About this activity

Take in breathtaking nighttime views of New York City as you depart from Essex County Airport in New Jersey, conveniently located just a 45–60 minute taxi or rideshare from Midtown Manhattan.

Sit back and enjoy the ride of a lifetime on a 25–30 minute flight, beginning with illuminated views of landmarks like American Dream and MetLife Stadium before heading toward Manhattan’s glowing skyline. As you soar above the Hudson River, witness the city come alive with iconic sights including the Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center, the Empire State Building, and more—each beautifully lit against the night sky.

A once-in-a-lifetime experience you’ll never forget—and one you’ll be talking about long after you land.
