Your time in the air

From the heliport to the skyline

A typical sequence for this flight, subject to the operator’s instructions and conditions.

  1. Arrive & check in

    Check in 50 minutes before departure. Arrange the station shuttle directly with the provider in advance; it is not a Manhattan hotel transfer. Have the required identification and confirmation ready. The crew will explain how to store belongings and prepare for boarding; the check-in period is separate from time in the air.

  2. Briefing & boarding

    Listen to the crew’s instructions and take the seat assigned for your flight. On shared tours, balance requirements determine the arrangement, so your preferred window position is not guaranteed. Ask any practical questions before boarding and keep the cabin clear as instructed.

  3. See the skyline

    The daytime description takes in the Verrazzano Bridge approach, harbour, Hudson and Manhattan skyline. The after-sunset option focuses on illuminated landmarks. The provider controls routing and the exact time aloft. Treat the described sights as a route outline rather than a fixed sequence or guarantee of passing directly overhead.

  4. Return to the airport

    The sightseeing experience ends back at the departure airport. Collect stored belongings and leave time for your onward journey. Regional departures need a return transport plan; a short flight can still occupy a substantial part of the day once ground travel is included.
