How I Find and Check These Travel Deals

I travel regularly alongside a full-time 9–5 job, so I’m always looking for ways to make my money and annual leave go further.

But there’s something I’ve learned after years of booking my own trips: a big discount doesn’t always mean a good deal.

When I’m deciding which Black Friday and Travel Tuesday offers to share, I look beyond the headline saving.

I check the company’s published offer details, including booking deadlines, eligible travel dates and any restrictions. I pay particular attention to flights from Dublin, Belfast and other UK airports, because a brilliant deal isn’t much use if getting to the departure airport costs more than the flight itself.

I also look at the total cost. That means considering luggage, airport transfers, hotel extras and cancellation conditions, rather than focusing entirely on the advertised price.

And because I plan my own trips around work, I always consider how many days of annual leave a deal might require.

A £50 return flight that lets you get away after work on Friday could be far more useful than a £30 flight that requires taking two extra days off.

The deals tracker combines confirmed promotions, upcoming sales and selected ongoing travel offers. I’ll identify which is which, update the listings as information changes and remove expired promotions.

Unless I’ve independently checked comparable prices, advertised discounts should be treated as the travel company’s claim rather than proof of a saving against its previous lowest price.

My aim is simple: help you find travel offers that are genuinely worth investigating, not just the ones with the biggest discount banners.

Black Friday Travel Deals 2026: What’s Already Live?

You don’t need to wait until Travel Tuesday on 1 December to start booking discounted travel.

Some major holiday companies launched their Black Friday 2026 sales as early as October, and more offers are expected throughout November.

Here are two confirmed promotions available as of 9 November 2026:

Jet2 Black Friday 2026 Sale

Jet2 launched its Black Friday sale on 29 October, offering up to 20% off flights and £100 per person off Jet2holidays bookings.

The sale includes flights from UK airports, including Belfast International, with holidays available across multiple future travel seasons.

Check the latest eligible routes, prices and booking terms in the tracker above.

easyJet holidays Black Friday 2026 Sale

easyJet holidays has launched its Black Friday promotion with savings of up to £400 on eligible package holidaysusing the code BLKFRIDAY.

The discount depends on the total booking value, starting at £50 off bookings of £500 or more, and reaching £400 off bookings of £4,000 or more.

The offer is scheduled to end at 11pm on 1 December 2026 and covers eligible holidays departing before 31 October 2028.

More airlines, hotels and holiday companies are expected to announce their own promotions as Black Friday and Travel Tuesday approach.

Remember: The biggest advertised discount isn’t necessarily the best deal. Compare the total holiday price before you book.

When Is Travel Tuesday 2026?

Travel Tuesday 2026 takes place on Tuesday 1 December 2026.

Here are the important dates for this year’s travel sales:

EventDate
Black Friday 2026Friday 27 November
Cyber Monday 2026Monday 30 November
Travel Tuesday 2026Tuesday 1 December

Although Travel Tuesday officially falls on 1 December, many companies run promotions across the whole Black Friday and Cyber Week period.

Some start weeks earlier, while others hold back particular offers until the final few days.

My advice? Start comparing prices now, rather than assuming everything will be cheaper on Travel Tuesday itself.

What Is Travel Tuesday?

Travel Tuesday is a shopping event focused on discounted travel, taking place on the Tuesday after Cyber Monday.

While Black Friday covers everything from televisions to trainers, Travel Tuesday focuses on travel experiences, including flights, hotels, holidays and activities.

It’s become another opportunity for airlines, booking websites and travel brands to promote discounted trips, often for travel during the following year.

But here’s something worth knowing if you’re booking from the UK or Ireland: Black Friday and Travel Tuesday aren’t always separate sales.

Many travel companies run one extended promotion covering both events. That’s why I’m tracking offers throughout November instead of only concentrating on 1 December.

Best Travel Tuesday 2026 Deals for UK & Ireland Travellers

The internet will be full of travel promotions over the coming weeks, but not all of them will be relevant if you’re booking from Ireland or the UK.

A fantastic flight deal from New York isn’t much use when you’re trying to get away from Belfast for a long weekend!

Here are the types of offers I’m particularly interested in.

Cheap Flights from Belfast, Dublin & UK Airports

I’ll be watching for discounted return flights, particularly from Belfast, Dublin and other major UK airports.

It’s worth comparing departure airports, especially if you’re flexible enough to travel a little further for a better fare.

But remember to factor in the cost of getting there, parking or accommodation if you’re flying from an airport further from home.

A cheaper ticket isn’t necessarily a cheaper trip.

Travel Tuesday Hotel Deals

Hotel discounts can be just as valuable as cheap flights, particularly for city breaks.

I’ll be looking out for deals from hotel groups and booking platforms, including discounted room rates, breakfast-inclusive stays and flexible booking offers.

If you’ve already got flights booked for 2027, this could be a good opportunity to see whether your accommodation is available for less.

Just make sure you’re comparing the same room type and cancellation conditions before jumping on a sale price.

Black Friday Package Holiday Deals

Package holidays are another category worth checking.

Companies such as Jet2holidays and easyJet holidays have already launched their Black Friday sales, and there may be more offers to come.

Packages can be worth comparing with booking flights and accommodation separately, especially when luggage or transfers are included.

City Breaks & Weekend Getaways

This is one of my favourite categories to look for.

If you work Monday to Friday, a well-timed flight can turn an ordinary weekend into a brilliant city break without using much annual leave.

I’ll be keeping an eye out for deals that work particularly well for long weekends, short breaks and travelling around a full-time job.

After all, a £40 return flight is great. A £40 return flight that doesn’t require three days off work is even better.

Is Travel Tuesday Better Than Black Friday for Booking Holidays?

Not necessarily!

One of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming that because a sale has a special name, the prices must be the lowest they’ll ever be.

Some airlines and holiday companies launch their discounts during Black Friday and keep the same offers running through Cyber Monday and Travel Tuesday.

Others might announce additional promotions or change their prices during the sale period.

There’s no guarantee that waiting until 1 December will result in a better deal.

If you’ve found a flight or hotel at a price you’re happy with, and you’ve compared it against other available options, it could already be worth booking.

I wouldn’t risk losing a genuinely good fare just because another sale day is coming.

Can You Really Save Money on Travel Tuesday?

Absolutely, although it pays to compare prices.

Last year, while I was searching for Travel Tuesday deals to share on Irish Travel Addict, I came across return flights from Dublin to Shanghai with Finnair for £607 per person.

Shanghai skyline and illuminated buildings along the Bund at night
Shanghai in April 2026. We booked our £607 return Finnair flights from Dublin after finding the fare during Travel Tuesday 2025.

We hadn’t necessarily planned to book that trip, but the price caught our attention. We took a day to think about it, checked whether it worked for us and eventually booked.

That’s the kind of opportunity I love finding.

Not every travel deal needs to involve an enormous discount percentage. Sometimes the best bargains are the trips that suddenly become affordable when you weren’t expecting them to be.

And that’s exactly why I want to keep this tracker running throughout the sales.

How to Find a Genuine Travel Tuesday Deal

Before booking anything during Black Friday or Travel Tuesday, there are a few things I always recommend checking.

1. Compare the Final Price

A £29 flight can look fantastic until you realise the airport yo are landing at is 100 miles away from where you need to be with no public transport and before you’ve added luggage, seats and everything else you need.

Compare the total cost of the trip, not just the advertised fare.

2. Check Your Travel Dates

Some of the biggest discounts only apply to specific dates or quieter travel periods.

If you need to travel around weekends, bank holidays or school holidays, check that the offer actually covers your preferred dates.

3. Look at Your Annual Leave

This is a big one for me. A flight might be cheap, but if the schedule means taking additional days off work, it isn’t always the best option. Try looking for Friday evening departures, Sunday returns or a Monday off that gives you an extra day away.

A little planning can turn a fairly ordinary deal into a great short break.

You can use my free Annual Leave Maximiser to discover how to turn 20 days of annual leave into 52 days of leave or more.

4. Check Cancellation and Booking Conditions

Cheap rates can sometimes come with stricter terms.

Before paying, check whether your booking is refundable, whether dates can be changed and what happens if your plans change.

5. Don’t Book Just Because There’s a Sale

Probably the most important one!

A massive discount isn’t much use if you’re booking somewhere you don’t really want to visit.

Set a budget, keep a few destinations in mind and compare prices before committing.

The goal isn’t to book the most holidays during Black Friday. It’s to get the best value from the trips you actually want to take.

How I Turned a Public Holiday Into a Gran Canaria Getaway

Finding cheap flights is one thing. Making those flights work around a full-time job is where a little planning can make all the difference.

When I visited Gran Canaria, I planned the trip around St Patrick’s Day, combining the public holiday with the weekend to enjoy a longer break without using lots of annual leave.

Barranco de las Vacas sandstone canyon in Gran Canaria
After using my Annual Leave Maximiser to find the perfect dates to travel to Gran Canaria, we hired a car when we arrived and drove straight to Barranco de las Vacas to explore the beautiful canyon.

That’s exactly the thinking behind my Annual Leave Maximiser. I look at the calendar first, find opportunities to link weekends with public holidays, and then see which destinations and flights work around those dates.

It’s something worth trying before booking your Black Friday or Travel Tuesday deals, especially if you want to travel more frequently in 2027.

I’ve created a free 2027 Annual Leave Maximiser to help you find those opportunities for yourself.

A good deal doesn’t always mean the cheapest flight. Sometimes it’s the trip that gives you the most time away for the least annual leave.

A web page titled "Make your annual leave work harder" designed to help users maximize their holiday time in 2027.   
The page is split into two sections:
Left side (Inputs): Options to select a location, with "Ireland" chosen. Below, numerical input boxes show 25 bookable days, 0 already booked, and 3 kept in reserve.   
Right side (Results): A summary box titled "Ireland: your 2027 game plan". Stat boxes show 21 leave days used, 49 calendar days off, 6 breaks unlocked, and 1 day still free. Text below notes a 2.33x return on leave days, followed by a list of suggested trip timings.
A screenshot of my Annual Leave Maximiser tool. Free to use for anyone living in the UK or ireland. This screenshot shows how someone living in Ireland with 25 days of annual leave can turn their 25 days into 49 days off over 6 breaks during 2027.

My 9–5 Travel Trilemma: Is This Deal Actually Worth Booking?

I use something I call my 9–5 Travel Trilemma when planning trips.

Most travel decisions come down to three things: the destination you want to visit, the amount you’re willing to spend and how much annual leave you can use.

Finding a cheap flight is only part of the equation.

Sometimes the cheapest destination isn’t somewhere you particularly want to visit. Sometimes a more expensive flight saves you two days of annual leave. And occasionally, everything lines up beautifully.

Before booking a Black Friday travel deal, think about which of those three things matters most to you.

I’ve even created a free 9–5 Travel Trilemma calculator to help you work out your priorities before committing to a trip.
