Amtrak is making it easier to travel around the Big Apple from the bustling streets of New York City to the soaring peaks of the Adirondacks, the thundering roar of Niagara Falls, and beyond with a buy-one-get-one ticket sale.
The sale is available for midweek travel throughout the state of New York and must be purchased by Feb. 28 for travel now through Feb. 29. Travelers who book one full-fare coach ticket during the sale can receive a companion ticket for free.
There are no blackout dates for the promotion, but passengers must travel on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and must purchase their tickets a least one day in advance. To take advantage, use the promo code “V309” when booking a ticket.
“New York State has so much to offer as there’s an adventure waiting for you in every region and city whether you want to relax, explore, sightsee, taste or experience the bright lights,” Amtrak Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer Eliot Hamlisch said in a statement. “Amtrak can take you there in comfort, and as a Central New York native who knows all about the beauty of the entire state, I look forward to seeing you onboard.”
The sale is valid for travel on the Adirondack, Empire Service, Ethan Allen, and Maple Leaf lines, as well as on Associated Thruways, except the 7000-8999 Thruway service.
The promotion also extends beyond New York itself, allowing travelers to book BOGO tickets to and from both New York City and Montreal as well as to and from New York City and Burlington, VT, thanks to the Ethan Allen Express, which launched last year.
Amtrak offers several picturesque rides throughout New York, including on the Adirondacks line, which features stops along the Hudson River. The rail company also offers several incredible journeys that leave from New York, like the Berkshire Flyer, which operates as a summer seasonal service and connects travelers to the Massachusetts mountains.
