Booking FAQs

Bring a valid photo ID that matches the name on your booking for check-in. Wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes suitable for boarding and moving around the heliport. Light jackets are recommended year-round, as cabin temperatures may feel cooler once airborne. Sunglasses help reduce glare and make it easier to enjoy panoramic skyline views. Cameras and phones are welcome for photos, just keep them secure during your flight.

The Downtown Manhattan Heliport and terminal facilities are wheelchair accessible, and staff can assist during boarding. Collapsible wheelchairs are accepted, though powered scooters require advance coordination. Guests must be able to wear a seatbelt and follow crew instructions throughout the flight. Passengers near or above the weight limit (275 lbs / 125 kg) should contact the operator in advance for proper accommodation. Travelers with mobility, hearing, or medical needs are encouraged to inform staff beforehand for personalized assistance.

Children aged under 2 don’t require tickets but must sit on the lap of an adult. The weight limit is 275 pounds or 125 kg per passenger; passengers who weigh more than this or close to this may have to wait for a flight that can safely accommodate their weight. The helicopter does not fly over Manhattan itself, but up the Hudson, beside Manhattan. Book your tickets in advance as the New York Helicopter Tour sells out quickly. Plan your tour at the start of your NYC trip to account for potential rescheduling due to weather conditions.

Loose items such as hats, scarves, umbrellas, or large accessories are not permitted on board for safety reasons. Bags, backpacks, and purses must be stored in lockers before takeoff. Food, drinks, and gum are not allowed during the flight. Smoking, vaping, or alcohol consumption is prohibited on the premises. Pets and emotional support animals are not permitted; only certified service animals are allowed with prior notice.
