What to Expect From Travel Tuesday in 2023

Travel Tuesday, also known as Travel Deal Tuesday, is the day after Cyber Monday. It serves as an opportunity for travel companies to offer up discounts on hotels, cruises, flights, and more. Consumers can expect to find more travel deals on this day compared to Thanksgiving, Black Friday, or Cyber Monday.

Travel Tuesday could have double the deals on flights, hotels, and cruises that Cyber Monday does.

The holiday started in 2017, but it still hasn't quite reached the heights that Black Friday and Cyber Monday have. Even so, more travel companies seem to be embracing it each year.

Travel Tuesday is the day after Cyber Monday; that means the holiday falls on November 28 this year. We may see early deals pop up the day before, but for the most part, the relevant offers will likely only be available on Travel Tuesday itself.

Travel Deal Tuesday in 2022 had a whopping 78% more travel deals than Cyber Monday and twice as many as Black Friday, according to travel-app company Hopper. Additionally, Hopper noted that deals popped up at an average rate of 20 deals per second last year. Standout offers included savings of over 60% off trips to Lisbon, London, Los Angeles, Puerto Rico, and other destinations.

Tips for Shopping Travel Tuesday in 2023

If you haven't already signed up for email newsletters from your favorite travel companies and online agencies, consider doing so ahead of Travel Tuesday. When these companies are getting ready to roll out sales, the odds are good that email subscribers will be the first to know. In some cases, subscribers may even get early access to the sales, so they're able to jump on and take advantage before the deals all sell out.

Have multiple travel dates in mind before you take advantage of a promotion, in case your first choice falls within a blackout period.

Speaking of selling out, definitely be prepared to jump online as soon as sales start. Like deals on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, the offers on Travel Tuesday can sell out in the blink of an eye. And often companies can only provide a certain amount of savings, so don't wait too long. If you see a deal that fits your budget and needs, you better jump on it ASAP!

Online travel agencies like Booking.com and Expedia can make booking travel easier, but you shouldn't restrict your deal-browsing to only those sites. Check out any direct travel providers you like to use just in case. For instance, if you prefer specific hotel chains, airlines, or cruise companies, check their sites on Travel Deal Tuesday to see if they're offering any of their own sales. JetBlue, Hawaiian Airlines, and Marriott are just a few of the airlines and hotel chains that had deals last Travel Tuesday.

Reading the fine print has always been important, but it's even more so now. You should be aware of any cancellation policies and procedures, should an issue come up and you're unable to keep your booking. Many companies have stopped being lenient with their cancellation policies as the global pandemic emergency has ended, so it's important to know what your options are if you have to cancel your trip.

There's no doubt you can find excellent travel deals on Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Travel Tuesday, but they often come with baggage (no pun intended). That is, they tend to have blackout dates you have to watch out for. So it's a good idea to have multiple travel ranges in mind before you take advantage of a promotion. That way, if your first choice falls within the blackout period, you can try to adjust your plans and still get a great deal.
