Pro tips to score the best Cyber Monday and Travel Tuesday Hotel deals
Book early, but not too early
Figuring out the best time to book your Cyber Monday hotel deal can be tricky—it’s hardly an exact science–but there are a few general guidelines to follow. According to Skyscanner’s data, for domestic stays, book within the week of your stay, though you’ll still see significant savings booking 1-2 weeks in advance. For international sojourns, you’ll want to book within a week before your stay. However, booking too far in advance—8-19 weeks—may not yield significant savings.
Be flexible with travel dates
Changing your travel dates by a day or two can lead to bigger savings, especially if you plan your stay midweek when hotel prices are typically lower. Be sure to avoid peak travel periods like major holidays. Also check your destination for local events including festivals, concerts, or conventions which often cause a spike in accommodation costs.
Look for hidden gems
While well-known hospitality chains are generally a safe bet, choosing boutique, independent, or local hotel options you’ll find on Skyscanner provide better value and a more personalized stay, giving you insight into local culture that will make your stay a truly memorable experience.
Explore off-the-beaten path locations
Hotels in less popular destination are not only more affordable but may offer even more savings on Cyber Monday and Travel Tuesday. Not sure where to go? Use Skyscanner’s “everywhere” search feature to discover amazing flight deals to destinations that may not be on your radar. Enter in your departure city and search with either specific dates, or, for even more savings, choose the “whole month” on the desktop or “anytime” in the app.
Don’t skip traveler reviews
Price isn’t everything when hunting for the best Cyber Monday hotel deals. A hotel with lackluster reviews may not be worth the savings. Having said that, spend time carefully assessing feedback. If a hotel has mostly positive reviews with a few negative ones, consider if the complaints are isolated or highlight an ongoing issue.
Weigh perks and policies
Evaluate how included perks and amenities will impact the overall value of your Cyber Monday or Travel Tuesday hotel deal. Free breakfast, parking and gym facilities, or Wi-Fi can make or break a deal. That affordable room may not be so budget-friendly if you’re paying daily parking fees or extra for breakfast. Similarly, paying a little more for a flexible cancellation policy instead of the non-refundable rate might be worth it in the long run, especially if you’re booking far in advance.
Watch out for blackout dates
Keep in mind that some Cyber Monday hotel deals might come with specific exclusions, particularly around peak travel times like holidays or high seasons, depending on your destination. A deal that doesn’t allow you to travel when you want may quickly lose its appeal. However, if you’re a member of a hotel’s loyalty program, those blackout dates and discounts may be more a little more flexible.
