Oh boy its that time of year again, Black Friday! Simple Flying has hunted across the internet to find you the very best flight deals for Black Friday weekend. The majority of these are discounts on specific destinations, rather than a blanket discount across the network.

Now, the best way to search for deals specific to you is to open up each of these links and set your home airport (or whatever is best) and see what you can find. I don't recommend using Skyscanner entirely (whilst you should use that as well), as some of the deals need you to use a code at checkout (thus you might miss it on a normal flight search website).

So without further ado, lets dive right in.

Air Canada

Starting off this list is Air Canada, with their Black Friday deals. Its a code, BLACKFRIDAYEU18, for 20% select flights. Which flights? Search here.

WestJet

Not to be outdone by their rival, WestJet is also offering a Black Friday sale. It is another search engine so your best bet is to have a quick look before moving on.

LATAM

LATAM won last year with their Black Friday deal, with some crazy flights from Australia to South America. And they might do it again. Log onto their site to see some deals that apply from your region.

Emirates

Emirates is offering a bunch of round trip flights from its international hub cities, and from the 12 cities, it offers services to in the USA. Flights are starting from $449 and go up from there.

Qatar

Not to be caught out by Emirates, Qatar has also launched a Black Friday promotion. And some of these discounts are crazy, like $300 off the Q-suite and economy return with $150 off. You have to use the code FlyDay in order to get the discount (don't worry, its super obvious).

Etihad

Etihad has a limited Black Friday sale on with discounts across their range of destinations. It appears only to be for their US-based website so be sure to change it when you log on. Check it out here

Air France & KLM

Both the two airlines, KLM and Air France have joined up to offer triple earnings on their Flying Blue frequent flyer program. If you fly with them a lot and you are close to getting great status, then perhaps this deal is right for you.

Iberia

Japan Airlines

This deal is very Japanese (even the site is in Japanese) but if you can wade through it and if it applies to you, you might be able to get a deal.

Here is the link.

Aer Lingus

Aer Lingus is offering the following:

"This Black Flyday we are taking $100* off roundtrip Economy fares or $200* off roundtrip business fares on scheduled transatlantic flights from the US & Canada to Europe"

You can check out their deals here.

Icelandair

This is a bit of an odd one. They are offering discounts to Iceland from the USA (good if you have been keen to go there) but that is pretty much it. I can't say for sure if its a huge saving (E.g. Boston to Reykjavík), but check it out.

United Airlines

United has taken a different approach to Black Friday, offering a discount on its combined holiday and flight packages. You can see specifics here.

Southwest

Southwest has a huge range of fares on offer and it would be impossible for us to list them all here. Go check out the one-way fares here.

Finnair

A bit of a stranger to these types of lists, Finnair should NOT be discounted (from your mind) but discounted from your wallet (save that money). They have some impressive deals that should be considered if you plan to fly Europe to Asia. Check them out here.

Some of the deals are super cheap. Photo: Finnair

Norwegian

An interesting find by Business Insider is a deal for that exclusive 'all-business class' airline. They are offering flights for just $1,000 round trip Paris to New York. What an experience for an insane price!
