Not all airlines jump on the Black Friday bandwagon, but sometimes Kiwi travellers can nab a cheap(er) airfare.
The trick is to be flexible with your dates, and if you can be flexible with your destination too, then you’ll have a better chance at securing a deal.
One thing that can trip up bargain-hunter travellers is booking a cheap flight, only to find accommodation at their destination at a premium, effectively cancelling out any airfare savings. So do your research, look around, (don’t forget to check the terms and conditions of the sale fares) – and you might just be winging your way to a more affordable 2024 holiday.
Qatar Airways’ Black Friday is the airline’s biggest online sales event of the year. It’s offering up to 15% off flights from Auckland to select destinations, including multiple locations around Europe, when using the promo code BF23.
