Travel Tuesday returns with a wave of exclusive promotions to explore New York on land, on water, and in the air. During this special tourism-focused campaign echoing Black Friday and Cyber Monday, enjoy dedicated discounts on three flagship experiences: 5% off at the SUMMIT observatory with code TRAVELSUMMIT24, 6% off a 20-minute helicopter flight with code TRAVELHELICO24, and 5% off the Harbor Lights cruise with code TRAVELHARBOR24. A simple condition: book on CNEWYORK before December 3 at 11:59 PM, while allowing you to plan your activities until the end of 2025.
Envisioned as a day entirely dedicated to travel, the Travel Tuesday initiative emerged in 2024 to extend the spirit of major year-end sales by focusing on experiences and tourism bookings. CNEWYORK joins the event by offering a selection of iconic activities, curated to provide you with the best of New York from three complementary perspectives: urban panoramas, aerial thrills, and exploration along the water. The promo codes are easy to use at checkout, and the validity dates allow you to plan a trip well into the last months of 2025.
Whether you are preparing for your first visit or wish to rediscover the city in a new way, this selection combines popularity, spectacle, and flexibility in booking. Simply choose your time slot, add the activity to the cart on CNEWYORK, and enter the corresponding promo code before finalizing your purchase.
On land: 5% off at SUMMIT
With its volumes of glass and light, the SUMMIT has established itself as one of the most spectacular observation decks in the skyline. Since its recent opening, it attracts visitors for its 360° views of Manhattan as well as its immersive pathway filled with reflections and artistic installations. For Travel Tuesday, enjoy 5% off your entry by entering code TRAVELSUMMIT24 at checkout on CNEWYORK: the discount applies instantly.
Good to know: ticket reservation for SUMMIT remains possible until November 28, 2025. This way, you retain the freedom to schedule this flagship visit during the day for an endless horizon or at sunset for golden hues on the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and Central Park.
In the sky: 6% off the 20-minute helicopter flight
Seeing New York unfold before your eyes from a glass cockpit is an unforgettable experience. The 20-minute helicopter flight, departing from Manhattan, combines intensity and balance: long enough to embrace the icons (Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center, East River bridges), calibrated to remain accessible. On the occasion of Travel Tuesday, get 6% off with code TRAVELHELICO24 at checkout. This 20-minute slot represents an excellent compromise between price and flight time, offering breathtaking views of the urban landscape.
Good to know: you can book this flight until December 20, 2025. Depending on the season, the light changes the character of the flyover: pastel shades in spring, striking contrasts in winter, golden halos at day’s end in summer.
On water: 5% off the Harbor Lights cruise
The Harbor Lights cruise reveals New York at dusk, when the skyscrapers light up and reflections dance on the Hudson and East River. The itinerary along Midtown glides towards the Financial District, circles the Statue of Liberty, and offers a clear view of the bright spire of One World Trade Center. For Travel Tuesday, enjoy 5% off by entering code TRAVELHARBOR24 at checkout on CNEWYORK.
Good to know: reservations for Harbor Lights are available until December 31, 2025. Bring a light jacket even in summer for the breeze from the open water, and consider a camera with good sensitivity to capture the lights without a tripod.
How to enjoy Travel Tuesday
Travel Tuesday is in the wake of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but focuses exclusively on travel activities. To activate the indicated discounts, it is essential to book on CNEWYORK before December 3 at 11:59 PM. The initiative was launched in 2024 and is designed as an efficient appointment to finalize an itinerary at reduced prices while locking in services until the end of 2025.
In practice, the process is simple: choose your date and time slot, add the activity to the cart, then enter the corresponding promo code (TRAVELSUMMIT24, TRAVELHELICO24, or TRAVELHARBOR24) at checkout. The discount appears instantly. Be sure to respect the validity periods specific to each activity and anticipate the most sought-after time slots, particularly at sunset for observatories and early evening for cruises.
Planning tip: combine two experiences in the same day by alternating intensity and contemplation. For instance, a helicopter flight in the late afternoon followed by Harbor Lights at night, or the SUMMIT early in the morning to enjoy soft light and a lower influx.
Prepare your trip to New York at the best price
To optimize your budget, consider monitoring flight promotions. Depending on your dates and departure airport, some airlines launch very interesting short-term campaigns. For example, you can check out Cathay Pacific’s special offers or keep an eye on Transavia flight promotions for 2025 to spot advantageous itineraries to New York or relevant connections.
If you plan to take advantage of the warm season for an extended city break, some seasonal summer getaways on promotion can fit into an itinerary passing through New York. For those who enjoy variety, taking a look at Costa Cruises promotions can inspire a maritime extension before or after your stay. Lastly, ideas for the All Saints’ weekend offer excellent guidelines for combining holidays, budget efficiency, and urban experiences.
Beyond transportation, consider off-peak periods for accommodation and neighborhoods with good value (Midtown East for centrality, Long Island City for a gentler budget with quick access to Manhattan, Downtown Brooklyn for nice connections). By securing your key activities with the codes from Travel Tuesday, you already lock in part of your expenses, leaving you more latitude to choose a hotel that fits your pace.
Practical tips to optimize your discounts
Anticipate high-demand slots. For SUMMIT, late afternoons and sunsets fill up quickly; book early if you aim for these moments. For the helicopter, check the weather conditions the day before and prefer slots with cushion time if you have a tight schedule. For Harbor Lights, arrive a bit early to choose a spot with an unobstructed view on port or starboard depending on the direction of navigation.
Keep your promo codes handy at checkout and ensure you book before December 3 at 11:59 PM on CNEWYORK to take advantage of the promotion. Then compare the rest of your itinerary with the available promotions on flights, and if necessary, consider shifting your arrival or departure by a few days to maximize overall savings.
Final instinct: align your activities with daylight. New York changes its face depending on the hour: clear and distant panoramas for the morning, oranges and pinks for twilight, nocturnal reflections for the cruise. By intelligently combining the Travel Tuesday discounts and the ideal timing, you compose a travel experience that is both aesthetic and economical.
