This year, airlines have been rolling out Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales that have us dreaming about everything from Scandinavian escapes (courtesy of SAS Airlines) to exploring even further afield (hello, South Africa and Seychelles).
These are the best Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Travel Tuesday airline promotions that we have found this sale season, deals that might make that dream trip or impulsive getaway come to life. (We’ll be updating this story as additional promotions go live.)
As part of its “Blue Friday” sale, French airline La Compagnie is offering airfares as low as $2,000 round-trip for its all-business flights to Paris, Milan, or Nice. But you’ll need to act fast: The sale kicked off on Friday, November 17, and ends today, Tuesday, November 21, 2023. The deal is available on select flights between December 1, 2023, and May 31, 2024, with no specific holiday periods blacked out and subject to availability. One big caveat of the promotion, however, is that the tickets are nonrefundable.
