Are You Locked in for Black Friday 2024

— Return of the Fever?

We can all agree that no one loves November. You’re working and studying non-stop, exams and deadlines are fast approaching.  The weather is bleak and there doesn’t seem to be a way to run from it.  Christmas gift shopping is almost upon us, and we’re still looking for scraps from the EURO summer that went a little too far into October.

When all hope is lost, like a knight in shining armour, “Black Friday Cyber Monday Travel Tuesday” – a week-long extravaganza of the best bargain deals—appears on our doorsteps or mailboxes.

How do you stay focused and informed during this overwhelming week?

Know what is essential for you. For most of us, this is the time to be ready on the go to ensure you get the best deals for the most essential hobby/lifestyle aka travel. 

It’s also the time to be super vigilant about any pitfalls you may be a victim of such as:

• Additional costs
• Not reading the fine print
• Failing to compare multiple offers
• Being misled by advertising

Since it’s easy to drown in the deals, we decided to share some of the top travel companies you should remember to check during the week and avoid decision fatigue. 

Trainline 

Every year this UK-based platform has massive discounts on both train tickets and their rail cards. Don’t forget to check their page to see what they come up with this year!

Renfe

Don’t forget to do the same for the Spanish sister to compare and get the best deals to come and stay with us! 

Eurail

Last year Europe’s best value pass had a 25% discount across their offers. Keep your eyes peeled for them too! 

easyJet

Last year, the budget airline offered many discounts on flights and package holiday deals, but they have yet to update their discount page for 2024.  However, if you’ve flown with this company in recent months, you may have noticed yours truly on their glossy pages.

While we wait for them to update their Black Friday deals page, enjoy our exclusive discount code with easyJet which gives you 30% off on your first booking – use code SAFEMORE and thank us later!
