Airlines
NEW!
Air Berlin
Germany’s Oneworld carrier Air Berlin is offering phenomenal fares to Europe from several of its US gateways. You must book by December 1 to take advantage of fares starting at $499 round-trip. Travel dates vary by origin — Travel from Boston and Dallas is available between May 6 and May 31 or August 24 through October 31, 2016. Flights from and to San Francisco may depart between May 6 and June 15 or August 24 through October 31, 2016. If you’re flying from Chicago, Miami or New York, meanwhile, you can travel between January 4 and March 27, 2016.
Cathay Pacific
Offer: Although no details have been announced yet, it’s rumored that Cathy will discount transatlantic flights and flights to Asia. Start Date: November 27.
Air New Zealand
Air New Zealand is offering £199 return flights from London Heathrow to Los Angeles, with its sale starting at 10am on Cyber Monday (30 November). One hundred flights will be available on selected dates in February 2016 for bargain hunters to pick up a travel deal. Outbound flights are available on 1, 2, 3, 8 and 9 February, returning on 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16 and 17. The Cyber Monday deal will go live at 10am via airnewzealand.co.uk/cybermonday.
Delta
Unlike the other carriers listed here, Delta isn’t offering a sale on paid fares — instead, through Monday, you can book discounted award tickets for 10,000 miles each way. Many of the discounted awards are for short-haul travel, but there are some medium-haul routes included as well, such as Los Angeles to Tampa and New York to San Diego. Book by November 30 for travel between January 5 and February 24, 2016. This is an exceptional deal considering how pricey Delta’s domestic awards can be!
Emirates
Emirates offers discounted companion fares on a semi-regular basis, but destinations are usually limited to Italy or Dubai. This time, there are many more routes available, but you’ll need to book quickly — the airline’s Black Friday sale ends at midnight ET on Sunday. As part of Emirates’ sale, you can book the usual JFK-Milan for $550 apiece (when you book for two), but the airline is also offering flights from the US to Dubai for $625, Bangkok or Singapore for $825 and Johannesburg for $875. Book by November 29 for travel between January 9 and May 6, 2016.
Etihad
Rather than offering discounted fares on select routes like its competitor Emirates, Etihad is running a 25% off sale on many of its routes from the US. Flights must be ticketed by Monday for travel between January 1 and June 30, 2016. You must search for flights directly through Etihad using promo code CYBERMONDAY to take advantage. The discount applies to flights booked in economy, business and first class, though we weren’t able to book discounted flights in any class from JFK, so the offer may be limited beyond what Etihad’s listed in its terms and conditions.
EVA Air
Beginning Monday, November 30 through December 14, you’ll be able to book discounted flights to China, Macau and other destinations on Star Alliance carrier EVA Air. Fares start at $650 round-trip and are valid for travel from February 7 through May 20, 2016. The lowest fares are available for weekday travel, but you can fly on the weekends as well for a $25 surcharge. Visit EVA’s site on Monday to book.
Fiji Airways
For 48 hours beginning Monday, Fiji Airways is offering up to 40% off flights departing the US. Naturally, the cheapest fares are available from Honolulu, with HNL to Nadi, Fiji available for $799 round-trip. Flights from the mainland aren’t much pricier, however — you can fly from Los Angeles to Fiji for $899 or Los Angeles to Sydney (via Fiji) for $905 round-trip for travel between January 23 and March 22, 2016.
Singapore Airlines
Last but certainly not least, Singapore Airlines is offering an excellent Black Friday sale of its own. Through midnight on Monday (local departure city time), you can book discounted flights to Europe and Asia in both economy and business class for travel between January 10 and May 31, 2016. For example, you can fly from New York to Frankfurt for $699 in economy or $2,599 in business. Or travel from Houston to Moscow for $499 in economy or $4,999 in business. Finally, Singapore’s flights from Los Angeles to Tokyo and San Francisco to Seoul are available for $599 in economy or $2,999 in business — a phenomenal price for both cabins!
