In the last year and a half, airlines have been dropping sales left, right, and center as that pandemic hangover has worn off and travel numbers are boosting back to pre-2020 levels. But, are these sales actually worth it?

In this article, we’ve rounded up the best Black Friday deals from the most popular airlines we’ve seen in the past, to shed some light on what you can expect from this year’s sales.

We’re focusing on US-based carriers and sales in this article, but we also have a rundown of what you can expect from the UK and Ireland over here. Aren’t we so kind?

Round-trip flights to Europe under $300, Tahiti at $644 including a checked bag, and five-star flights to Osaka at $690 only scratched the surface of deals we found from across the country. 

We’re also only going to run down the stuff that’s actually gonna give you the best bang for your buck. Airlines love to advertise “sales”, but with mediocre fares. We aren’t afraid to call a spade a spade, so you won’t see any of that stuff below.
