For those looking to elevate the classic outlet shopping trip into an unforgettable adventure, Wings Air Helicopters offers a private charter flight from Manhattan to the famed Woodbury Common Outlets. Located roughly an hour north of New York City in Central Valley, New York, Woodbury Common is one of the largest outlet malls on the East Coast, featuring over 200 stores in a sprawling outdoor venue. This journey combines the convenience of helicopter travel with time to indulge in retail therapy and stunning scenery.
Departing from your preferred Manhattan heliport, the flight delivers sweeping aerial views of the New York City skyline—a patchwork of skyscrapers, bridges, and waterways framed by the Hudson River. The 20-minute flight bypasses the typical traffic snarls of the New York metro area, whisking passengers directly to a private helipad near the outlet itself.
Upon landing, the package includes complimentary car service between the helipad and the shopping village, ensuring seamless logistics through the day. Shoppers receive a welcome gift bag at the Woodbury Common customer service desk, a thoughtful perk that sets the tone for a VIP experience. Guests can spend 4 to 5 hours browsing everything from luxury fashion labels to outdoor gear and lifestyle brands.
After the spree, your helicopter awaits to return you to Manhattan with a scenic flight circling the iconic skyline, offering a last chance to savor panoramic views of landmarks such as the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty.
