Cyber Week has landed and with it comes a airplane full of travel and flight deals to get you holidaying for less in 2025.
Etihad has been teasing us for days over their Black Friday sale and have finally come up with the goods.
Taking up to 20 per cent off flights, you can hightail it to Europe for under $1200 return.
Sample fares include Sydney to Milan from $1117 return, Sydney to Barcelona from $1136 return and Melbourne to Istanbul from $1121 return and travel dates range from January 15, 2025 to May 31, 2025, which means you can clock in some early sunshine if you play your dates right.
We're also loving Singapore Airlines' Companion Special sees you fly to Asia's hottest destinations (think Singapore, Bangkok, Guangzhou and Male) from $617 return and Virgin Australia's Black Friday sale which has domestic seats from $49 each way. Last-minute summer vacay? It's happening.
In terms of gear, Bellroy has won us over with 25 per cent off all orders over $100 (30 per cent if you're a subscriber) while Zorali's cult Escapade backpack is down to $140 from $170. It's been such a hit it's already on pre-order!
The North Face has also caught our eye today with up to 30 per cent off selected styles.
Amazon's still going strong with up to 63 per cent off travel favourites. If you struggle to get comfy on the plane, I highly recommend the Cabeau Evolution S3 (now $38) or the uniquely shaped trtl travel pillow, now $64.28.
To complete your kit, the INIU Mini Power Bank is a pocket rocket with 8,000 positive reviews and will keep you connected for just $27.99 (down from $45.99).
On the hunt for luggage? They're up to 50 per cent off Antler, Strandbags and American Tourister and 40 per cent off at Myer, The Iconic and Samsonite.
Hot tip: The Iconic price matches online so if you see a suitcase for less somewhere else hit them up.
Oh and also don't forget to pop a 45 per cent off Tile tracker into your cart while you're there. Apple user? Amazon's got 18 per cent off AirTags.
In terms of beauty, there's a lot going on to keep you hydrated in the air and looking your best for the holiday gram. Think up to 50 per cent off Kotia, 60 per cent off Smilie's Sonic Pulse Electric Toothbrush and 30 per cent off all things Bescher Beauty.
The viral COSRX Snail Mucin 92% Repair Cream has also hit the insane low price of $15.47 (that's 64 per cent off!) while Vush has taken up to 75 per cent off sexual wellness toys, including a few travel-friendly ones.
Now, onto those holidays.
Because Bali is always in vogue, we've rustled up this five-night holiday at the Double-Six Luxury Hotel in Seminyak deal for you. That's five-nights from $2163 per room which includes daily breakfast, free flow cocktail hour, one 60-minute massage, one three-course dinner and use of the kid's corner.
Locally, Luxury Escapes has also caught our attention with 51 per cent off Grand Mercure Apartments on Magnetic Island. It includes one-day car hire, late check-out and breathtaking views.
To fill your itinerary, RedBalloon has slashed selected experiences by up to 25 per cent AND is taking another 10 per cent off that when you use the code BFCM24.
Making travel easier, Babybee's Miles travel pram is down $100 to $379.99. Honestly, it's one of the best travel prams I've tried and it's a fraction of the cost of high-end ones. Pair it with a viral Yoto player, which is 20 per cent off right now, and you'll have some very happy kiddos.
Boody comfy undies and basics are also worth mentioning. At up to 60 per cent off, now's a great time to stock up.
Finally, if you're thinking about Christmas presents, Hubbl Hub can upgrade their Smart TV for $49.50 (down from $99), selected Lorna Jane gear is 40 per cent off, Lululemon wears are up to half off, clothing, swimmers and skateboards are up to 70 per cent off at Surfstitch, and Yinahla bedding and mattresses are 25 per cent off.
Failing those, you can always grab them a bottle of Croser Orange Spritz for $23 (down from $30) from Liquorland.

Who is having Black Friday sales in 2024?
Though the official deals haven't dropped yet, these brands are already teasing they'll be having sales in November for Black Friday.
What is Black Friday?
Originating in the USA, Black Friday is an annual sales event that occurs the Friday after Thanksgiving. It's seen as the official "kick-off" to the Christmas shopping season.
In the past, it was a bricks and mortar sale sale where shoppers would line out the doors to grab heavily marked down items.
Today, it's a global event that you can shop online and is one of the biggest sale events in Australia.
What date are the Black Friday sales in 2024?
This year's Black Friday is on November 29, 2024. It falls annually on the last Friday of November.
While officially the sale runs for a day, over the years the sale has exploded to encompass the entire month of November, as well as the three days after Black Friday, also known as Cyber Weekend and Cyber Monday.
How long do Black Friday sales last?
Officially Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals last from Friday November 29, 2024 until Monday December 2, 2024. However, stores may choose to extend their sale dates as long as they like.
How can I make the most of the Black Friday sales?
As a professional shopper and deal hunter, these are my top tips to shopping the Black Friday sales:
- Make wishlists: Before the sale even begins, start making wish lists at your favourite retailers. You'll then have everything in your carts ready to hit "buy" when the discounts land.
- Shop around: Thousands of deals will be buzzing about over Black Friday and some will be repeat offenders. If there's something you have on your shopping list, do a quick search to see if another store is selling it for less. PS - I'll be aiming to keep the cheapest options on this list of deals to help you out.
- If the price is right, don't wait for Black Friday: This is mostly true for travel purchases like flights and hotel stays where there's a finite number of seats or rooms available. Yes, prices may drop when Black Friday does but by then your desired travel dates may be booked out.
- Team up with mates to save on shipping costs: I hate having to buy more just to get free shipping. Chat with your friends to see if you can bundle your items to meet the minimum spend for free delivery.
- Know your returns policies: Shopping events and impulse purchases go hand-in-hand. Before you get too shop-happy read the returns policy and make sure you can return your items in case you realise they're not quite right.
