The best Black Friday travel deals of 2022

It’s that time of year again: time to peruse the expansive slate of Black Friday travel deals to plan your next adventure.
Whether you want to embark on a river cruise to Machu Picchu or need to upgrade your suitcase, we’ve got you covered on the top sales from airlines, luggage companies, hotels, and more across the globe. Black Friday is no longer a one-day shopping bonanza followed by Cyber Monday online deals. The weeks leading up to these consumer holidays are now part of the fun, with new sales popping up almost every day. It’s a great time to book your Christmas flight (make sure you’re up to date on which day is the worst to fly) or next year’s vacation.
While some brands have already revealed their plans for Black Friday travel deals — or started offering early discounts — this list will most certainly grow as we get closer to Cyber Week. (One major retailer even announced an entirely new way to pay this holiday season!)
Here are the best Black Friday travel deals we know so far:
