Frequent Flyers: Don’t Overlook These Travel Tuesday Offers on Flights, Hotels, and Cruises

Although Black Friday and Cyber Monday are filled with enticing travel discounts, Travel Deal Tuesday has emerged as one of the prime days for snagging great travel bargains, as noted by the flight booking platform Hopper.

Hopper's analysis of pricing trends over the last ten years reveals that the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, known as Travel Tuesday, occurring on November 28 this year, boasts the highest number of deals during the holiday sales period, which spans from Black Friday through Cyber Week and into early December.

What accounts for the surge in travel offers? Economist Hayley Berg from Hopper shared that demand for travel typically drops at the end of November and early December, as many have finalized their holiday plans but haven't begun booking for the next year. To entice travelers, companies offer appealing deals.

Here are the Travel Tuesday offers that have been introduced this year.
