DON’t go! I don’t or haven’t worked there.
If I could give them a “0,. I would! It was $50. It was not worth it. I have been all over the United Stares. This is the worst one.

Worth every penny
The lounge at the hanger was impressive. The pilot was perfect and super knowledgeable/helpful. The views truly were spectacular. To see the NYC skyline I have seen 1000x (I’m local) from this vantage point was truly amazing
