The helicopter flight provider FlyNYON currently offers a 60% discount on sightseeing flights over New York, Miami, Los Angeles and San Francisco. The flights are offered as both doors-on and doors-off (better for photography) flights.
The cheapest flights over New York City with the discount applied start at US$98 (~€92). However, the discount also applies on much more expensive flights, e.g. on New Year’s Eve over NYC or over the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Here are some example prices for sightseeing flights:

FlyNyon is part of NYONair and offers helicopter flights in five different cities in the USA. In early 2018, FlyNyon hit the headlines with a crash in New York. Since then, doors-off flights have only been permitted with special permission from the FAA. In general, you should always pay attention to the briefing, especially on doors-off flights, so that you can quickly leave the helicopter in the case of an emergency.
Getting to the Heliport
Please note that the helipads used are often a bit out of town. For the New York flights the departure takes place e.g. in Kearny near the airport Newark. For the arrival and departure we recommend the use of a taxi or Uber. The cheapest way, according to one of our readers, is to take the red or yellow PATH train from Manhattan (World Trade Center or Midtown) to Journal Square for $2.75 and then take an Uber or Lyft for about $5 to the heliport. If you start directly from Manhattan you have to budget about $60-$80 per trip.
