In the last year and a half, airlines have been dropping sales left, right, and center as that pandemic hangover has worn off and travel numbers are boosting back to pre-2020 levels. But, are these sales actually worth it?

In this article, we’ve rounded up the best Black Friday deals from the most popular airlines we’ve seen in the past, to shed some light on what you can expect from this year’s sales.

We’re focusing on US-based carriers and sales in this article, but we also have a rundown of what you can expect from the UK and Ireland over here. Aren’t we so kind?

Round-trip flights to Europe under $300, Tahiti at $644 including a checked bag, and five-star flights to Osaka at $690 only scratched the surface of deals we found from across the country. 

We’re also only going to run down the stuff that’s actually gonna give you the best bang for your buck. Airlines love to advertise “sales”, but with mediocre fares. We aren’t afraid to call a spade a spade, so you won’t see any of that stuff below. 

It’s important to note, that even though we’re super awesome at finding our members great deals, we aren’t fortune-tellers. The predictions we’ve made about 2024's Black Friday and Cyber Monday flight deals are based on past trends, with a pinch of our flight expertise thrown in. 

Since demand has been so high in the last 18 months, it’s highly likely that prices might be a smidge higher across the board than a few years back. We’re keeping our fingers and toes crossed that 2024 will be the year of (good) surprises with everything back to (almost) normal!

Other Airlines

Wait… what about KLM, Air France, Lufthansa, Qatar and countless other airlines out there? 

Well, it doesn’t mean they don’t do Black Friday sales, just that we haven’t seen them produce anything that’s truly deal-worthy for the U.S. market, in our expert opinion. You might find them on our other article that explains airline sales.

We only share sales that are truly deals. That means good value and historically low prices when compared against all of their competitors.

So if there’s an airline you like to fly with, it’s always going to be worth checking for a sale on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Just because we haven’t listed it here, it doesn’t mean they don’t have some discounts.

We would always recommend checking the price of a flight you’re interested in a week or two before sale time, so you know exactly how much they’ve actually discounted it on the day. Airlines like to get creative with how they advertise their prices sometimes.

Conclusion

You’re now ready for the big day - you now know the history and our predictions for every airline we’ve seen in Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales from the US.

We’ll keep this article up to date, so you can bookmark it and use it year after year as a handy sale season money-saving guidebook.
