Beginning in January, Megabus.com is teaming up with NYC & Company - New York's official tourism group - to offer 100,000 free seats in an effort to boost travel in the new year. About 40,000 of the seats will be designated for trips to the Big Apple. The remainder will be available for other Northeast and Midwest destinations. But you don't have to wait to plan your city escape. Travelers can book a free ride now using the promo code "GETAWAY" for trips from Jan. 6 - March 20.

Several New York promotions will coincide with the seat giveaway, including NYC Restaurant Week (Jan. 25-Feb.7); The Real Deal - hundreds of special offers from restaurants, museums and more; On The House - 2-for-1 tickets to off-Broadway shows and many more. Go to NYC & Company for those deals.
