Full description

New York City isn’t called the 'Big Apple' for nothing! This very popular tour provides awe-inspiring views of the Big Apple’s most iconic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. Departing from Pier 6, you will soar above the famous Hudson River, and fly right by the magnificent Statue of Liberty, gateway to the city. From your premium vantage point, look out for Governors and Ellis Islands and see Manhattan’s Financial District before cruising past the glinting angles of the NYC skyline. On this portion of the flight you'll see the Chrysler, Woolworth, Hudson Yards, Grand Central Terminal as well as the USS Intrepid, to mention just a few. You will even catch a glimpse of the George Washington Bridge and the world-renowned Central Park.

Inoubliable !!! Le vol a été décalé d'1 heure et j'ai reçu un message whatsapp de Charm Aviation pour m'informer. Nous avons été reçu par une sympathique équipe souriante qui nous a expliqué comment allait se passer notre vol. Le temps était avec nous et nous avons pu survoler la statue de la Liberté et toute la Sky Line ! Fabuleux !!!

Nos cancelaron el vuelo en la fecha prevista por mal tiempo, avisándonos un día antes. Nos ofrecieron reembolso total o reprogramar la actividad, y como aún nos quedaban días en la ciudad, la cambiamos para otro día sin problema. La experiencia increíble, el piloto iba explicando lo que sobrevolábamos en cada momento!
