While some of us were still napping off those turkey-induced comas, thousands upon thousands of eager Americans were hitting the malls. But the smartest shoppers were waiting for Cyber Monday, which has become the best time of the year to get a major deal on your next vacation.
Airlines, hotels, tour operators, and cruise companies across the country are rolling out incredible discounts, making November the peak month for travel bookings. In fact, last year Cyber Monday triggered a four-fold increase in worldwide flight bookings, according to Sojern, the world’s leading performance marketing platform for travel brands.
While airlines usually keep the details of their deals under wraps until the actual sale day, many hotels and tour companies have already started advertising their offerings. Here are some of the best.
