You’ve more than likely heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, with sales exploding online and in-store on everything from beauty products to tech. However, Travel Tuesday is a relative newcomer in the big sale weekend, but it is considered to be one of the busier days for booking travel according to experts.
Shahab Siddiqui, founder of FlightsFinder.com said: “Although Black Friday has become synonymous for bagging a deal – waiting until the following Tuesday may offer you even better prices. Travel Tuesday is a little-known hack for those wanting to save money on flights.”
However, experts from Jack’s Flight Club suggest that deals may even be available on the Wednesday after Black Friday – which is typically when most Black Friday deals have come to an end.
Katy Maclure, the editor of The Detour, a weekly newsletter from Jack’s Flight Club, said: “Our recent findings suggest the Wednesday following Travel Tuesday may be the next best day to search for travel deals.
“We encourage travellers to keep an eye on this emerging trend to make the most of their travel planning, however staying vigilant throughout the whole Black Friday and Cyber Monday period is key. From our findings, we see a surge of people looking for flights from the Thursday before Black Friday through to the following Wednesday.”
But, while many airlines, hotels and travel providers bring their deals to an end at midnight on Cyber Monday, there are a select few who keep the deals going beyond the Black Friday weekend, with others.

Although most companies aren’t branding their sales as specifically for ‘Travel Tuesday’ there are a number of airlines, holiday providers and hotels who are continuing to offer discounts across Tuesday and, in some cases, even longer. However, before you book anything it’s important to check the terms and conditions and make sure that there are no additional extras to pay for that you may not have noticed.
