    We did their private NYC tour for 30 minutes, for three people. The helicopter is a little tight. Kinda high to get into. I was wearing a knee brace. A few steps would have made it easier. They operate out of two bldgs. The main hangar area where the restrooms are. You will ride a golf cart to your helicopter. The main bldg marked by Hangar 400 is where you lounge, go over the safety video, etc. Our pilot was very safe. There was some turbulence due to high winds but he kept things steady. The ground crew let us take photos before and after. Everyone of their staff is very kind and accommodating. The pricing was $599 + $25 per person on site fee ($75). Total was $675 + tip ($45). We had a really good time. It was kinda short over the NYC part mainly due to round trip from Linden. The desk staff suggested opting for the 1 hour influencer pkg (you can pick sites to fly over). Which we will do next time.

    I cannot recommend Heliflights enough! I wanted to surprise my partner with something crazy for their birthday, so what could be better? I purchased a flight for the VIP Manhattan tour and opted to keep the doors on, but later upgraded to doors off when we arrived. After checking in, we watched a safety video and received our inflatable vests for the ride. They provide lockers for leaving your items behind, if necessary, or you can leave them in the car. I am so glad we did the doors off tour, it was like nothing else. Our pilot was informative and made sure we had an extremely safe flight. This was an experience to remember and makes a perfect gift for any adrenaline junky.

    A bucket list item checked off!! A great experience and highly recommended!! We got the Manhattan vip doors off experience from Groupon and it was easy to redeem online. They book up early so plan ahead. I'd love to go back and do a sunset or night one one day!! The check in process was seamless. It was easy to find (straight up route 1 if you're in Jersey), plenty of parking, a private hanger and you go over the safety info then there's a locker for your items then ready to go, the staff are friendly. They let you (they go slower) stop and put your feet out twice. Once by the park and once by the Statue of Liberty, I did think they were going to get closer to the buildings (others pictures they look like they're right on top of the city) I would assume because it was windy our trip we didn't. We did cross over Central Park though.

    Keenan was a great pilot. We loved the 30 minutes flight over NYC. Got Groupon good price. Really nice and friendly guys all around. Couldn't have been treated any better. Ride was smooth and not scary at all LOL. Loved the views and the commentary. I would definitely recommend Heliflights for a first time helicopter ride. And we will be back. Thanks guys!

    What an AMAZING experience. My son wanted to do this for aerial photography. Even though I'm acrophobic, I said OK. When we first arrived, they were turning a couple away because they were 30lbs over the weight limit! While I felt bad for them, I felt so reassured that they take safety seriously! Kevin checked us in and he was professional and wonderful! We upgraded to the "doors off" option and it was worth it! After the first few minutes, our pilot, James, was able to put me at ease. We saw unbelievable views of Central Park, the bridges and Lady Liberty! He was such a pro and I just kept repeating WOWIWOWOW! I would definitely do this again!

    Booked a VIP 1/2 hour Manhattan tour and it was great. They are very professional. Our pilot was great. He gave us a great tour of Manhattan pointing out all the key attractions and getting us close to all the key sites. We are New Yorkers born and raised in the Bronx so touring Manhattan thru helicopter to see the Statue of liberty and other key sites was great. We did doors on but my husband said he would DEFINATELY do doors off in the summer. I totally recommend this tour it was a great experience. We felt completely safe with our pilot.

    Beautiful views

    Chris was our pilot. He was awesome! What a beautiful day it was and Chris explained all the sites we were coming up to. I am so happy that we went on this flight. Kevin was at the desk when we got back and we purchased all the pictures and had them Airdropped into our iPhone. I can't wait to go back again and see more!

    Hands down the most adventurous experience ever. We flew with the doors off and it was absolutely exhilarating. The staff are very welcoming, reassuring, and professional. I was a bit nervous but they do a fantastic job explaining what to expect/ safety guidelines. The pilot also communicates with you during the flight and explains the history/ fun facts of famous landmarks. He also slows down the helicopter to allow you to stick your feet out. The entire flight is 30 minutes - and it literally flies. So worth it!!

    What can I say about this place it was great and very professional. My fiancée has gotten this for my birthday and I was very excited to try it. We were able to both fly for about 15 minutes each. It was great, definitely a worth while experience. Once we got in and checked in they showed us how to operate the helicopter on a dummy model inside the office. Which was helpful and a great learning experience. Once my fiancée flew and did amazing. It was my go and the individuals that led us to fly were very helpful and professional. We got to the helicopter and got in, belted up for safety of course. And we got going. Don't worry you will have one of the pilot trainees with you the whole time. They take off and get you in the air once your up they give you control to make turns and control the helicopter in flight. It's like driving school where he has control as well and will be there along the way. Overall a very cool experience and I throughly enjoyed it. Just wish it could of fit one more and my fiancée and I could have taken some pictures up there together. Overall great experience which was incredible. I would say to anyone that loves soaring in the sky give it a try.

    The staff there were so professional and really welcoming. The check-in, wait time, and start of the trip was so stream lined. The support staff was so cool and knew what they were doing. The pilot was so informative and even though we were flying with some high winds, the ride was smooth. It was a great tour and saw all the sites expected. I would highly recommend and will be going again.

    What is the best time of day to take a tour?

    I have found best time is noon when the lighting is consistent for taking pictures.

    The pilot Anthony had such control of the helicopter and was very good at telling us what we were looking at.

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.

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.

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.

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)!
