When is Travel Tuesday?
Travel Tuesday is Dec. 3, 2024.
What is Travel Tuesday?
Travel Tuesday is a national shopping event where travelers can find more deals on airfare and hotels than other days, including Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
The online booking company Hopper is credited with starting the trend in 2017, but it has since exploded in popularity.
The site indicates that on Travel Tuesday last year there were 83% more flight deals than Cyber Monday and 91% more than Black Friday.
The holidays, specifically Thanksgiving, are among the year’s busiest travel days. However, CheapOair explained that online travel agencies offer Travel Tuesday deals to attract travelers since demand falls after Thanksgiving as travel peaks.
