Travel Tuesday 2025:

“Okay, be honest,” Jamie said, sliding into the chair across from me, latte in hand. “Did you already raid the Black Friday deals? Or did you save your fire for today?”

I laughed. “You know me. I waited. Travel Tuesday is where the real magic drops—and this year? It’s basically the Super Bowl of cheap flights and insane hotel steals.”

Jamie nodded like she already knew. “Exactly! People think Tech Monday or Big Sale Thursday is where it’s at, but nope… today is the day travelers like us thrive. It’s the hidden gem — the day when airlines, hotels, and resorts quietly fling open the floodgates and say, “Go on.” Treat yourself.”

So we pulled out our laptops, the glow of open tabs already reflecting in our eyes, and started talking shop — the way two travel pros do when the deals are so good it feels a little illegal.

Expedia: “Dude… up to 75% off?”

“First stop: Expedia,” I said.

Jamie raised a brow. “Oh, I know. Up to 50% off thousands of hotels between Nov. 20 and Dec. 2 — and then those flash deals hitting 75% off?” She whistled low. “If that isn’t a sign to book a beach escape, I don’t know what is.”

“Honestly,” I replied, “even boutique hotels are joining the party. Today is the day to stop doom-scrolling and start dream-booking.”

Barceló Resorts: “All-inclusive paradise, hello?”

“Barceló is showing off this year,” Jamie said, pulling up the page.

“55% off across their resorts and an extra 15% off with the code 25BF15.”

“And the destinations?” I added. “Riviera Maya. Punta Cana. Cancun. Puerto Vallarta. Basically all the places you’d rather be instead of in cold weather pretending you like it.”

We both nodded at the same time — the shared language of travel agents who’ve seen too many frozen winters.

Marriott Bonvoy: “Points AND perks? They understood the assignment.”

“Marriott is rare this year,” Jamie said. “25% off thousands of hotels. Free breakfast. Free WiFi. Flexible cancellations. And up to 3,000 Bonvoy points per booking.”

“With over 7,000 properties worldwide,” I said, clicking through. “City escapes. Mountain retreats. Rooftop pools. Somewhere out there, a future vacation version of you is fist-pumping.”

Atlantis: “Breakfast, bonuses, and Bahamas bliss? Yes.”

“Atlantis is basically begging us to pack,” I joked.

“Free daily breakfast for two,” Jamie recited. “Up to $200 instant savings for a four-night stay. And if you bundle your flight? 35% off through July 2026.”

“I mean,” I sighed dramatically, “If the tropics are calling, who are we to refuse?”

Skyscanner: “Spain for $137?! Tokyo from $22 a night?!”

Jamie practically choked on her drink.

“Real-time deals across flights, hotels, car rentals… Skyscanner is eating.”

“And it’s perfect for 2026 planning,” I added. “Check every airline. Every partner. All the hidden deals. This is the cheat code for budget travelers.”

Sandals & Beaches: “65% off luxury?!”

“Sandals did not come to play,” Jamie said, turning her screen toward me.

“65% off, up to $1,500 in instant credit, spa perks, airfare credits, even a free night on longer stays.”

“For anyone craving warm sand and zero responsibilities — this is the sign.”

Fairmont: “Luxury travelers, rise.”

“Fairmont is knocking down prices by up to 30%,” I said.

“Travel from Dec. 2025 through May 2026. Book by tonight.”

Jamie smiled. “Afternoon tea. Iconic city stays. Gorgeous views. If you want classic elegance that feels like stepping into a storybook, this is it.”

Booking.com: “Hotel deals up to 40% off AND trip planning? Queen behavior.”

“Booking has 40% off hotels, plus savings on flights, cars, and transfers,” I said.

“Travel through the end of 2026,” Jamie added. “Los Cabos, Tokyo, Lisbon… whatever vibe you’re chasing, it’s here.”

CheapFlights: “Promo codes on everything?!”

Jamie grinned.

“This one’s for the hackers. Promo codes on hotels, flights, and cars. Up to $100 off fees. And if you’re a member — triple miles.”

“You can literally fly to Medellín roundtrip for under $420,” I whispered.

We both gasped at the same time.

Priceline: “Savings AND $2,000 cruise credit?”

“Priceline said go big,” Jamie laughed.

“30% off hotels, $650 off bundles, and up to $2,000 cruise credit? This is what we call a ‘book now, figure out the logistics later’ moment.”

“And VIP members get even more,” I added.

“Spontaneous weekend trip? Absolutely.”

“So… where are you heading first?”

Jamie closed her laptop and grinned.

“Honestly? With deals like these, the harder question is… where aren’t we going?”

And we just sat there, like two old-school travel agents with Gen Z hearts, dreaming of new stamps on passports and beaches that feel like postcards come to life.

So tell me — where are you flying off to next?
