The 40 Best Black Friday Travel Deals You Shouldn’t Miss (2025 Edition)
Last Updated on November 28, 2025
Black Friday isn’t just about tech gadgets. I believe it’s one of the best moments of the year to save money on future trips. Save money on flights, accommodation, tours, travel insurance, eSIMs, photo books, travel gear, sustainable brands, and more (without buying things you don’t need).
If you know me, you know I’m not a fan of buying lots of new stuff. I prefer second-hand whenever possible and I travel pretty minimalistic. But I do love a good deal, especially when it’s something I truly need for my trips, or something that saves me money in the long run. So, here’s a list of 40 must-know Black Friday travel deals for 2025, categorized to make your planning easier. Enjoy!

***********************************************************@Tips for Getting the Best Deal and Avoiding Fake Sales
- Always compare prices from before Black Friday (tools like price-history trackers or simply checking old prices). Some sellers inflate prices before discounting, which means the “sale” isn’t real.
- If you see urgency (“only 2 left”, “last hour”, etc.), check carefully. Sometimes that’s marketing pressure.
- For accommodations and flights: check multiple platforms, and double-check cancellation policies.
- Know what you actually need.
- For eSIMs: make sure your phone supports them and that you understand when activation and expiration apply (some eSIM deals allow activation up to a year after purchase).
- Don’t buy “just because it’s cheap.”
- For tours/activities: always read reviews.
- For tech/cameras: last year’s model is often just as good.
- For travel insurance: choose a plan that matches your travel style.

– Hostelworld
One of the best platforms for budget travelers and backpackers. Hostelworld’s 2025 Black Friday sale is live, with discounts for stays that run up to 55% off for selected hostels. If you’re looking for a cheap bed (in a dorm), this is prime time to lock in a deal for spring or early-summer travel.

– Skyscanner
Although Skyscanner doesn’t sell flights itself, its Black Friday period usually highlights airline promotions of 25–35% off, plus flash deals from hotel and car rental partners. It’s especially handy if your travel dates are flexible. 😉
Many airlines like TUI, KLM, Jet2, Ryanair, EasyJet, Cathay Pacific, Virgin Atlantic, Qatar Airways, Loganair and Air Transat also run their own Black Friday sales. Still, I like to start my search on Skyscanner to get a clear overview of the cheapest travel periods before checking individual airlines.

Personally, I’m not the biggest fan of cruising due to the environmental impact these ships can have. Still, for those who do enjoy cruising or are looking for a good offer, this is definitely one to know about 😉

If you travel often, this is a nice moment to lock in coverage for your 2026 adventures and beyond.
