Best flight and holiday deals for Cyber Monday 2022: Offers on travel from Jet2, BA, Railcard and more

Calling all passengers: Black Friday and Cyber Monday travel deals have landed.

The annual shopping bonanza is days away, and just like years past, the event is offering discounts across the board on every imaginable product, from mattresses to makeup, air fryers to Apple products.

And, as well as physical products, the mega sale now extends to a host of services and experiences.

What is Black Friday?

Sometime in the 70s, American retailers began throwing post-Thanksgiving sales, using the fact families were together by offering deep discounts. The idea sailed across the Atlantic, because while we may not celebrate Thanksgiving on these shores, bargain-hunting is a universally cherished thing.

When is Black Friday 2022?

The sale is always on the last Friday of November - this year that’s November 25. However with stiff competition, many retailers launch early sales with offers available as early as November 1.

When is Cyber Monday 2022?

Black Friday may have started out as a single-day affair but it’s now a weekend long event with Cyber Monday bringing things to a close. This year it’s on November 28 and is considered the designated day to scoop discounts on all things tech.

While you can get a headstart on New Year’s resolutions with a cut-price gym membership, save on a new broadband package, or treat yourself to a luxury spa day for less, the deals that are really making us stop and stare are the travel ones.

How to keep up to date with the best Black Friday deals

Whether you’re aching to see the sunrise in a new time zone or fancy checking into a chic B&B in the UK, there are plenty of Black Friday travel offers that will have you reaching for your credit card. We’ll keep you tuned into the best of them right here on this page (bookmarking is wise) and on our Live Blog.
