Travel Tuesday 2026 deals: save on flights and hotels
Travel Tuesday 2026 falls on Tuesday, December 1, 2026, the Tuesday after Black Friday and Cyber Monday. eDreams will launch Travel Tuesday deals early in the app on Thursday, November 19, 2026, with all other platforms (mobile and desktop) going live from Friday, November 20, 2026. All deals run through Travel Tuesday itself.
If you've been waiting for the right moment to book your next trip, this is it. Travel Tuesday has become one of the biggest travel sales events of the year, and 2026 is shaping up to be no different. According to Hopper, the travel app that popularized the concept back in 2017, Travel Tuesday typically sees more flight deals than Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined.
The timing works in your favor. Airlines and travel providers are motivated to move inventory during this period because demand naturally dips after Thanksgiving. That creates a window where you can lock in flights for January through May at lower prices than you'd find most other times of year. eDreams releases deals in the app first, a full day before the website goes live on November 20.
Everything you need to know before you book
Where to find Travel Tuesday deals on eDreams
Download the eDreams app before the Travel Tuesday sale starts. Deals go live on November 19, a full day ahead of the eDreams website, giving you early access to the full range of discounts. All deals run through December 1. Once you’re in, use the search filters to browse across dates. Shifting your travel window by a day or two often uncovers a better fare, so set up a price alert and book when the price drops to your target.
From November 20, all deals are live on the eDreams website too. The Travel Tuesday offers are easy to spot on the homepage, and if you’re searching for a specific route, sort results by price to see the discounted fares rise to the top.
What to check before booking a Travel Tuesday deal
The discount you see in a headline isn't always the discount you pay. Many Travel Tuesday promotions apply to the base fare, which means taxes, carrier-imposed fees, and add-ons like checked bags are charged separately. A $50 one-way fare can look very different once you add a suitcase.
Check the travel window too. Most Travel Tuesday deals are valid for travel between January and May of the following year. Blackout dates are common, especially around school holidays. Cancellation and change policies vary by airline and fare type, and budget carriers often have stricter rules. If your plans might shift, look for fares with flexible rebooking options or consider travel insurance.
Extra savings for eDreams Prime members
If you’re already an eDreams Prime member, you’re in a good position. Prime members receive exclusive discounts that stack on top of the Travel Tuesday sale prices, meaning the savings you see advertised aren’t the ceiling; they’re the starting point. Those benefits apply across flights, hotels, and car rentals, so the more of the trip you book through eDreams, the more the discounts add up. If you’re not a member yet, it’s worth checking whether the subscription pays for itself on this trip.
The case for booking on Travel Tuesday
Travel Tuesday has a consistent track record. Hopper, which monitors billions of flight prices daily, has documented multiple consecutive years where the Tuesday after Thanksgiving outperformed both Black Friday and Cyber Monday for the volume of deals and average savings available. The pattern has held across flights, hotels, and car rentals.
For 2026, eDreams is extending the window. Deals go live in the app on November 19, nearly two weeks before Travel Tuesday itself on December 1. Flights for January through May tend to carry the steepest discounts, and routes to popular leisure destinations are among the first to move. If a January break in Miami or a spring weekend in Las Vegas is on your radar, this is a smart moment to lock in the fare.
