Cyber Monday and Black Friday UK: Best travel deals 2018
From British Airways to Air New Zealand, there are great deals on flights this year
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Black Friday and Cyber Monday might be almost over, but you can still get a great deal on flights and holidays. You just need to know where to look.
To save you time, we've gathered together some of the best discounts by airline, wherever you'd like to go.
Last year, the travel industry offered up a host of strong discounts, including a deal from Thomas Cook which gave customers £200 off every holiday.
Air New Zealand offered £375 discounts on return flights to LA, while Expedia gave 50 per cent off selected hotels and British Airways had an array of low-priced trips across Europe, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Seychelles.
