Overview

Experience a magical nighttime helicopter ride during The Most Wonderful Time of The Year with up to 5 companions! Departing from Westchester County Airport, you'll soar over New York City and return, creating unforgettable memories with friends and family. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity allows you to witness the breathtaking views of the iconic Manhattan skyline and familiar landmarks beautifully adorned in holiday lights. Helicopters take off from Westchester County Airport and reach NYC airspace in just minutes.

During the tour, our skilled pilots will provide you with stunning bird's-eye views of Midtown Manhattan, Central Park, the Empire State Building, Times Square, and more.
