Today is ‘Travel Deal Tuesday,’ apparently, and it’s a good day to save on flights
Black Friday is over and so is Cyber Monday. But there’s still one more deals holiday left, apparently, and it’s called Travel Deal Tuesday. Popularized by travel app Hopper, Travel Deal Tuesday is supposedly the best day of the year to save on flights.
Instead of offering deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, airlines tend to sell more tickets during the pocket of time when travelers have finished getting home after the Thanksgiving holiday but aren’t yet buying Christmas tickets. According to Hopper, the app tends to spot the most deals on this day in 2016 and 2017. Last year, it sent 1.1 million deal notifications to users on that day, almost 50 percent more than average.
The best time to snipe flight deals today is from 6:30AM ET to 9:30AM ET, according to Hopper. Another way to ensure you’ll be on top of the cheapest flight prices is to sign up for notifications to monitor prices.
Some of the airlines that Hopper has already highlighted include Hawaiian Airlines offering deals on nonstop flights to South Korea and Japan, Cathay Pacific offering deals to Hong Kong and Beijing from the US, and Avianca offering flights to Brazil, Peru, and Costa Rica. Other cities like Paris, London, and Barcelona are also available on discounted flights.
It should be noted that it’s sometimes difficult to cancel and get refunds on flights purchased through Hopper, and Hopper’s customer service can’t directly help with certain issues that are overseen by airline support. So only buy flights you’re really sure about and don’t get caught in the deal mania. Below we’ve highlighted some top deals, with prices subject to slight variation.
