It’s cold, it’s dark by 5pm and I for one am in need of a holiday. If you’ve got your sights set on a dream vacation next year or want to jet off this side of Christmas, you’ll do well to shop the Black Friday travel deals that are launching thick and fast. Travel companies, flight handlers and holiday brands are getting those travel deals in thick and fast and I for one thank them! Maybe now’s the time to consider taking that cruise you’ve always planned or to stop talking about the girls’ trip you’ve been chatting about since college and get booking it; or if you’re the planning type, get your 2024 holidays booked in for the kids’ school half terms already.
Although not all of our favourite holiday companies have dropped their travel Black Friday deals, I’ve done a deep dive into the last few years of Black Friday travel sales to see the sorts of savings you can expect to find and highlighted the deals already available. And fear not, many travel companies have some brilliant discounts anyway, Black Friday or not…

How I chose the best Black Friday travel deals
- Trusted brands: All of the travel companies I’ve highlighted are ABTA or ATOL accredited, the official seal of approval to give holidaymakers reassurance if anything goes wrong. Most travel insurance companies suggest holidays are booked with a travel operator or company that is either ABTA or ATOL protected. If not, we’ve only included brands we personally have used.
- Best deals: I’ll be updating this article throughout the month to reflect the best travel deals where savings are big. I’ve shopped around to find the best deals I can.
- Variety: Since we’re not all package holiday lovers, I’ve included a range of travel and holiday companies, operators and brands to suit all tastes and budgets.
