How to Get the Best Black Friday Flight Specials

No complicated tricks required. Just a little preparation.

1. Check your dates. Some Black Friday flight deals only apply to selected travel periods. A day or two of flexibility could make a difference.

2. Compare the full fare. That cheap ticket looks less impressive when you realise checked baggage costs extra.

3. Don’t assume every flight is discounted. Airlines may limit specials to certain routes, dates or seats.

4. Move when you find the right deal. Discounted seats can sell out, and prices may change before the sale ends.
