Black Friday is perhaps the single most important day of the year for US retailers, even as Black Friday.
Last year, US retailers set a record with $6.22 billion in Black Friday business in online sales alone.
With the online component, Black Friday continues to include more than just electronics and toys. Even airlines have been jumping on board with sales and specials of their own.
So far, deals are rather sparse, but we expect more to be announced as Black Friday and Cyber Monday get closer.
We'll be updating this list as the world's airlines announce their Black Friday sales, so be sure to check back and refresh.
In the meantime, scroll down to find the best airline Black Friday deals of 2019.
