Black Friday travel deals are almost here: everything you need to know about Travel Tuesday

Travel Tuesday is to travel what Black Friday is to electronics. Airlines, hotels and other travel-related businesses offer deals and discounts during this 24-hour period. Although not as popular as other shopping days like Small Business Saturday or Black Friday, Travel Tuesday, which falls on December 3 this year, has been steadily gaining traction.

How it all started

Travel Tuesday started with Hopperan app that tracks airline prices over time and alerts users of the best times to buy. Hopper has spearheaded this trend by offering deep travel discounts, prompting others in the industry to follow suit. This year, Hopper is offering discounts of up to 30% on hotels in destinations including Paris, San Diego, Bali and Sydney.

Hotel deals will be available

Several platforms and hotel chains are offering attractive offers this Travel Tuesday:

Expedia: Customers will find discounts of up to 30% on hotels and up to 15% on rental cars. To access these offers, users must sign up for a free membership or be an existing member. Note that not all rental cars are included in the sale, so it’s worth checking availability for your next trip.
Hotels.com: Offering the same 30% hotel discount as Expedia, travelers must book by December 4, 2025 and travel by December 15, 2024, a relatively narrow window of flexibility.
Vrbo: This platform, also owned by Expedia, offers discounts on private vacation homes in destinations like Gatlinburg, Tennessee; Orlando, Florida; and Breckenridge, CO. Longer stays can benefit from discounts of up to 20%.
Hilton: Although not exclusive to Travel Tuesday, Hilton is offering 20% off stays of two nights or more when booked at least seven days in advance. This promotion runs during the holidays, with reservations required by January 5, 2025 for stays through April 21, 2025.
