My advice is to check for discount codes online before you go. I saved some bucks doing this and it made the experience even sweeter!

I suggest booking your flight in the late afternoon around 5 PM to catch the sunset. It's such a breathtaking view and you'll get the city lights twinkling as you land. Definitely a highlight for me!

Don’t forget your camera, but make sure to double-check their rules on photography. I missed some great shots because I was worried about guidelines

I think wearing a windbreaker is a smart move! The chopper can get pretty windy, and it's way more comfortable than freezing your butt off mid-flight

Try to book your helicopter ride in the morning right when they open around 9 AM. It’s less crowded, and you’ll have a better chance of clear skies for those stunning views

Bring a light jacket or sweater even in summer. It can get chilly up in the air, especially if you’re sitting by the window.

Definitely check for combo deals online. I saved quite a bit by bundling my helicopter ride with a meal at a nearby restaurant.

Use a good camera or smartphone with a decent zoom. The views are incredible, and you’ll want to capture those moments without relying on the helicopter's photos, which can be pricey.

I recommend adding on the extended tour option if it's in your budget. Trust me, the extra minutes make a huge difference in taking in the sights.

My advice is to plan your visit on a weekday if possible. Weekends can be super packed, and I found it hard to get a flight without a long wait.

I suggest checking out any specials or discounts they have on flights. I snagged a great deal last minute, which saved me some cash for souvenirs!
