What customers are saying about FlyNYON:
Rukshan Wilson
When we were looking around for helicopter experience around NYC, we decided that FlyNYON would fit what we were looking for. We made use of the 70% discount and it was worth every dollar even if we had to pay full price. The safety briefing was great, they take great pride in ensuring clients are safe and Luis took care of us really well from start to finish. They also provided us with a phone holder so that we can get the shots we did and the pilot was really friendly and ensured everyone got all the views on both sides. What is totally unique about FlyNYON is the fact that you can hang your legs on the side of the helicopter while going over the iconic skyline of NYC and for any thrill seeker this is a wonderful and unique experience which is memorable and we would definitely do it again at night time and would totally recommend FlyNYON to anyone considering doing this experience. Thanks

Had a wonderful experience! Booked it as a surprise for my partner
Both of us loved it. I was worried that it might be too cold as this was in last week of November, however it wasn’t.
The views were stunning and the experience was safe.
Make sure you guys wear tight beanies. Thick jackets to enjoy the experience fully.
Also choose doors off if you want to experience more adventure.

"Unforgettable New York City Helicopter Adventure"
My experience with FlyNYON was nothing short of extraordinary. The vibrant city of New York took on a whole new dimension when viewed from a helicopter without doors – a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that made me feel incredibly special.
From start to finish, the staff's politeness, friendliness, and helpfulness were exceptional. The service was impeccable, ensuring every moment was memorable. Mr. Parker (General Manager at FlyNYON), in particular, went above and beyond, personally assisting with the booking and ensuring a phenomenal adventure.
Thank you, FlyNYON, for an unforgettable journey above the city that never sleeps!

Absolutely terrific experience from start to finish. Checkin was easy, followed by an informative safety video. Headquarters has comfortable seating throughout, and several vending machines on hand.
The general manager advised us that due to weight and balance we'd need to take a later flight, which in fact worked in our favour, affording us the opportunity to take a sunset flight, ordinarily more expensive, but free to change this time.
FlyNyon is very organised when it comes to getting your cameras and phones ready to take on an open door flight, you are permitted one camera and one phone per human, and cannot chance lenses nor cameras with anyone mid-flight. Choose wisely, I'd recommend wide angle.
After signing our lives away, watching the safety briefing, putting on personal harnesses (to secure us to the heli), we took a short van ride to the helipad, where we disembarked the shuttle and awaited our pilot in an outdoor seating area.
Our pilot arrived, we made our way to the heli, boarded (seats assigned based on weight distribution, so if you're flying with a SO, you may not sit together) we departed and headed out over Manhattan.
Smooth sailing, clear skies, a beautiful time was had by us all, upon returning we took the shuttle back to where we started, returned the harnesses and camera straps, and made our way home with beautiful memories and freezing hands and faces (Nov 18th 2023)
Thank you FlyNYON for maintaining your excellent standard. (4th time returning) - consistently excellent and I highly recommend to anyone reading.
Solly B
Although we feared we'd turn blue on a 'doors open' flight in November, we got well harnessed up, gloves on, and had a truly memorable view of New York. Safety is extremely well handled by very friendly staff and the chopper was smart. Everything went smoothly and I'd recommend FlyNYON unreservedly.
