Black Friday is an exciting time for travellers as holiday companies and airlines jostle to offer the very best cut-price deals. With the likes of British Airways, easyJet, TUI and Jet2 expected to offer big savings when Black Friday falls on November, 24, it could be the perfect time to book your next getaway.
As destinations including Dubai, Spain, Portugal and the Caribbean are set to be popular again this year, savvy travellers could save hundreds of pounds in the Black Friday travel sales. Traditionally, we Brits like to wait until after Christmas to book our summer holidays, seeing a huge spike in online deals in January. But Black Friday promises to deliver early treats by the bucket load for organised holidaymakers looking to book before Christmas.
While we don't know just yet exactly what we can expect to see in the Black Friday travel sales for 2023, if last year's deals are anything to go by we could see prices slashed across the globe. Most of our favourite UK holiday companies are likely to get involved in Black Friday, offering everything from money off holidays, to cheap flight deals and discounts on hotels and car hire.
