Whether you're planning a local COVID-safe trip or are dreaming up an adventure for 2021, Black Friday travel deals have arrived. With discounted hotels, slashed tours, and reduced airfare, there are plenty of ways to tickle your wanderlust on a budget.
While COVID has changed the face of travel (and in some places paused it), where it's safe to do so, one can still make flexible plans using flexible cancellation policies. Of course if you are considering going anywhere, use common sense and adhere to all COVID related travel advisories and restrictions. If that means that right now you can only explore the world via Netflix travel series, then get that bowl of popcorn ready and stay put. Health is always more important!
What to expect this year? Savings of up to 60% on flights, hotels, tour, transport, travel products, and more. Without further ado, here is our 6th annual round-up ALL the best Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Travel Tuesday travel deals. Happy deal hunting!
Psst: We'll be updating this post live as new deals fly in, so don't forget to keep checking back.
Cancellation and rebooking protection
You might be wondering whether making travel reservations is worth the risk amidst the COVID situation. Fortunately many companies are offering free flexible cancellation and rebooking policies. G Adventures for instance is offering free cancellation or booking changes for up to 14 days before your tour date. Qatar Airways is allowing unlimited booking changes for up to two years.
Be sure to check modification policies before making any reservations. For general information on travel insurance amidst COVID, check Skyscanner's comprehensive guide here.
