Black Friday USA airline sales 2026 - what to expect
Akasha Loucks
Over the past few years, airlines have been dropping sales left, right, and center as that pandemic hangover has worn off and travel numbers have soared to pre-2020 levels and beyond. 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 Canada right here or the UK and Europe 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 only going to run down the stuff that’s actually gonna give you the best bang for your buck. Airlines love to advertise “sales” with mediocre fares. We aren’t afraid to call it how we see it, so we won't include any of the meh stuff below.
It’s important to note that even though we’re super awesome at finding our members great deals, we aren’t fortune-tellers. The predictions we’ve made about 2026's Black Friday and Cyber Monday flight deals are based on past trends, with a pinch of our flight expertise thrown in.
Since the price of jet fuel has remained stubbornly high all year, it’s likely that prices might be a smidge higher across the board than a few years back. But we’re keeping our fingers and toes crossed that 2026 will be another year of (good) surprises!

Quick Reference
Southwest Airlines
Free bags, open seating, and a generous change policy once made Southwest our favorite “no-frills” airline, hands down. But a lot has changed over the past two years, and they've recently embraced the same cost-cutting methods used by other low-cost carriers, and more or less becoming just like every other US airline. Nevertheless, the sales have stayed solid!
Their Black Friday discounts has traditionally offered domestic trips under $100 RT, but anything goes with the new Southwest.
Through the years
2019: Domestic trips all over the continental U.S. at $78 RT.
2020: No BF sale, but they did have a Christmas/New Year’s sale for non-stop domestic flights all at $78 round trip, and Hawaii at $198 round trip.
2021: Cyber Monday sale for domestic trips across the continental U.S. at $78 RT.
2022: Cyber Monday sale across the continental U.S. starting at $90 RT.
2023: Cyber Monday sale for 30% off, with flights as low as the $60s RT.
2024: Cyber Monday sale for up to 30% off base fares, as low as $98 RT.
2025: Cyber Monday sale for 50% off base fares, as low as $64 RT.
What we expect in 2026
Southwest has ignored Black Friday in favor of Cyber Monday for the last five years now, and we expect that to continue. But hey, as long as the sales are good, it's all the same to us!
After five straight years of stellar sales from Southwest, our expectations are pretty high. It's possible that their recent cost-cutting trend will collide with the fuel spike and become an excuse to skimp out on discounts, but we're pretty hopeful that won't be the case. One thing's for sure, they'll definitely be the first place we look for domestic flights in 2026.
United Airlines
United will get you from A to B and beyond, with more frills than a budget airline (but still no carry-on on their lowest domestic fares).
We really love that they fly to some harder-to-reach places like India, Tahiti, and Japan, and in the distant past, they’ve thrown us a bone with heavy discounts on these routes.
In the last couple of years, they’ve focused more on short-haul destinations across the USA. But as they pursue a strategy of gradual international growth, we might see more faraway routes popping up in the future.
Through the years
2019: Tokyo and Osaka with bags included in the low-$500s from Boston and Washington, D.C.
2020: No BF sale, but they did have an unannounced summer sale across the country at $149 round trip, departing from the East & West Coasts.
2021: Non-stop flights to Hawaii and Cancun at $198 round trip. They also had a summer sale to Europe all under $480 round trip to places like Poland, Italy, Czechia, and Greece.
2022: No BF sale at all! Star Alliance partner Air Canada had a few good prices/sales but nothing from United.
2023: Non-stops to the US and Caribbean in the $80s-$360s RT. Also had a few decent Europe fares, but nothing to write home about.
2024: No BF sale, unless you have miles on one of their Chase credit cards.
2025: No real sale, just another credit card discount, plus some hotel packages.
What we expect in 2026
Welp, there's no beating around the bush: United has disappointed us for two years now. Rather than releasing an actual sale, they've been offering minor discounts on select flights and packages that only work with a branded credit card. Lame.
We're always open to being surprised, but we're not holding out too much hope with this one. If you're a United superfan with an airline credit card and tons of points, you might get lucky and snatch a decent deal. Otherwise, don't hold your breath.
Delta Air Lines
We were so excited to welcome Delta to this list in 2022! Skytrax’s best North American airline finally gave us something to look at, even if it wasn’t too spectacular. Sure, they double-crossed us in 2023, but they did come back with an... okay sale in 2024.
Delta’s prices do skew a bit higher than other US airlines, but they make up for it with an insane level of service. We’re talking about a commitment to free wifi across all their planes, seat-back entertainment screens on even the shortest of routes, and a generous route network.
So here’s hoping they'll try a little harder with their sales this year.
Through the Years
2019: No BF sale
2020: No BF sale
2021: No BF sale
2022: Domestic and Caribbean routes in $90s-$370s RT, including LA to Austin and Boston to Buffalo at $90 RT.
2023: No BF sale, just discounts on vacation packages.
2024: Cyber Monday sale with a handful of domestic and international routes starting at $117 RT.
2025: Small Cyber Monday sale with mostly domestic routes starting at $97 RT, but the prices weren't anything special.
What we expect in 2026
I mean, they did run a sale again in 2025, so they're kind of on an upward trajectory. Now we just need them to take the next step and run a really good sale.
Delta is one of the best airlines out there, so it's always worth checking for discounts. But we don't have especially high expectations, especially since the US carriers have been so stingy with sales lately.
American Airlines
We had high expectations for American Airlines last year, after they surprised us with some killer discounts in 2024. Unfortunately, the results were... meh.
As the world’s biggest airline with the most robust network, American dropping a BF sale at all is always good to see. We'd just hoped for something a little more flashy and a little less blah.
When they do offer sales, they typically focus on short-haul domestic routes. But American has an enormous international network with flights all over the globe, so there's always the chance for some top-tier fares to the rest of the world too.
Through the Years
2019: No BF sale
2020: No BF sale
2021: No BF sale
2022: Domestic and Caribbean destinations in $90s-$330s RT, including New York to San Juan at $138 RT non-stop
2023: No proper BF sale, but some points deals on Cyber Monday.
2024: A bunch of promo fares, including Caribbean deals starting at $149 RT and domestics starting at $56 RT.
2025: Domestic fares in $90s-$250s RT, plus some so-so international routes.
What we expect in 2026
We expect American to drop some kind of sale, but we're not getting our hopes up too high this time around. Most likely, we'll see more domestic fares in that "solid deal but nothing to brag about" range.
But who knows! They might choose to leverage their global network and surprise us with some great international ones too. They've done a little Euro expansion this year, with new routes to spots like Iceland and Vienna, and we'd be over the moon to see those get the Black Friday treatment.
Turkish Airlines
If you’re hoping to get to some of the world’s rarest destinations, Turkish Airlines is your best bet, since they fly to more countries than any other airline out there. And they’ll never let you forget it.
Turkish's Black Friday decisions are tough to pin down. We hadn’t seen much sale action from them until 2021, when, out of the blue, they jumped on the bandwagon. Then they went quiet in 2022 with no sale at all, and repeated that move again in 2023. And again in 2024.
And then, suddenly... a sale!
Through the years
2019: No BF sale.
2020: No BF sale.
2021: Sale across Europe, Africa, Middle East in $400s-$670s, with checked bags. Including Malta at $483 and Egypt at $579.
2022: No BF sale.
2023: No BF sale.
2024: No BF sale.
2025: Sales to Asia, the Middle East, and Africa in $500s-$900s RT
What we expect in 2026
After three sale-less years, we didn't expect much from Turkish, but we couldn't be happier to be proven this wrong! They really flexed their unique network and whipped out a ton of routes to far-flung destinations, including smaller cities in Egypt, Central Asian fan faves like Uzbekistan, and rare gems like Sri Lanka and Jordan.
Out of nowhere, Turkish has set a pretty high bar for themselves. We'd like to think this'll be their new normal, but with a history like theirs, it's hard to say. Travel disruptions in the Middle East might also limit their offerings.
We'll definitely be keeping a close eye on them this year to see if they toss us any more neat routes, but we won't be shocked either way. We refuse to get burned again!
Avianca
Avianca regularly comes out in blazing glory with huge price cuts all across Central & South America, despite rarely ever announcing a sale. Over here in cheap flight land, we feel like we see a new drop from them every single day, and we just have to keep letting our members know about them.
When they finally drop their BF sales, they’re usually a little timid in comparison. Their recent events offered some solid economy-class discounts, but nothing earth-shattering. So we were a little shocked when they dropped one of the best sales of 2025! Great job, Avianca!
Through the years
2019: 40% off all flights to Central and South America.
2020: No BF sale.
2021: Central & South America in $100s-$410s round trip, including Bogotá from Washington, D.C. at $184 and non-stop to San Salvador at $132 from New York.
2022: Central & South America in $200s-$400s round trip, including non-stops from Houston to El Salvador at $242 and New York to Guatemala at $280.
2023: 30% off business class the week before BF, but no proper sale.
2024: Up to 50% off flights to Central & South America, including Bogotá non-stop at $223 RT and Lima at $307 RT.
2025: Up to 55% off flights all over Central & South America, including Bolivia at $449 RT and Montevideo at $511 RT.
What we expect in 2026
Avianca has been fairly consistent with their Black Friday sales, but they defied our prediction last year with some terrific discounts on routes all over Latin America, particularly around their home base in Colombia. That was one slice of humble pie we were very happy to eat.
Of course, a single data point does not a trend make, so we're not going to just assume Avianca will be that cool again this year. But we're cautiously optimistic - definitely give their sale page a look when Black Friday rolls around.
Frontier Airlines
Frontier is a domestic budget airline, so we never really expect much out of them. Flying with them can be a little, well, miserable, and it’s not usually worth covering the sales they have.
However, last year's Cyber Monday sale took us completely by surprise! It was so good we just had to overlook Frontier's eye-rolling baggage policies and add them to this article, and we begged them not to make us regret it.
Sure enough, the old dog came through. We rounded up a sizeable pile of dirt-cheap domestics, and not just the usual <1 hour hops. Deals included Newark to Orlando at $40 RT, Seattle to Phoenix at $53 RT, and double-digit non-stops to Vegas from almost every departure we cover.
Well played, Frontier. Well played.
Through the years
2024: 100% off base fares for Black Friday, a ton of domestic fares in $30s-$50s for Cyber Monday.
2025: Non-stop domestics starting at $40 RT, including 4+ hour routes.
What we expect in 2026
Ever since Spirit joined the Spirit realm, Frontier has lost its primary competitor. It's totally possible that they'll start getting cocky and add "Black Friday sales" to their pile of budget cuts.
That said, after two excellent sales back-to-back, we're still cautiously optimistic. While their longer domestics have been cracking that $100 RT barrier an awful lot since the fuel spike, they've continued to offer their classic super short hops at basement prices.
So in spite of it all, Frontier just might go for the three-peat. Since their standard prices are so cheap, all we really want to see is a rerun of last year: longer trips for the same low price.
Alaska Airlines
Alaska has settled into their merger with Hawaiian Airlines and solidified themselves as the premier carrier for the western US. They've also been doing some expansion, with new routes to far-flung spots like Rome, London, and Seoul.
An Alaska Black Friday sale is almost a certainty - they absolutely love doling out discounted fares across their domestic and regional routes every holiday season.
Through the years
2019: Domestic flights at $89 RT, with main cabin tickets at $109 RT.
2020: Domestic and selected Central America (including Belize, Costa Rica, and Mexico).
2021: Hawaii at $158 RT, and Mexico in $250s.
2022: Domestic cross-country flights in $180s-$190s
2023: Domestics for $80s-$190s RT, including SFO-EWR for $138!
2024: 30% off fares to and from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada & California for BF. More domestic & LatAm deals on Cyber Monday, starting at $39 one-way.
2025: Mainland US routes under $100 RT, with Mexico, Alaska, and Hawaii all under $300 RT.
What we expect in 2026
Alaska is one of the most consistent US airlines when it comes to Black Friday sales, so we're expecting the same from them yet again. We're sure to see more really terrific discounts on domestic routes – they're the queen of those smaller western airports like Bozeman and Palm Springs, and that tends to come out during sale season.
Domestic deals are a surefire bet and an appearance from Mexico seems likely, but our fingers are crossed that they'll drop some true long haul discounts. After their Asian expansion in 2025, it could be time to include those new routes in a sale. Maybe this'll be the year for an insane Tokyo deal?

Norse Atlantic Airways
Norse Atlantic has revived the long-haul, low-cost, point-to-point model, and they’re trying their hardest to finally make it work. Door-busting sales, Super Bowl ads, and playing off the name recognition of the no-longer-stateside Norwegian Airlines, they made quite the splash in their first few years of operation.
Unfortunately, as Europeans lose interest in visiting the US, Norse has struggled to maintain their transatlantic routes. In fact, they've now cut down to a single US route: Orlando to London, mostly to ferry British tourists to Disney World and back.
This may wind up being Norse's last year in this article, but you never know - they might make a comeback. Stranger things have happened!
Through the years
2022: New York, LA, and Fort Lauderdale to Berlin and Oslo non-stop in $270s-$380s RT
2023: No BF sale.
2024: A handful of discounted fares to Europe, starting in the $300s RT.
2025: No BF sale.
What we expect in 2026
We'll be honest - we don't expect to see anything from Norse Atlantic this year. There just doesn't seem to be much of a market for ultra-low-budget transatlantic flights (rest in peace, PLAY Airlines), and Norse has learned that the hard way.
But hey, they've still got that one US route! And if they want to fill those seats, Black Friday would be a great time to do it. So if you live in Orlando and want to take a cheap flight to London in the near future, watch this space.
SAS Airlines
Unsurprisingly, Scandinavian Airlines has focused on, well, Scandinavian destinations in their past sales, usually in the mid-to-high $300s from the East Coast and the mid-$400s from the West. But they've been expanding their network lately, gradually spreading throughout Central Europe and adding new intercontinental routes as well.
SAS loves to come alive outside the typical Black Friday period - they usually drop the majority of their routes in October for spring trips to Scandinavia, France, Germany, Poland, and Italy with similar prices to Black Friday.
Through the years
2019: Scandinavia, Finland, and other European countries at $349 RT.
2020: No Black Friday sale, but they did run a small New Year’s sale from Chicago and New York to Scandinavia in the high $300s.
2021: Scandinavia in $360s RT from Chicago.
2022: Sweden & Norway starting at $358 RT
2023: $360s-$490s RT all around Europe and beyond! Highlights included New York to Mallorca for $389 RT and DC to Morocco at $387 RT.
2024: Discounted economy fares around Scandinavia and Northern Europe in the $360s-$490s, plus a bunch of premium economy ones in the $680s-$990s.
2025: All over Scandinavia and Northern Europe in the $340s-$490s.
What we expect in 2026
SAS hasn't been quite as sale-happy as usual this year, but they've still been dropping sweet discounts on European flights. If you're a Jack's subscriber, you've definitely been seeing those bundles on the reg. Combine that with their top-tier Black Friday in 2025, and you've got all the ingredients for a blockbuster sale.
They've flirted with some Asian and North African destinations in the past, but SAS has stuck firmly with Northern Europe for their last couple Black Friday sales, and we expect that to continue. If you've been considering a trip to Longyearbyen or Riga, you know where to look this November.
Icelandair
Icelandair and Black Friday go together like flies and fly swatters (stick with us here). Sure, they might not be the easiest to pin down, but when they do make contact, there’s some sweet karmic retribution. And by that, we mean round-trip flights to Europe under $400 RT. Make sense?
Though it’s been a while since the joys of their 2020 sale, their more recent ones have still put a smile on our faces (or a fly out of the room, metaphorically speaking). And while their 2023 and 2024 offerings were pretty subpar, they bounced back with a very solid 2025.
Through the years
2019: No Black Friday sale.
2020: Huge sale across Europe, including the UK, Ireland, Switzerland, and Scandinavia under $510 round trip.
2021: Iceland, Scandinavia, Netherlands, and France under $390 round trip from Orlando and Seattle.
2022: Europe on discount, with highlights including DC to Paris & NYC to Helsinki at $367 RT.
2023: Some solid fares to Iceland ($320s-$360s RT) but no official BF sale.
2024: Discounted flights to Europe, including Iceland at $349 RT, Copenhagen at $424 RT, and Amsterdam at $437 RT.
2025: Flights to Europe in the $390s-$580s, plus some business-class fares to Iceland in the $990s-$1490s.
What we expect in 2026
Icelandair bounced back in a big way last Black Friday, and they've kept that momentum going through 2026. Notably, they were one of the first European carriers to drop fares back down after the Iran snafu sent jet fuel prices to the moon, and they've put out a pretty steady stream of sales over the summer.
Last year, Icelandair went for an "Aurora Friday" sale about a week and a half before Black Friday proper, so we'll be checking early again this year. We're hoping for cheap fares all over mainland Europe, but if all else fails, we know they'll at least offer some terrific prices on flights to Reykjavík. And that's not such a bad consolation prize.
Aer Lingus
We’ve gotta give it to Aer Lingus for sticking with their Black Friday deals through thick and thin, especially when other airlines threw in the towel once COVID sunk its teeth into the travel world.
They haven’t all been jaw-dropping discounts, but a sale’s a sale and we’re not gonna complain too much. Their BF offerings have been steadily declining after peaking with 2021's epic entry, but it's never too late for them to reverse that trend.
They cover the typical routes across Europe, but if there’s one thing that sets them apart is the handy security preclearance in Dublin.
Through the years
2019: $100 off economy class flights or $200 off business class flights on transatlantic flights from the USA/Canada to Europe.
2020: All of Europe under $590 round trip with a checked bag. Including the Isle of Man at $533 and Switzerland at $463.
2021: Up to $300 off round-trip flights across Europe for West Coast and up to $200 off flights from the rest of the US.
2022: $100 off economy and $200 off business class flights across Europe, with non-stops to Dublin being the big star in the $350s-$450s RT.
2023: Some solid fares to Ireland, but no mainland Europe.
2024: Discounted fares to Europe starting at $449 RT, mostly to Ireland but a handful of continental cities like Rome and Amsterdam as well.
2025: Flights to Ireland, the UK, and Europe in the $390s-$670s RT, but nothing that grabbed our attention.
What we expect in 2026
Aer Lingus has been pretty quiet this year, sale-wise. That doesn't exactly inspire optimism, especially when you consider their woeful Black Friday deals of late. We haven't even been seeing many decent fares to Ireland from them recently - formerly their bread and butter.
If Aer Lingus does decide to make a splash in November, they'll almost certainly take the crown for cheap fares to the Emerald Isle. They usually have some solid prices on flights to the UK too, while the rest of Europe winds up being a little hit or miss.
Copa Airlines
Copa Airlines has been dipping its toe into the Black Friday pond recently, first with a focus on the Caribbean and Central America in 2020 (special shoutout for Nicaragua coverage, a rarity these days!), followed up a year later with our least favorite type of sale—air miles.
In 2023, they dropped the bar even lower by offering no sale at all. Whomp whomp. 2024 saw some surprisingly decent fares from the southern US, followed by a deeply average Black Friday event in 2025. So... mixed bag.
In general, the airline isn’t fond of announced sales—we haven’t seen a summer or New Year’s sale from them in recent years, either. But they are fond of competing with Avianca and actually offering a carry-on (so novel) so we might be in for a surprise.
Through the years
2019: No Black Friday sale.
2020: Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and Honduras under $300 round trip.
2021: 40% discount on ConnectMiles when you buy 3,000 or more.
2022: A sale so dull we didn’t even cover it, not even with quick fares to Panama. The best prices were focused on regional flights in South America, which didn’t help us a ton.
2023: No BF sale.
2024: Discounted routes from Florida & Atlanta, including Colombia in the $220s RT and Aruba at $252 RT.
2025: Flights all over Latin America and the Caribbean in $210s-$490s RT.
What we expect in 2026
COPA's Black Friday sales have been letting us down for years at this point. But they do seem to be trending upwards, even if that just means going from "no sale" to "bad sale" to "okay sale."
They've been pretty quiet on the discount front in 2026, but we expect another decent Black Friday from them all the same. COPA is still the best airline around for trips to Latin America from the US, and with European fares getting increasingly expensive, skipping BF altogether would be a missed opportunity.
TAP Air Portugal
Well, well, well, TAP certainly loves a blanket discount. Unsurprisingly, they have become a little more conservative with that price slashing as they've privatized, but considering TAP’s prices are on the cheaper side of things anyway, they still offer a pretty good deal to basically everywhere in Europe.
While that 2020 Black Friday sale got us really excited - we got Agadir on the coast of Morocco and places as far away as Cape Town for the same price as a nice non-stop fare to Italy or the UK - that’s probably a thing of the past. TAP’s focus has narrowed in the years since, and 2025's sale was restricted to continental Europe, eschewing their usual North African routes.
Through the years
2019: No BF Sale, but they did run a sale in February of the same year, offering 50% off all routes.
2020: East coast to Ibiza, South Africa, Croatia, and Morocco under $480 round trip.
2021: 20% discount on all routes.
2022: Flights across Europe, with a focus on Spain. Best prices in the $250s-$260s, including New York to Malaga at $261
2023: Pre-Black Friday drops with decent fares around the Mediterranean in $370s-$490s RT.
2024: Pre-BF drop with discounted fares all over Europe and North Africa in $320s-$540s, including London at $376 RT and Marrakesh at $485 RT(!).
2025: Standard Black Friday sale with flights to Central and Western Europe in $350s-$540s.
What we expect in 2026
Honestly, TAP is TAP. They've been crushing Black Friday for years, and we expect to see more of the same this year. That means cheap fares to mainland Europe, especially Spain, Portugal, and France. SAS may have been making a play for American wallets this year, but TAP remains the undisputed champ of three-letter, low-cost European travel.
Our pie-in-the-sky hope? The return of TAP's African network to the BF proceedings, including sale fares to places like Angola, Cape Verde, and Senegal. It's unlikely, especially since Morocco was disinvited from last year's party, but you never know!
Cathay Pacific
Wow, Cathay Pacific’s 2019 Black Friday sale was absolutely insane! The number of hard-to-reach and rare destinations across all corners of Southeast Asia is just impossible for our post-pandemic minds to compute.
They finally came back in 2022, welcoming Asia’s reopening with deals from all over the West Coast. Taipei, Jakarta, Manila, Osaka & Hong Kong at $690 RT? It might not be pre-pandemic doorbusters, but that’s pretty good for fares we basically only see in the $1000s nowadays.
Unfortunately, Americans got left out of 2023’s sale, but Cathay returned with two terrific offerings in 2024 and 2025. I mean, NYC to Sri Lanka for $714 RT? Kathmandu at $610 RT??? That's the good stuff right there.
Through the years
2019: South East Asia under $620 round trip, including Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand and Taiwan.
2020: No BF sale.
2021: 50% off a second ticket when two people fly together, 25% off on three or more tickets, and a contribution to offset your carbon emissions.
2022: Deals to Southeast Asia from LA & SF under $700 RT, including Hong Kong, Indonesia and Japan.
2023: BF sale only active for the UK.
2024: Flights to Asia starting at $649 RT.
2025: Flights all over Asia in $650s-$730s.
What we expect in 2026
Cathay Pacific has been pretty hit-or-miss on the Black Friday front, but after two straight US sales (good ones, too!), we're more comfortable putting them on the Definitely Check This Out list. Don't let us down now, Cathay!
We've been seeing a ton of cheap flights to Asia all through 2026, and that trend probably continues through Black Friday. Everything is lining up for a truly killer sale from Cathay Pacific, most likely focused on their usual favorite cities: New York, Chicago, and all the West Coast hubs.
Condor
Welcome to the article, Condor!
Remember what we said about there not being a market for budget flights across the Atlantic? Condor is the exception. These guys have been offering cheap fares to Central Europe for years now, and while their baggage fees get a little absurd, they're a great option for anyone who doesn't mind packing light.
Condor only flies out of a handful of US cities, including New York, Boston, Los Angeles, and... Anchorage (???), and their sales are usually even more limited. 2025's Black Friday sale had some great fares, but only from New York. We'd love to see them expand those discounts in the future.
Through the years
2025: Flights to Central Europe from JFK in $360s-$400s
What we expect in 2026
I mean, probably some more cheap flights to Central Europe. New York will almost definitely get some, Boston will probably be in there too, but it's anyone's guess which other departures will make the cut. We did notice that Condor is debuting a new connection between Frankfurt and Chicago in early 2027, so the Windy City could be added to the list soon.
Our hope for 2026? More premium economy discounts! Condor's prem eco fares are usually a solid bargain, and we'd sure love to see them drop the prices even further for Black Friday this year.
Other Airlines
Wait… what about KLM, Air France, Lufthansa, Qatar and countless other airlines out there?
Well, it doesn’t mean they don’t do Black Friday sales, just that we haven’t seen them produce anything that’s truly deal-worthy for the U.S. market, in our expert opinion. You might find them on our other article that explains airline sales.
We only share sales that are truly decent. That means good value and historically low prices when compared against all of their competitors.
So if there’s an airline you like to fly with, it’s always going to be worth checking for a sale on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Just because we haven’t listed it here, it doesn’t mean they don’t have some discounts.
We would always recommend checking the price of a flight you’re interested in a week or two before sale time, so you know exactly how much they’ve actually discounted it on the day. Airlines like to get creative with how they advertise their prices sometimes.
Conclusion
You’re now ready for the big day - you now know the history and our predictions for every airline we’ve seen in Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales from the US.
We’ll keep this article up to date, so you can bookmark it and use it year after year as a handy sale season money-saving guidebook.
Of course, if you want to know about the sales as they happen, you should sign up for Jack’s Flight Club if you aren’t already a member. Finding cheap flights (all year round) is kinda our thing :-)
