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:
Accor
Click here to read a separate article on a VERY attractive Accor hotel promotion – quadruple Accor Live Limitless points plus 15% off if you buy Accor gift cards to pay for your stay.
Aer Lingus
Aer Lingus is offering economy sale fares from London to Ireland and the US. You must book by 3rd December 2024 for travel from 7th January to 10th April 2025.
Fares to the US are from £230 each-way from London, or €199 from Dublin. They’re cheaper from Manchester, with direct flights to New York (£368 return), Orlando (£378 return) and Barbados (£379 return).
Cathay Pacific
Cathay Pacific is offering savings on flights to Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia ‘and more’ for travel until 30th June 2025.
Save up to 12% on flights if travelling solo or 15% as a group. You also receive a £30 Uber voucher if you book by 29th November!
The sale runs until 3rd December.

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.
You must book by 3rd December for travel from 15th January to 31st May 2025.
In the UK, only flights from Manchester are included. Fares start at £2,000 for a round-trip business class ticket.
Marriott
Marriott Bonvoy is offering up to 25% off hotel stays between 1st December and 20th January, depending on how you book and whether you’re a Bonvoy member.
The terms are fiddly with variations by region; rates are offered Thursday through Sunday but Thursday night stays require a Friday night stay. You’re best off reading the terms and conditions!
Melia
Get up to 50% off hotel stays with Melia for bookings made before 1st December. It includes stays at ‘urban’ hotels until 30th April and at ‘leisure’ hotels until 20th December 2025. It is only valid at participating hotels and you must be signed in to MeliaRewards to see the offer.
