    You may be able to upgrade your seat for a cheaper price when you get to the office, but this option wasn't offered to me, so I can't guarantee that would work. If you've been, what was your experience?

    Helpful hint. Do the first flight of the day, less tourist and the pilots are more likely to set you up for the best photo shots with less people. Only thing is traffic will be extremely heavy crossing the city into Jersey. Also, if you rent their cameras, they try to make sure you get the best photos. Enjoyed your video!!
