Top Air Activities in New York

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.

My advice is to keep an eye out for discounts online. Sometimes you can find promo codes or special offers that really help with the cost.

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!
