The best Black Friday travel deals for 2023: From flights to package holidays

April 2024 · 6 minute read

These are the travel deals and discounts for Black Friday and beyond...

It’s cold, it’s dark by 5pm and I for one am in need of a holiday. If you’ve got your sights set on a dream vacation next year or want to jet off this side of Christmas, you’ll do well to shop the Black Friday travel deals that are launching thick and fast.  Travel companies, flight handlers and holiday brands are getting those travel deals in thick and fast and I for one thank them! Maybe now’s the time to consider taking that cruise you’ve always planned or to stop talking about the girls’ trip you’ve been chatting about since college and get booking it; or if you’re the planning type, get your 2024 holidays booked in for the kids’ school half terms already.

    • Although not all of our favourite holiday companies have dropped their travel Black Friday deals, I’ve done a deep dive into the last few years of Black Friday travel sales to see the sorts of savings you can expect to find and highlighted the deals already available. And fear not, many travel companies have some brilliant discounts anyway, Black Friday or not…

    Tips for getting the best Black Friday travel deals

  • Search flights by month -  Try not to get tied to a specific date, instead, do your research and see what’s the cheapest month to fly to your preferred destination. When searching, open your search up to the whole month too – you’ll find some days are cheaper to fly on than others, and prices can vary on the time of day you fly too. 
  • Try different departure airports -  Some airports are cheaper to travel from than others. Of course, if you can’t get to an airport it’s not even worth considering it, but for some, travelling a little further by car to their departure airport might add an hour to the journey but can see savings double. It’s worth noting that some airports are cheaper to park at than others, and some that you might not have considered are far easier to get to by public transport than you might have thought… 
  • Be open to new destinations -  If you're frantically searching for a cheap trip to New York, chances are, you’re probably not the only one and those deals can sell out pretty quickly. Shop around for inspiration or alternative destinations. 
  • Don't forget to book your staycation -  We don't have to tell you that the UK is just as beautiful to visit as some further afield destinations. Don't dismiss booking your next staycation over the Black Friday weekend too - who needs the Maldives when you've got Margate?
