Follow these top tips to ensure that you never miss out on the very best deals
- Activate price alerts using a dedicated website like Skyscanner to monitor flight prices. The website will email you notifications when prices fall.
- Sign up for email subscriptions with your preferred airlines and travel companies. By signing up, you can expect promo codes and deals to drop into your inbox all year round.
- Compare deals before you commit to buying. Offers are usually based on demand and availability which means some companies may be able to offer the same flight or holiday for less.
- Stay flexible. If you are able to move your dates of travel a few days on either side or even look at other resorts or destinations, chances are you will bag the biggest bargains on Black Friday. Prices can also vary depending on which UK airport you fly from, so if you can travel further from home you could save even more.
