We sincerely regret the inconvenience caused by your canceled appointment and the subsequent rescheduling arrangements, which did not meet your needs. At the time of the incident, the President of the United States was actively traveling through controlled airspace, and this operational circumstance created a highly fluid and time-sensitive environment. We are currently reviewing the events to identify how we can improve our processes and ensure a more reliable experience for our customers going forward.

I got stuck in the middle seat of the helicopter, even though I paid full price! Can't even enjoy the view, just squeezed between two window people, staring at the sky the whole time. They should totally charge less for the middle seat or just put four people in the helicopter. It's not worth ruining someone's once-in-a-lifetime experience for a few extra bucks. Seriously.

Mixed Bag

The admin part left much to be desired, a lot of waiting and rescheduling but the pilot herself was good and knowledgeable.

I would say the flight itself was very…WONDERFUL AND BREATHTAKING!!!

I would say the flight itself was very phenomenal and the pilot was super nice, she was very warm and welcoming. However, it was my birthday and I didn’t feel the welcome and just overall hospitality for that, like atleast do a little special thing for people’s birthday even if it’s a cardboard birthday hat or something. I see someone didn’t like their seat and they got a free ride again right after. So I know they are capable of doing more.

First, we are very happy to hear that you enjoyed the flight itself and that your pilot helped make the experience memorable with her warmth and professionalism. We will be sure to pass along your kind comments to her.
At the same time, we are sorry to hear that your birthday experience did not feel as special or celebrated as you had hoped. We understand that occasions like birthdays carry extra meaning, and we certainly never want a guest to leave feeling overlooked during an important celebration.
While operational and accommodation decisions can vary depending on safety, availability, and specific circumstances on the day of flight, we do understand your perspective and appreciate your honest feedback regarding the overall hospitality and atmosphere you experienced.
Your comments have been shared with our team as we are always looking for ways to improve the guest experience and make special occasions feel more memorable.

Hello,
We are very sorry to hear about the confusion and frustration surrounding your experience and transportation arrangements.
At times, temporary airspace holds and restrictions can change very quickly and unexpectedly due to FAA and NYC air traffic conditions, which may result in sudden operational updates. We completely understand how frustrating this situation must have been, especially while already in transit.
Please reach out to parkerday@nyonair.com for further assistance regarding your experience, and we would be happy to review the situation further with you.

Don't be scared, it's amazing!

I am terrified of heights and at first didn't want to fly but my fiance talked me into it. After we arrived staff was helpful from the start and professional. I felt stressed but safe when they put on my harness and explained all safety features. When we got to a helipad and lifted off the ground in the smoothest way possible I forgot about being stressed. It was amazing! It's ike riding ridiculously loud lift and the magical carpet at the same time. Views were amazing! It changed my mind about helicopters and I will definitely do something like that again!

Disappointing Customer Experience!

Very disappointing experience overall. The helicopter ride itself was great and the pilot was professional and kind, but unfortunately the customer experience before and after the flight completely ruined it for us.

The front desk staff was not welcoming or understanding, and both the online and in-person customer service felt cold and inconsistent. It honestly felt like different customers were treated differently, which was frustrating to experience firsthand.

Looking back now, I probably should have paid more attention to the negative reviews mentioning poor customer service because unfortunately that ended up matching our experience too.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed the flight itself and that your pilot provided a professional and positive experience. However, we are genuinely sorry to hear that the customer service interactions before and after your flight left you feeling disappointed.
Providing every guest with a welcoming, respectful, and consistent experience is extremely important to us, so it is concerning to hear that you felt otherwise during your visit. We also understand how frustrating it can feel when expectations are not met, especially during what should be a memorable experience.
Your comments regarding the front desk interactions and overall communication have been shared internally for further review with our team. Feedback like yours is taken seriously and helps us identify areas where we need to improve.
We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention and regret that parts of your experience did not reflect the level of hospitality we aim to provide.
Thank you again for flying with us and for your honest feedback. We do want to be clear that even though you were running late, we did add another flight for you. We made sure to accommodate you and the other two in your party on your own flight, hence the fees charged.
