The best Black Friday holiday deals in the UK – Is Travel Tuesday real?
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are ideal for picking up a host of holiday bargains, some of which rival travel deals in the January sales – and if you've got the patience to wait until Travel Tuesday, you can secure even greater savings.
From hotel break offers to flight deals, and days out discounts to weekend break reductions, we'll be rounding up the very best Black Friday holiday deals for 2024.
Whether you're looking to lock in your 2025 holiday now or want to fit in a last-minute escape before the end of the year, you can make huge savings on Black Friday travel deals during the huge shopping event.
Is Travel Tuesday real?
For 2024, Black Friday officially takes place on Friday 29th November and Cyber Monday is set for Monday 2nd December. However, many companies start their sales early and extend their best deals until Tuesday 3rd December. While Black Friday and Cyber Monday feature sales from all goods and services, Travel Tuesday is a dedicated day for last chance holiday discounts and cheap flights from the UK's major airports.
Some platforms like Secret Escapes and EasyJet previously attracted travellers to book Black Friday holiday and flight deals ahead of the big event by hosting flash sales, but Travel Tuesday is becoming increasingly popular since its launch in 2017. Starting in the United States with online flight marketplace Hopper, Travel Tuesday has made it over the pond in recent years, and we expect leading booking platforms to adopt the holiday in 2024.
From European city breaks to far-flung beach escapes and luxury staycation hotel deals, there are plenty of trips to save on this Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Travel Tuesday. Here's our pick of the best places to browse for discounts...
Booking.com
This year, we'll be keeping an eye on Booking.com's Black Friday sale. There are usually discounts on accommodation across the globe, and in previous years that's included 408 options in the UK. Many deals have previously been valid into the following year, giving you complete flexibility to travel now or in the future. Whether it's a charming hotel in Rome, or a beach hotel in Dubai, you could make huge savings on accommodation.
The Black Friday sale has also been known to include discounts on rental cars from participating suppliers.
