Magnifique survol de Manhattan, en 20 minutes c'était parfait. Dommage qu'on n'a pratiquement pas entendu les commentaires du pilote dans les écouteurs.

Wir haben uns New York bei Nacht angesehen und es war atemberaubend schön. Die Crew war super freundlich. Wir fühlten uns sicher und gut beraten. Wenn der Flug nicht so teuer wäre (ca. 280 Euro pro Person für 30 Minuten), würden wir den Flug auch bei Tageslicht gerne wiederholen.
