Travel Tuesday falls on 1 December 2026. Treat the date as a reminder to compare travel offers, not a promise that any airline or hotel will run a sale or offer its lowest price.
Strategic travel planning
Prioritise your travel needs by comparing current costs against the potential risk of losing your preferred flight or hotel availability while waiting for a future sale. A promotional label does not automatically equate to a saving, so evaluate the total price of a booking you are ready to secure now versus waiting for a hypothetical offer.
Evaluating total trip costs
Before committing to any booking, calculate the complete price including mandatory fees, service charges, and any additional costs for transport or flexibility. Check the rules regarding changes and cancellations carefully, as cheaper promotional fares often come with stricter limitations compared to standard bookings.
Maximising Cashback and rewards
To potentially earn Cashback on eligible travel bookings, always start your shopping journey by opening the relevant merchant listing directly via the ShopBack Australia platform. Promo codes featured on ShopBack's Flight Centre page under Deals & Discounts stack with ShopBack Cashback. Promo codes featured on ShopBack's Virgin Australia page under Deals & Discounts stack with ShopBack Cashback.
