Your Black Friday travel deals round-up

This is our Black Friday flight and hotel deals round-up for 2024, based on offers that have been sent to us.

There will clearly be a lot more out there, although the quality of deals has been getting weaker in recent years. If we’ve missed anything spectacular, we’ll drop it in during today or cover it at the weekend.

We covered two deals earlier in the week – the IHG hotel sale is covered here and the Priority Pass airport lounge card deal (which is usually their best offer of the year) is covered here. We did a separate article today on a big Accor hotel offer which IS attractive.

As always, just because there’s an offer doesn’t mean it’s a genuine bargain. We will leave it up to you to decide whether you find value in these deals.

In alphabetical order:

Etihad

Etihad has launched a Black Friday offer with up to 20% off selected routes. It is 20% off the base fare and not taxes and fees, so your total saving will be less than 20% – a lot less for economy tickets where the base fare is a relatively small percentage of the total.
