When it comes to Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, some travelers have one main question on their minds: Do airlines have Black Friday deals? Why yes, yes they do. And we are here to share the best airfare offers we have spied.
Just because it’s a deal doesn’t mean we don’t have standards. That’s why we were particularly excited when we found out that some of the world’s best airlines were rolling out Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotions this year.
Take $100 off JetBlue round-trip fares
For two days only, you can save $100 on round-trip fares per person on JetBlue flights. To nab these savings, use the promo code “CYBER” when booking directly through jetblue.com between November 29 and 30, 2021. Using that code, we were able to find a $248 round-trip fare from New York (JFK) to San Francisco with nonstop (and non red-eye!) flights over Martin Luther King Jr. Day weekend in 2022.
This offer is only valid on nonstop flights only and doesn’t apply to transatlantic flights or previous bookings. A minimum spend of $100 on each one-way segment (excluding taxes and fees) is required.
