Best Black Friday Travel Deals 2023: Vacations, Hotels, Flights, and Gifts
Updated: Nov 27
I have always followed along with Black Friday, but I’ve gone from getting up super early to snatch deals to searching online for the very best deals. I am a deals queen, using sites like TravelZoo and Google Flights to help me out. Every year, I search the internet so you don’t have to! There are so many out there this year for travelers, so I wanted to create this quick list of the best Black Friday vacation deals for travelers.
In recent years, Black Friday travel deals have expanded to encompass longer periods of time to help you grab deals throughout the week leading up to Thanksgiving and after! With all the travel deals and gifts out there, it's a great time to start planning ahead and grab a deal to save you some money on travel, whether as a gift or for yourself.
