Travel Tuesday (November 25, 2025) is a special shopping day when many travel companies give discounts for one day. Airlines, hotels and travel websites announce short offers after Cyber Monday. The goal is to help customers find cheaper trips and to compare different prices. Experts confirm that some offers can look good but may still have rules, such as blackout dates or extra fees. They also say that prices can increase quickly during the holiday season.
Travel experts remind people to read the details carefully. They say checking the fine print can help customers prepare for any extra costs. Travel Tuesday started because data showed many people booked trips right after Cyber Monday. Today, more companies use this day to encourage early travel planning.
