When you think of Black Friday, you probably think of discount TVs, maybe a half-price pair of boots – but what about a flight to New York?
Katy Maclure has worked for Jack’s Flight Club for almost three years, where she spends her days researching cheap flights and finding deals. She now edits The Detour (their weekly travel newsletter) and she’s given Money the inside scoop on Black Friday flights…
“I think we can expect something from the big brands – big names like Virgin, and BA,” she tells Money – as both have just set their sales live.
“They are prime examples of airlines that love a sale, and they always go head to head, which is quite nice as they cover a lot of the same routes.”
When Money looked this lunchtime, BA was offering flights for as little as £39 to places like Barcelona and Nice, discounted city breaks and up to £300 off holidays between now and next October – as long as you book by 2 December.
Virgin Atlantic is promising savings of up to £200 per booking – its blurb says: “Book by Monday 2 December and save £25 off per person plus, save a further £100 off when you spend a minimum £3,500 per couple, or £4,400 per family of four.”
“We are already seeing deals coming up and they are as good as they have ever been,” says Katy.
