Black Friday isn’t just about tech gadgets and electronics. It’s also a great opportunity to save money on future travels! From flights and accommodation to tours, travel insurance, eSIMs, travel gear and photo books, there are plenty of ways to make your next adventure more affordable (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 minimalistically. But I do love a good deal, especially when it’s something I genuinely need for my trips or something that saves me money in the long run.
So, I’ve gathered some of the best Black Friday travel deals for 2026 to help you find some interesting savings. I’ve also included a few companies to keep an eye on as more promotions are announced.
Let’s make those 2026 & 2027 travel plans a little more budget-friendly! 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.
Accommodation
– Hostelworld
Hostelworld is one of my favourite platforms for budget traveling. It offers hostels around the world, making it easy to find affordable accommodation and meet fellow travellers.
Keep an eye on its Black Friday promotions for discounts on selected hostel stays. The 2026 offer is still to be confirmed.
– Expedia
Expedia is another platform worth checking when booking accommodation. Its 2026 Black Friday campaign advertises discounts of up to 50% on selected hotels. Members can also access additional Member Prices and selected free-cancellation options.
– Booking.com
Booking.com’s Black Friday deals cover a broad range of accommodations: hotels, apartments, villas, holiday homes and more. In 2025, they’re offering up to 40% discount on select stays. Even car rentals, airport transfers and some flights are included this year, so if you’re planning a full trip, it could be worth combining everything when you book. Check its Black Friday deals page for the latest offers.
– Hotels.com
Hotels.com is another platform to compare when looking for hotel deals. Check its member prices and promotional offers during the Black Friday period. Specific 2026 Black Friday discounts are still to be confirmed.
– Hilton, Mariott & Hard Rock Hotels
If you prefer staying in hotels, don’t forget to check the official websites of international hotel chains such as Hilton, Marriott and Hard Rock Hotels. They often run seasonal promotions and member-exclusive offers.
Their specific 2026 Black Friday promotions are still to be confirmed.
Transportation
– Skyscanner
Although Skyscanner doesn’t sell flights itself, it’s one of my favourite tools for comparing flight prices. I especially like it when my travel dates and destination are flexible.
Many airlines launch special promotions around Black Friday. Check airlines such as KLM, Lufthansa, easyJet, Ryanair, Qatar Airways, TUI and British Airways directly as well.
My advice? Start with Skyscanner to compare different dates and routes, then check the airline’s own website before booking.

– Priority Pass
Lounge network Priority Pass usually offers a 30% discount on standard memberships.
– No.1 Lounges
No.1 Lounges’ Black Friday offer is usually 25% off adult lounge access. If you want adult access during the summer, you usually can get 15% off.
– Discover Cars
Planning a road trip? DiscoverCars is a useful comparison platform for rental cars worldwide. You can compare different rental companies, vehicle types and insurance options in one place. Save up to 70% on selected rentals until Nov 30!
– Norwegian Cruise Line and Holland America Line
- Norwegian Cruise Line is usally offering up to 50% off cruises.
- Holland America Line is usually offering up to 30% off cruise fares, 50% reduced deposits and free or reduced third and fourth guests when traveling in the same stateroom.
- Princess Cruises, MSC Cruises, Royal Caribbean, and Virgin Voyages also offer several Black Friday Deals.
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 😉
– 12GoAsia
Another top transport platform for transportation, mostly in Asia, is 12GoAsia. Black Friday usually brings discounts on train tickets, ferries and buses. Ideal if you’re planning a trip for example to Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia or the Philippines. Check for seasonal promotions and special ticket offers during Black Friday.
Travel insurance
– Heymondo
Travel insurance isn’t necessarily the most exciting part of planning a trip, but it’s something I wouldn’t skip. Heymondo offers travel insurance for different types of travellers, including single trips and longer journeys.
If you’re planning several trips in 2027, Black Friday might be a good moment to compare its annual and long-stay insurance options.
Its 2026 Black Friday discount is still to be confirmed. Always compare coverage, exclusions and policy limits rather than choosing insurance based on the discount alone.
Stay connected anywhere: eSIM / data / connectivity
– NordVPN / Nord Account
When traveling, I like to be careful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks. A VPN can add an extra layer of privacy and security when browsing on unfamiliar networks.
NordVPN’s 2026 Black Friday offer includes up to 78% off a two-year subscription, plus three extra months. The promotion is advertised until December 9, 2026.
– Holafly , Airalo & Saily
A fantastic choice for staying connected abroad without roaming fees:
- Holafly: Keep an eye on its Black Friday page for 2026 promotions. Last year’s offer included three eSIMs for the price of two, but this year’s promotion has not yet been confirmed.
- Airalo: Airalo is another popular eSIM provider. It offers prepaid data packages for destinations around the world, making it easy to stay connected without changing your physical SIM card. New customers currently have access to a 15% promotional offer using code NEWTOAIRALO15. This is a currently listed new-customer offer, not a confirmed Black Friday-specific discount.
- Saily: Saily is another eSIM service worth comparing. It offers international data plans in more than 200 destinations. A 5% Black Friday offer is currently listed with code blackfriday5. Check the conditions and compare the final price with other providers before purchasing.

Budget tip
Traveling to a country with a different currency? Avoid ATM transaction fees and pay in local currency with a Wise Visa Card or Revolut Maestro Card. I have been using these cards for several years and have saved a lot of money as a result. I recommend bringing both bank cards with you when you travel.
Conclusion
Black Friday 2026 is a great opportunity to prepare for your next adventure and potentially save money on travel essentials, accommodation, tours, insurance and connectivity.
My biggest tip? Don’t let discounts convince you to spend money on things you don’t need. Compare prices, read the conditions and focus on purchases that will genuinely make your travels easier or more affordable.
