Our Favorite Deals Happening for Travel Tuesday

This year, Travel Tuesday is giving Black Friday and Cyber Monday a run for their money. What started as the low-key sibling in the classic holiday sales has now bubbled up into a full-blown phenomenon. McKinsey is reporting big upticks in consumer interest on this new shopping holiday. It seems we’re collectively less interested in a quick Add to Cart and more interested in meaningful vacations.

Can you blame us? After years of big Black Friday spending, staycations, and convincing ourselves that backyard camping counts as an exotic escape, we’re all ready to trade Zoom backgrounds of tropical beaches for the real thing. Whether it’s a snowy cabin retreat, a Mediterranean cruise, or finally ticking Bali off your bucket list, Travel Tuesday is the golden ticket to making it happen without annihilating your savings account.

But here’s the thing: Scoring those deals requires a little savvy. Airlines, hotels, and travel companies are all rolling out their best offers, but the average consumer might not stumble into them the way they do on Black Friday. So we did the looking for you. Grab your coffee, clear your schedule, and let’s dive into how you can snag the best prices and start planning your next great escape. It’s travel season, and the deals are calling.
