UPDATE: Nov. 21, 2023, 1:00 p.m. EST This post is updated weekly with the latest travel deals on flights, cruises, theme parks, and more.
There's no arguing that Black Friday isn't generally all about physical, tangible stuff. But if you're the type who would rather spend money on an experience, just know that Black Friday is actually a great time to book a trip.
Black Friday travel deals are very much a thing, from discounts at resorts, airlines, and cruise lines, to even-better-than-usual deals at online travel agencies like Priceline and Expedia, to major sales on luggage, packing cubes, and more. We're tracking them all below and will include information like booking deadlines when available.
Flights
Why we like it
The cold weather version of Frontier's internet-breaking summer pass unlocks unlimited flights to both domestic and international Frontier destinations between Sept. 2 and Feb. 29, 2024, for a one-time fee of $299. Frontier serves more than 100 airports across the U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean, and Latin America, with new locations frequently being added to the lineup. This is cheaper than even the summer pass' debut price of $399 and its long-term sale price of $499.
Frontier also dropped a monthly pass that's free for the first month (aside from a $49 enrollment fee) and renews for $149 monthly after that. Your unlimited monthly pass begins the day you purchase it and runs for 30 days each period. Be sure to read the fine print before snagging any of the tickets.

Trains, cruises, and rental cars
Why we like it

The Bahamas, Grand Cayman, Saint Kitts, Italy, Greece, France, Spain, and more Caribbean and European destinations are all options, and depending on the itinerary, you can sail for as long as 13 nights or take a quick three-night getaway.

Theme park deals
Why we like it
Vacation doesn't feel like vacation when you're trying to cram a theme park's full glory into a few short days. You can add three full days at Universal to your trip for free when you purchase tickets for two days (as long as they're all consecutive). That's five days for the price of two, so you can really take your time between Universal and Islands of Adventure — or even devote a whole day to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. You'd still have to buy separate tickets (starting at $84.99) to Halloween Horror Nights, but the money you're saving with this deal basically secures those for free.

Through Dec. 31, you can save between 15% and 20% on stays three nights or longer at a ton of stylish participating Kimpton locations across the U.S.
