These days BF is properly global, its deals taking over pretty much every sector and often lasting weeks both before and after the day itself. And that applies to travel, too. It’s a great time of year to nab some sweet travel deals, whether that be on hotels, transport or package holidays.
Ranging from luxury tour operators to swish hotel chains, below we’ve rounded up some of this year’s best Black Friday deals. Read on... and get bargain-hunting!
