United Airlines has kept its 2025 offers under wraps, but historically, we’ve seen great Cyber Week deals on flights — including award flights starting at 12,000 MileagePlus miles one-way. So keep an eye on United’s site as Black Friday and Cyber Monday approach.
Aer Lingus
Aer Lingus’s Black Friday deals have already arrived, with affordable flights from North America to over 30 European cities starting at just $348 round-trip for travel between Jan. 6 and May 25, 2026.

Best Black Friday hotel deals
Plenty of hotel programs are getting in on the Black Friday fever. Here are a few highlights, but check out our full list of Black Friday hotel deals.
You’ll need to book directly with the hotel to take advantage of these deals, so consider booking with a cobranded hotel credit card to earn extra points and access elite benefits. And don’t forget to check for other ways to save, like Chase Offers and Amex Offers.

Best Black Friday booking site deals
Whether you’re not loyal to any one hotel program or you’re eyeing a unique independent property, you can still score a great deal on your next stay. Plus, some of the booking sites below are running Black Friday sales not just on hotels, but also on flights, rental cars, attractions and more.

Best Black Friday general travel deals
Small-group tours
Escorted group tours are a great way to save money, see far-flung destinations and meet new people along the way. Here are a couple of our favorite operators’ Black Friday sales.
Intrepid: This Black Friday, you can save up to 20% on hundreds of small-group trips in late 2025 and throughout 2026. For example, an 11-day hike, bike and kayak tour of Vietnam is on sale for $1,456 (regular price $1,820).
Book by Dec. 4, 2025.
Globus: Black Friday deals include up to $1,000 off per couple on select tours and 30% savings on select Globus Escapes Europe tours.
Book your trip by Dec. 10, 2025.
Award search tools
There are many sites and apps out there to help you find the best award flight deals and simplify the process of redeeming your points and miles — and they often charge a fee to get the most out of them. Thankfully, several of the best award search tools are on sale for Black Friday.
Expert Flyer: This tool (owned by TPG’s parent company, Red Ventures) is offering 30% off a premium yearly plan with code “BLACKFRIDAY30,” but TPG readers can save even more with code “TPG40” for a 40% discount. Since premium plans cost $99.99 per year, you can get one for just $60 with the TPG code.
Purchase your Expert Flyer plan by Nov. 28, 2025.
Roame.travel: This Black Friday, first-time users of this tool to find flight award space can score a 40% discount on eligible paid plans with code “SALE40.”
Purchase your subscription by Dec. 1, 2025.
Flight deal alert memberships
Another handy tool is flight deal alert services, which notify you of rock-bottom prices and mistake fares, allowing you to jump on them before they are snapped up. Again, there’s usually a free version, but you can get far more from the paid plans.
Going: Going’s paid plans include both cash fares and award flights. This Black Friday, you can save on a Premium or Elite membership as follows: 20% off one-year plans, 30% off three-year plans and 40% off five-year plans. Plus, you can get the same discounts on Going gift cards.
Sign up for Premium or Elite by Dec. 2, 2025, or purchase a gift card through Dec. 31, 2025.
The best credit cards for Black Friday travel deals
Which credit card should you use for your purchase? That depends.
For flights and stays, we’d recommend using a card that earns bonus points on airfare and hotel purchases, such as:
For independent hotels, cruises, booking platforms, small-group tours and other general travel purchases, consider one of the best cards for general travel. For instance, the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card (see rates and fees) earns 2 points per dollar spent on travel.
For purchases that may not code as travel, such as award search tools and flight deal alert memberships, your best bet will be a card that earns bonus rewards on everyday purchases. For example, the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card and Capital One Venture Rewards Credit Card earn 2 miles per dollar spent on every purchase.
