“Buy experiences, not things.” This is something you’ll likely hear from many of the travelers in your life, or perhaps something you’ve found yourself saying. I mean, sure, new cozy sweaters and fancy kitchen gadgets are cool, but not quite as memorable as an all-inclusive trip to The Dominican Republic, or a roundtrip ticket to Rome, Italy. If you’re not sure what to buy for the holidays this year, start on Black Friday with these outright steals.
1. Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts
Bahia Principe Hotels & Resorts has locations in Jamaica, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, and Spain. Regardless of which location catches your eye, luxury will be at the forefront. Bahia Principe provides stunning rooms, delectable cuisine, and drinks that seemingly never stop flowing. A treat to a Bahia Principe getaway is the ultimate way to show someone, or yourself, that you care and are worth experiencing all of the best things life has to offer. The Black Friday deal gives travelers up to 55% off, a complimentary stay for one child at select properties, and up to USD 1,630 in resort credits via their Trip Enhancer program. The deal will be available from November 23 – November 30, 2022, with travel valid through January 1st, 2024. This deal applies to any all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica, Dominican Republic, and Mexico.
2. Antarctica Trips with Freestyle Adventure Travel
Any avid traveler knows one of the most expensive ventures to embark on is a trip down to the 7th continent, Antarctica. An average Antarctica trip costs around $15,000, and that typically doesn’t even include flights down to Argentina. Well, lucky for those who are hungry to tick this icy underworld off of their bucket list, Freestyle Adventure Travel is offering a steep discount, with some trips being as low as $5,000.

4. Island Expeditions, Glover’s Reef Atoll 4-Day Safari-Style Adventure

5. Jetblue Airlines
Who doesn’t love JetBlue? It’s a great airline that flies to several destinations, both domestically and internationally. This Black Friday, fares start as low as $39 for one-ways to select cities, and even the ones that might not be that low of a bargain are still a pretty sweet steal.
6. Osprey Comet 30 Laptop Backpack
Ask anyone who’s ever backpacked, or even considered backpacking, what the most suitable bag to take is, and they’re likely going to tell you to look into Osprey. Osprey’s bags are suited for travelers on long-hauls. In fact, it was an Osprey that got me through my 6-month backpacking venture around the globe. On Amazon, Osprey’s Comet 30 Laptop Backpack is running at 25% off this year for Black Friday. Don’t miss out, and get this deal for the biggest daredevil in your life.
7. Booking.com
My favorite site to book hotels on is Booking. I use it for nearly everything, as I always find the best deals on the web here. This Black Friday, find even more deals through Booking with up to 30% off their already insanely low prices. On Booking, you can book hotels, flights, car rentals, and even taxis.
