Long before the digital age, the Apple was the global capital, the world’s most dynamic, multicultural, cosmopolitan metropolis: New York, New York.

Immortalised in thousands of movies, and mythologised in popular song by everyone from Sinatra to the Velvet Underground and Ramones, New York remains the city break destination par excellence.

From the Statue of Liberty to Times Square, Broadway to Greenwich Village, New York is instantly recognisable, even if you’ve never been.

If you’ve really never been, you’ve just run out of excuses, as today’s Big Deal offers an irresistible trip for two to the city that never sleeps, with direct flights from Glasgow and a stylish, classic Midtown Manhattan hotel right in the core of the Apple.

We’ll take Manhattan

The Big Deal, exclusive to 5pm customers, flies you direct to New York Newark Liberty airport with United Airlines.

Option one provides four nights room-only accommodation based on two sharing a standard twin or double at the Row NYC Hotel on Times Square. Option two extends the stay to five nights.

Hold luggage up to 23 kg per person plus a carry-on is included, so you can give free expression to those shopping urges.

Flight dates

The city breaks are for four or five nights, flying out from Glasgow International on the following dates:

3rd, 4th, 7th, 17th, 18th, 21st, 24th February
7th March

Flights are direct, with a duration of around eight hours outbound and six hours and 30 minutes inbound.

Other airports and dates may be available subject to extra surcharge. Please enquire by calling directly.

Classic Times Square Hotel

The Row NYC, formerly known as the Milford Plaza, and a Times Square landmark since 1928, has a cool, bohemian atmosphere, with its chic steel, glass and natural wood décor and plenty of eye-catching artworks.

Guestrooms feature flat-screen cable TV, iPod docking station and safe for a laptop. Blackout curtains and a desk are also included. Information and arrangements for shows, transportation and shopping are available through the concierge services.

The District M Bar in the lobby serves continental breakfast each morning and is available for drinks in the evening. The City Kitchen restaurant, also located on site, offers classic New York city fare.

It’s the perfect base for your exploration of Manhattan, with all the buzz of Times Square and Broadway on your doorstep, and nearby subway stations for expeditions uptown or downtown. Radio City Music Hall, Madison Square Garden, the Empire State Building, and Javits Convention Center are 15 minutes’ walk away.

New York attractions

Maybe Fashion Avenue is your bag or you are more in tune with a Broadway show? New York has an itinerary for everyone, from the punk pilgrims wandering the Lower East Side, to the romantics checking out Radio City Music Hall.

Your hotel is within a short step of every kind of restaurant. Head a few blocks uptown for the cultural delights of the Guggenheim and MOMA. See all New York at play in Central Park, where you can watch everything from Tai Chi to Shakespeare.

Of course the city has pretty much every international cuisine you can imagine, but don’t neglect the unpretentious city staples, Nathan’s hot dogs from Coney Island, pizza slices from street delis and the inimitable cheesecake. Embrace the glorious New York brusqueness.

It’s part of the city’s charm. Gotta problem wid dat?
