted to do something different and unique for my celebration and my Fiancé happened to come across this experience on GroupOn which is something I've never done, Fly an Aircraft and it so happen to be themed my favorite superhero the Dark Knight Batman! They even allowed my Fiancé and I to capture the memories and have a mini professional Photoshoot with the dope Batman vintage style airplane. The whole flight crew staff: Raymond (Owner/Pilot), Cristal (Photographer) and Jay (Pilot) were very communicative, down-to-earth, and super friendly from pre-boarding to to the post flight process making it fun and thrilling overall! This LA experience is a MUST and the best flight experience for couples or a small group in El Monte! Thank you Gotham City Airlines! read more

Absolutely amazing experience. My husband surprised me and my toddler with a private tour of the greater Los Angeles area. I have been on other tours, but this is hands down the best experience I have had. Our pilot made sure we were ready to capture every moment and scenic spit including Downtown LA, The Hollywood sign, and even the Queen Mary. It was so much fun and our Little one had a blast.

Fantastic tour for a fantastic price. The owner was great and helped schedule the perfect tour option for an unbeatable price. Once arriving, the crew were nice and chill, without pressuring us to get into the plane to get the tour over. They helped us take pictures, explain the process, relax, and waited until we were ready to get into the plane. The tour itself lasted the described time, with friendly pilot. He did a great job flying the plane and pointing out the landmarks. No complaints, would highly recommend. read more

My word. One of the best possible experience anyone can have. They are more than accommodating and this experience is everything you can want out of flying. Had a stellar experience from start to finish with everyone on staff. Was a nice fresh breath of air from everyday life with an amazing experience and view. Looking forward to making this a regular thing read more

Fantastic tour of the LA skyline and coastline. Definitely recommend the sunset flight to experience a sunset from 3,000 feet.

Absolutely breath taking experience. Ray is definitely passionate about flying and aircraft and is an amazing pilot and tour narrator. We took a 7:00pm flight and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. Rays goes above and beyond to please his customers and is excellent in terms of communication and confirmation of flight times. Overall, we had a great experience, definitely something to do at least once. Thank you Gotham City Airlines. read more

You won't find a business owner who genuinely cares about his customers as much as Raymond. We communicated back and forth for months because I had to schedule my flight months ahead of time. He was always quick to respond, and patient. I rarely write reviews but I felt compelled to write this one. Do yourself a favor and book a flight. You're in good hands; you won't regret it. read more

This was by far the best experience I had in the beautiful city I grew up in. We just finished this tour I surprised my bf for our two year anniversary. The service Ray gave and the explanation of what the flight includes where we are going to be flying over was more than a 5 star rating. I highly recommend this tour for a family of three or anniversary or date something special or something just to enjoy an amazing city. Very affordable price, easy to find and amazing service. Thank u again to Ray for this amazing experience and making my bf and I anniversary one to remember! read more

2 stars because I didn't have that great of an experience with them.. It all started with me roaming on Groupon looking for fun activities, or at least something memorable, to do in Los Angeles for the weekend that my boyfriend and I were going to be there. I saw a Groupon for this company and thought what else would be more fun than a little scenic view over DTLA? I went onto Yelp to see that there were sunset flight options available so I was immediately sold, considering that would be the icing on the cake for my boyfriend's 21st bday celebration. So I started messaging Ray via Yelp messenger and I would give him a 3.5/5 on responsiveness. He basically told me to not get the Groupon but instead order straight from their website with a promo code he gave me, which I didn't mind because it ended up being the same price anyways. Moving on to the day before our planned departure date. Ray and I had scheduled a 7pm flight on Saturday, and he called me around 8:30pm on Friday night saying that due to the foggy weather in LA recently, flying around 7pm would be uneventful since we would not be able to see much from up ahead. He offered to provide either a 1:30pm or 4:30pm flight instead. Of course I was disappointed but since it wasn't really anyone's fault and he was just making sure we'd get the most out of our flight, I opted for the 1:30pm choice instead. This is where things get annoying... the next morning my boyfriend and I left our Airbnb in Hollywood via Uber to go all the way to El Monte during rush hour, so that was about a $29 trip. Literally 2 minutes before we arrived at El Monte Airport to meet up with Ray.. he calls me and says that due to "June thunderstorms", he feels uncomfortable taking us up into the sky in a small plane. At that point I didn't know what to say and was pretty much speechless. On one hand, it was nice of Ray to be thoughtful about that sense but on the other hand, my boyfriend and I just spent about $30 on Uber and went through 1 hour of LA traffic for him to notify us 2 MINUTES before we got there. I was pretty annoyed with the fact that overall we couldn't go on any plane ride at all. I called Ray back and we agreed on a refund since I didn't know when I would be back in LA for a rescheduled flight. I waited one week, checking my bank statement everyday, to see if a refund was issued but it still didn't show up. I had to message Ray again reminding him about it for him to initiate the refund. Over the phone he said he would also refund me the promo code discount to compensate for my long drive from West Hollywood to El Monte, but the receipt I received for the refund only showed the initial price. I would message him back again about it but at this rate I really just wanted my money back. All in all.. kind of mixed emotions about my experience. I believe Gotham City usually offers excellent service due to all the other amazing reviews on here, just disappointed that my plans weren't able to proceed as planned. read more

It was an amazing experience with Santiago as our pilot! Very knowledgeable, fun, and accommodating. Well worth every penny spent for a up close and personal tour of Los Angeles. I am definitely going to do this again and I would recommend Gotham City airline to anyone looking for the same type of experience. read more

AMAZING!!!! This one word explains our experience in the clear blue skies of LA. We flew on a Piper plane which was very smooth but a little small cabin but very cozy and comfortable. Our pilot, Guillermo was awesome; he was very knowledgeable and an obvious experienced pilot who knows what he's doing. My husband flew the plane and it was smooth sailing. I was very impressed and was not fearing for my life once my hubby took the wheel. It was truly a wonderful experience. If you want lasting memories of flying over LA, contact Ray at Gotham City Airlines....you will be so glad you did. read more

Awesome time! Very casual place. No safety waivers or formalities. Ray communicates via his personal cellphone and greeted us with some free beers which was awesome. He offered to take photos of us and narrated our whole sunset plane ride. Very knowledgeable! All around great experience.
