Disappointed!

Flight was cool but was not told that you were going to jam 6 people in a helicopter that can fit 4 comfortably... To my knowledge I thought I was booking a helicopter ride for my fiancé and I only! We Went from thinking it was going to be romantic ride with just the two of us to you guys jamming 6 of us in there like sardines! I was very specific about getting to see the sunset but we didn’t get off the ground till 5:30pm which was to late... So like I said the flight was cool but overall experience was misleading and disappointing!

Hi Christopher, We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with parts of the experience. We booked your flight as close to sunset as we had available on the day so it was after the sun had gone down but there would still be some colors in the sky at the beginning of your flight. Our tours are currently flown with 6 passengers, we send as a message to all customers in advance to make sure they know what to expect. I'm so sorry that you didn't receive this message prior to your experience. I'm glad you still enjoyed the actual flight and we will work on improving our communication to ensure all our passengers know what to expect before arriving.

Headphone’s microphone didn’t work properly. Also space is too small inside of Helicopter as COVID 19 point of view.

Thanks for sharing how amazing the view was! As part of our Covid-19 health and safety protocols the microphones are currently not working in the helicopters and we are requiring passengers to wear masks to try and keep everyone safe in the cabin. Between each flight we sanitize the interior of the aircraft thoroughly as well to ensure everyone can safely fly with us!

We had to go out of Manhattan in the New Jersey which is about 1hour trip, when we arrived we had a short breifing but we waited almost 1h before having the tour, no water offered and in the middle of nowhere the wait was were long. We were 12 person meaning 6 are in the border and have window and 6 are in the middle of the helicopter means you see Nothing and can't take pictures. My husband was ok because at the window but me and the other 6 in the middle paid for nothing....
