If you safely made it out of Black Friday and Cyber Monday without buying crap you don't need just because it was on sale, you're a real one.

If you're someone who wants to spend your money on experiences and memories versus stuff, there's still a major category of Cyber Week deals right up your alley: flight deals. Some are Cyber Monday travel deals still live, some are Travel Tuesday deals — but the semantics are pretty irrelevant as long as you're headed to that place you've been meaning to nix from the bucket list for a year.

We're tracking the best Travel Tuesday and Cyber Week flight deals below, from actual airlines like Southwest (or a rare American Airlines discount on international flights), to online travel agencies big on bundling with hotels or rental cars like Expedia. Cyber Week hotel deals or cruise deals are also a thing, and we're keeping tabs on that as well.

Why we like it

Don't sleep on Southwest. You haven't seen its name pop up on any online travel agency like Expedia or Kayak because Southwest displays fares on its own website only. But that certainly doesn't mean its prices aren't competitive, especially when it has so many random flight deals throughout the year.

So on an actual deal day like Travel Tuesday, you can expect it to go exceptionally hard. Using code CYBERSALE will save you up to 30% on flights to select continental destinations when you travel between Jan. 7 and March 5, 2025, or flights to select international destinations (as well as parts of Hawaii and Puerto Rico) when you travel between Jan. 7 and May 22, 2025. To be eligible for the sale, these flights must be booked by Dec. 5, and some blackout dates apply.

Regardless of when you book, Southwest automatically saves you a little bit by letting you check two bags for free — another reason why Southwest is our overall favorite site for cheap, direct flights.
