Holidays in New York

Why Do Musicians Love New York?

How many times have you been in a bar towards the end of a night and heard that classic Sinatra song 'New York, New York' come on, and as you started to grab your mates, sway to the song and sing after one too many raspberry lemonades promised yourself that YES! You were going to book that cheap New York Deal and check out this city that has been the inspiration to so many songs? And then how many times have you actually gone through with that promise? Once? Twice? Never? Well it doesn't matter the number you can never get enough of this place that has inspired so many musicians to pick up an instrument and create a hit song that resonates with people around the world.

Just ask Jay Z, Alicia Keys, Madonna, The Strokes, Lady Gaga, (and the list goes on) why they wrote about this city. Was it because it was an almost guaranteed number 1 hit for them? Was it because New York city grabbed them by the heart strings and said "I'm awesome for so many reasons, you must write a song about me!", or was it because being a celebrity in New York city they would've got some super special New York deals so they thought they better return the favour? To be honest probably a combination of the first two, not sure about the last reason, but you never know.

If you are looking to break away on a New York holiday then you will need to know how to get there. We obviously recommend flying and have plenty of great New York Flight Deals to help you if you'd prefer to book your holiday separately.

How to get there on the friendly skies

You don't have to be a famous celebrity to get a good New York deal, it can be as simple as knowing when to go. For example New York is one of the most competitive routes from the UK to the US and at certain times of the year you can get New York flights for a very good price.

There are a whole range of top airlines that will fly you over there whilst jostling with each other to get you the best rate, but if you want to package it up and get a nice hotel too then that can be where the tricky bit starts. NYC hotels are notoriously expensive (as in Notoriously B.I.G expensive) but you can fight this expense off with some of our preferred suppliers that will be able to give some competitive rates such as ebookers that hunt around for nice deals for hotels in New York.

New York Deals in the Heat or the Freeze?

Do you go in the hot hot heat around July and August when it is expensive? Or do you go when it is freezing cold around November, December when the Christmas shopping is at its peak? How about neither of those dire times. The trick is to get in on the January sales, the hotels are cheap, the shopping is good with deals aplenty and flights are reasonable. It's also rubbish in the UK in January so why not package it all up together, get away from the awful UK, head to New York and get some cracking deals? Aside from that, if you don't fancy the cold but still want a cheap holiday in New York try April, May or September for the best of both worlds.
