Today is a great day to enjoy big deals on air travel
Black Friday is finally here and travellers looking to get away for less are already searching for cheap flights from the UK.
Previous years have seen the likes of British Airways, easyJet and Ryanair coming in strong with big discounts available on or before the big day. This year we have seen much of the same, but new deals are still dropping as holidaymakers continue to prioritise travel.
We’ve rounded up some of the very best Black Friday flight sales you can book today. Remember though, with Cyber Monday and Travel Tuesday still to come, prices could still fall even further.

Here’s what the big airlines are offering for Black Friday 2024.
TUI
TUI has once again launched its deals a few days ahead of Black Friday and bargain-hungry sunseekers are snapping up heavily reduced seat prices to over 70 destinations worldwide.
Passengers can enjoy a 10% discount on all return flights from January 2025 to April 2026. This extended booking window makes it easy to plan ahead.
Deals include Tenerife return from £80, Alicante from £90 and Oslo from £100. There is also up to £300 off of selected package holidays.
Virgin Atlantic
Offering package deals to some of the world’s top destinations including Orlando, New York, LA and the Caribbean, Virgin Atlantic gave passengers £20 off economy and premium seats and £100 on upper-class flights in their last Black Friday deals.
This year we would expect to see discounts on deals to the Caribbean, as well as reduced price seats to popular US cities, as well as India, Cancun and other far-flung destinations. Passengers should keep their eyes peeled though as last year Virgin Atlantic reduced some premium economy flights a few days after the sale first launched.
EasyJet
Budget airline easyJet is once again offering cheap as chips flights in their Black Friday extravaganza.
There are thousands of cheap seats starting from just £14.99 one way. Destinations include Paris, Amsterdam, Tenerife, Alicante and Faro.
EasyJet is also offering up to £200 off package holidays departing before October 2026.
Jet2
Budget airline Jet2 had lots of different deals to choose from including 20% off all flights this winter and 15% off all summer flights. Customers must sign for a free myJet2 account to enjoy the biggest deals.
There are some cracking deals available including summer flights to Menorca and Ibiza from just £42 and super cheap Winter flights such as Geneva from just £25 one way.
They are also offering myjet2 customers £100 off per person, with up to £400 off for groups of four.
British Airways
Once again, the British flag carrier has slashed ticket prices in their Black Friday sale. With hundreds of seat prices starting from £35, this is a big deal.
Some of the best we have found so far include Barcelona from £35, Nice from £35 and Munich from £51. The airline is also offering city breaks from £169 per person and deposits starting from as little as £25.
Bookings made in the British Airways Black Friday sale were also able to qualify for the long-running DOUBLE BA tier points offer, subject to terms and conditions.
Ryanair
The budget airline is once again offering its “buy one, get one half price” deal on selected European flights. Already offering low-cost seats to a wide range of destinations, passengers are clambering to take part in the limited-time Ryanair deal.
The deal includes popular spots in Turkey, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Portugal, Latvia, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Croatia, Slovakia, Morocco, Lithuania, Netherlands, Hungary, Estonia and Finland – with fares starting as low as €24.99.
