Travel Tuesday is part of the sales season during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday period and is the Tuesday following Thanksgiving Day (November 28), when airlines around the world offer very tempting discounts on domestic and international travel.
Travel Tuesday started in 2016, and despite the short time since it was established, it is already a tradition whilst being the most highly anticipated day for those who love to travel.

Discounts start almost as early as the first minute on Tuesday, but some experts say the prime time for the best online deals starts at 06:30 ET on Tuesday, peaking at 09:30 ET.
However, some experts point out that the deals being offered on Black Friday and Cyber Monday could come ahead of Travel Tuesday, so if you want to be the first to catch some deals you should register your emails with travel provider sites, or the airlines themselves, to receive the best discounts.
In spite of the offers that started last week, you can usually find the best discounts until Tuesday, both in domestic and international flights, as well as in hotel reservations and tour packages.
Among the tips from insiders, it is said that in the first minutes of Tuesday you will be able to find offers of 10% off, but as the hours go by, the offers can reach up to 30% off.
Why do we have Travel Tuesday?
The reason why this day was created is because the demand for travel usually drops after Thanksgiving, since all those who travel for the pre-Christmas holidays have already planned and booked their trips for vacation.
On Travel Tuesday, the best deals from airlines and hotel companies appear on their respective websites, where you can take advantage of the best deals to travel anywhere in the world.
