Airlines are copying retailers like Amazon and Walmart and starting a 'Black Friday' of their own

First, there was Black Friday, and then there was Cyber Monday. Now there's Travel Tuesday. In recent years, the number of airlines participating in the annual post-Thanksgiving retail fest that is Black Friday has steadily increased. However, airlines and the travel industry have taken a page out of Amazon and Walmart's playbooks with their own "day of deals." And it's begun to catch on. Even though Tuesdays, in general, have been known as a good time to catch a good deal on a flight, the Tuesday after Thanksgiving is expected to be even more fruitful for bargain hunters. Airfare prediction website Hopper expects the number of flight sales on Travel Tuesday to be twice that of Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined. <br/>
