Hi @PaulPavlinovich , that flight is really incredible, I remember that my experience in NYC was not like that …
Now I will put it on my list so I can do it when I get back.
Beautiful video.

I certainly recommend the experience @MaxWalsh I don’t much like one way that they run the service, they gather all the people going on the chopper into a room and you watch a safety video and sign the forms which is fine, but then they come in and say "for another US$150 we can give you a double length ride " now that is significantly cheaper and for someone who can afford it you take up the offer in a blink of an eye, but the trouble is everyone on the flight has to agree. Myself and an older couple just said sure lets do it, bu a younger couple in there had to think what they would miss out on if they spent that $150 each on the ride. They ended up doing it and were very happy when it was over but you could tell they were doing soul searching before deciding. Its not a nice tactic to pit people against each other like that.

Apparently, everywhere in the world there are people who play with it. It is not easy for everyone to agree, especially if they are already on top of the helicopter.
What is the company with which you made the flight? @PaulPavlinovich

I went with FlyNYON @MaxWalsh they are the only ones doing doors off tours.

The other thing I learned is that its best to be the heaviest person on the chopper because they put you in the seat directly under the centre of the blades giving you a very stable platform for photography. For once being heavy was a good thing :slightly_smiling_face:

It is incredible how Instagram put advertising of that agency, and showing me photos of the helicopter with people half body outside …
I don’t remember having googled anything haha … @PaulPavlinovich

Instagram is pretty clever @MaxWalsh and seems to drag in information from all over the place including browser cookies. Lately I’ve noticed that if you click a link inside insta instead of launching your browser it very cleverly opens in its own internal browser where they’re free to grab anything else a website stores locally like cookies so they can learn more about you.

Hi @Julien44 , thank you very much for your comment, and I also hope that someday you can visit this beautiful place.
At least with this post, you already have a guide.
