Booking your next trip on Black Friday offers travel-savvy pricing on airfare and hotel stays.

Black Friday is still in effect, and though the occasion usually calls on us to shop for discounted gifts and gadgets, there are also ways to save on travel with special deals on flights, hotels, car rentals, and the like.

Sites like Expedia, Hotels.com, CruiseCritic, and more are running promos when you schedule a trip with them today, so if you’re already planning an escape from the winter doldrums, we’ve rounded up a guide to popular sites you can book and save with. 

Pro tip: If you’re planning a flight, it’s worth noting that you should avoid leaving on a Saturday, as this tends to be the most expensive day to fly. Leaving on a Wednesday and returning on a Thursday is likely the least busy and least costly window for air travel. For helpful tips on savvy traveling, read more cheap flight hacks from a frequent traveler.
