A few years ago, Black Friday and Cyber Monday were phrases that only people in the US knew about, but that’s not the case anymore. Over the last few years, the traditionally American shopping mayhem (which falls the day after Thanksgiving and is followed by the just-as-chaotic Cyber Monday and Travel Tuesday the following week), has stretched into a worldwide frenzy, and travel is hands-down one of the best ways to utilise it.
Who doesn’t love a bargain, anyway? With airlines, booking platforms, hotel chains and cruise operators all slashing their prices over Black Friday weekend, you’d be silly to not at least suss out the discounts. Below is a comprehensive roundup of the very best ones, curated by us – take a look.
