As a seasoned traveler, you’ll never catch me at the airport gate without a comfy pair of New Balance shoes, my Sonos Ace noise-canceling headphones — and most importantly — a hefty travel deal in my back pocket. For this reason, since the advent of Travel Tuesday, the post-Cyber Monday sales event offering discounts on flights, hotels, and vacation packages, I’ve learned to scour the internet for the best travel savings, always reading the details and fine print along the way.
And while Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Travel Tuesday deals have been in good supply in previous years, 2024 is a completely different game — there are so many travel savings out there this season on cruises, flights, hotels, and more. With such an unprecedented number of travel deals to choose from, I’ve put together a cheat sheet of the 47 biggest ones to help you find the best value and put your hard-earned cash towards all kinds of hotels and villas, airfare, cruises, vacation packages, car rentals, and more.
