Travel Tuesday Emerges as Key Booking Window for Winter Getaways
Travel Tuesday has cemented its position as a critical booking opportunity for winter escapes, surpassing Black Friday and Cyber Monday in deal volume. Airlines and hotels now concentrate their deepest discounts on the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving, with Hopper data showing a 300% increase in promotions since 2017.
Delta Air Lines leads with roundtrip fares from NYC to Caribbean destinations under $300, while Marriott offers 40% off ski resort bookings. "This isn't just marketing fluff anymore," says Clint Henderson of The Points Guy. "We're seeing legitimate 50-60% discounts on routes that typically command premium prices in December."
