$39 Airline Tickets & Other Amazing Travel Tuesday Deals

If you thought you already did all of the discounted vacation shopping that you could this holiday season, you'll be pleasantly surprised to learn that Travel Tuesday is a a thing and the savings have only just begun. Maybe you got a new luggage set or passport holder from a department store on Black Friday, and some new resort threads online for Cyber Monday, but the best Travel Tuesday deals will make a dent where it really counts: with airfare and hotels. Of course it's nice to save on travel essentials and accessories, but the biggest travel expense is usually the actual travel part, so saving on flights can be the difference between a vacation that sets you back and a vacation that you can actually enjoy.

According to Molly Fergus, vice president and general manager of TripSavvy, Travel Tuesday is the result of a few trends in the travel world. "Historically, after the Thanksgiving travel frenzy, airlines have discounted flights to convince procrastinators to make winter travel plans," she says. "Secondly, Tuesday is frequently considered the cheapest day to purchase airline flights."

Together these two facts contributed to the genesis of the holiday in 2017, and since then, momentum has caught on and more deals have been offered. Aka, Fergus says, "it's a great day to snag travel deals." Here are some of the best deals to check out this Travel Tuesday, especially if you're planning on getting out of town for the holidays.
