A doors-off helicopter ride over New York City for $99. That's not a typo, and there's no catch.
FlyNYON offers off-peak helicopter tours at a fraction of our regular pricing. Same helicopter. Same views of the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, One World Trade, and the downtown Manhattan skyline. The only difference is when you fly.
Off-peak flights run seven days a week between 12pm and 4pm. It's a 16-minute doors-off helicopter flight over downtown Manhattan.
For comparison, our standard doors-off experience is $603 per seat. The off-peak rate is the same aircraft, the same crew, the same safety standards. You just have to fly inside the 12-4pm window.
People assume a $99 helicopter ride means some stripped-down version of the real thing. It doesn't.
Here's what's included:
The only thing different is the time window. Flying midday on a weekday can actually be an advantage. Fewer passengers in the queue. Less crowded parking lot. A calmer overall experience.
If your schedule has any flexibility between 12pm and 4pm, this is the move. Off-peak flights work well for:
Locals. You live here. You don't need to come on a Saturday in July. A Tuesday afternoon in April? The city looks just as good from up there, and you save hundreds of dollars.
Visitors with a flexible itinerary. If you're spending a few days in New York and can carve out an afternoon, you can fly over Manhattan for less than the price of dinner in Midtown.
Groups. At $99 a seat on weekdays, a group of four pays under $400 for a doors-off helicopter tour. Standard doors-off pricing for the same group would run you over $2,400. The math changes the conversation.
People who've been putting it off. A helicopter ride over NYC has probably been on your list for a while. At this price, there's no reason to keep pushing it to "someday."
Off-peak pricing shows up on our booking calendar for flights between 12pm and 4pm, seven days a week. Head to the New York booking page and look for the 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, or 3pm slots. They're marked — you'll see them.
