Black Friday is the original shopping holiday of the season. And while most people spend the day out shopping in brick-and-mortar stores—even in 2023—plenty of others will be seeking out their deals from the comfort of their screens. If you are hoping to spend less money this year on stuff, and more on experiences, you aren’t alone. According to one study, 92% of young people would prefer receiving an experience like travel or a concert over other physical gifts this year.
Anticipate Black Friday being a busy shopping day, no matter what you’re buying. According to data shared with Thrillist from Getida.com, consumers plan to spend an average of $1,430 on gifts, travel, and entertainment, with demographic groups Gen Z and millennials planning to spend the same or more during the holidays.
For those who want to gift travel, plan 2024 vacations, or simply take advantage of some really great travel deals, Thrillist has compiled a list of the top Black Friday travel deals for hotels, flights, tours, cruises, and car rentals below.
