Black Friday 2026 Flight Deals: Wizz Air, Pegasus and Other Airline Sales

Updated: 16 October 2026. We will update this article as soon as Black Friday sales are announced — bookmark the page.

Black Friday flight deals in 2026 fall on Friday, 27 November, with Cyber Monday on 30 November. It is the one week of the year when almost every low-cost carrier flying from Georgia — plus several major airlines — announces discounts at the same time: Wizz Air typically cuts 20% off the base fare, Pegasus and AJet release hundreds of thousands of seats at fixed low prices, and Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways run week-long sales on winter and spring travel. The sales have not started yet, so below we have gathered what happened in previous years, which dates to expect in 2026 and how to prepare so the discount actually saves you money rather than just looking good in an ad.

In short: sign up for the Wizz Air, Pegasus (BolBol) and AJet apps in advance, note the price of your route 1–2 weeks beforehand, have your December–March dates ready, and on Black Friday morning check the app first — the cheapest seats sell out within a few hours.

When is Black Friday 2026 and how long do the sales last?

Black Friday is always the Friday after American Thanksgiving — in 2026 that is 27 November. For airlines, though, it has long been not a single day but a “black week”: sales often start on Monday or Tuesday, peak on Friday and run until Cyber Monday (30 November) or the following Tuesday, known as Travel Tuesday (1 December). Based on previous years, these are the expected timeframes:

• Wizz Air — the sale starts on Black Friday itself or the day before and lasts 2–4 days, usually including Cyber Monday.
• Pegasus — usually a week before Black Friday, in a two-day window (22–23 November in 2023).
• AJet — also early, a 2–3-day sale in mid-November (13–15 November in 2024).
• Turkish Airlines — “Friday Flyday”, running for about a week from Black Friday (27 November – 4 December in 2025).
• Qatar Airways — the longest window, roughly 10–12 days (21 November – 2 December in 2025).

An important detail: the discount almost always applies to a specific travel period — mostly December to March or April, often excluding the New Year holidays. Summer tickets are rarely discounted on Black Friday.

Airline Black Friday discounts: comparison table

The table summarises past Black Friday sales from airlines flying from Georgia and what we expect in 2026. The data is based on the official terms of each sale; specific 2026 dates and percentages will be added as soon as the airlines announce them.

flydubai / Air Arabia	No sale tied directly to Black Friday; they run “seat sales” several times a year regardless of season	—	flydubai.com, airarabia.com	If you plan to fly to Dubai or Sharjah in winter, check prices before Black Friday too — a seasonal sale may already be on

The table is based on official sales in 2023–2025. The 2026 dates are estimates and will be confirmed as soon as the sales begin.

Wizz Air Black Friday: what to expect from Kutaisi

For Wizz Air, Black Friday is the biggest sale of the year — it even has its own branded name, “Pink Friday”. In 2025 the airline announced up to 20% off the base fare, while WIZZ Discount Club members got around 25%; a year earlier, in 2024, one-way tickets were discounted by up to 30% for December–March travel. The sale usually launches on wizzair.com and in the mobile app at the same time and lasts 2–4 days.

For Kutaisi this means that on Wizz Air’s twenty or so routes from the city — Larnaca, Warsaw, Milan, Prague, Budapest, Rome, Berlin and others — winter tickets come out 20–25% cheaper. For example, if the Kutaisi–Prague base fare is 149 GEL, a 20% discount brings it down to about 119 GEL, and slightly lower still for a Discount Club member. The exact price depends on the date, so treat this as a rough estimate only.

What to know before you buy: the discount applies only to the base fare — checked baggage, WIZZ Priority and seat selection remain at full price, so for a passenger with luggage the real saving is less than 20%. The cheapest seats on each flight are limited and go in the first hours. If you fly Wizz Air at least twice a year, activate Discount Club membership before Black Friday — its discount usually stacks with the sale and also covers your travel companions.

Pegasus and AJet: cheap Istanbul tickets with BolBol and promo codes

The Turkish low-cost carriers approach Black Friday differently: instead of a percentage discount, they release hundreds of thousands of seats at a fixed low price and keep the window short. In 2023 Pegasus sold 100,000 seats over two days, 22–23 November: tickets were available only on flypgs.com or in the app, every passenger needed their own BolBol membership, the discount covered only the Eko fare and direct flights, and travel was possible from 4 December to 4 April. Pegasus uses the same model throughout the year — BolBol members periodically receive promo codes for up to 40% off international flights.

AJet held its 2024 Black Friday sale on 13–15 November, almost two weeks early: 131,000 seats in the basic package, travel from 20 November to 15 January, purchase only on ajet.com and in the app. That sale covered domestic flights within Turkey; on international routes, including Tbilisi–Istanbul, AJet announces discounts of up to 40% on other dates, with promo codes and only through the app. Both airlines share one rule: sale tickets are non-refundable and changes cost almost the full fare — so be sure of your dates.

From Georgia, this matters most for the Tbilisi–Istanbul route: during the sale the base fare drops noticeably, and from Istanbul the entire Pegasus and AJet network opens up. If you don’t yet have a Pegasus BolBol account, open one now — losing time on registration on sale day means losing the discount. Pegasus baggage rules, check-in and contacts are covered in our complete Pegasus guide.

Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways and other major airlines

Turkish Airlines calls its Black Friday sale “Friday Flyday”. In 2025 tickets were on sale from 27 November to 4 December for travel between 12 January and 30 April 2026 — return economy tickets only, excluding the New Year period and with a minimum-stay requirement (for Europe, at least one Sunday at the destination). Terms differ by country, so for flights from Georgia check the details on the Georgian version of turkishairlines.com — we cannot confirm in advance that every country’s sale includes Tbilisi.

In 2025 Qatar Airways offered up to 20% off the base fare on flights departing from Europe — in both economy and business — from 21 November to 2 December, with bonus Avios for Privilege Club members. The sale had a long list of blackout dates (including 19–29 December and the first week of the New Year), and the discount applied only to certain fare classes. Travellers flying from Tbilisi via Doha to Asia or Africa should check the Georgian sale page — not every market gets the same terms.

Emirates has not run a Black Friday sale in recent years, while flydubai and Air Arabia hold “seat sales” regardless of season, so a Tbilisi–Dubai ticket is worth checking before Black Friday too. For Georgian Airways we could not confirm an annual Black Friday sale — if there is a discount, it will appear first on the airline’s social media and website.

How to prepare for Black Friday: 7 steps

1. Sign up in advance. Open your WIZZ account, Pegasus BolBol and the AJet app now — on Pegasus, the sale fare does not even show without a BolBol number. Make sure notifications are turned on in the apps.
2. Note the “regular” price. 1–2 weeks before Black Friday, save the price of your route on several dates. On sale day, that number will show you whether the discount is real or just marketing.
3. Set up a price alert. Turn on price tracking for your route on flights.avia.ge and on aggregators — low-cost sales sometimes last just one day.
4. Plan dates for December–March. That is the period the sales cover. Being flexible by ±3 days often doubles the saving. Ideas are in our article on winter destinations.
5. Calculate the full price with baggage. The discount is on the base fare; checked baggage often costs more than the ticket. Compare the total, not just “ticket 20% cheaper”.
6. Be early. In the first hours of a sale, the cheapest seats on each flight go fast. The Wizz Air and Pegasus apps often show prices before the website does.
7. Buy only what you are sure about. Sale tickets are mostly non-refundable. If your plans are still vague, a 20% saving is smaller than the change fee.

Common mistakes when buying tickets on Black Friday

• A “discount” after a price hike. Some fares go up a few days before the sale and then become “20% cheaper”. You can only check this against a price you noted in advance.
• Confusing the sale period with the travel period. You buy on 27–30 November, but you may only be able to fly in December–March, excluding the New Year holidays.
• Forgetting baggage. A 119 GEL low-cost ticket plus 150 GEL for a bag often adds up to the price of a full-service airline fare with luggage. Compare the total amount.
• Buying on a third-party site where the sale does not apply. Pegasus and AJet Black Friday fares are available only on the official website and app. Use aggregators for comparison, but buy the sale ticket where the sale actually applies.
• A name typo in a hurry. Correcting a name on a sale ticket costs money and sometimes more than the ticket itself. Enter your passport details carefully.

Our general strategy for buying cheap tickets — when to buy, which days are cheaper and why “incognito mode” does not work — is described in a separate article: how to buy flight tickets at the lowest price.

Which destinations are the best value on Black Friday?

The sales cover winter travel, so you save the most on destinations you were planning to visit in winter anyway. From Kutaisi with Wizz Air, that means Christmas Europe above all — Prague, Budapest, Milan and Warsaw in December, or warm Larnaca in February–March. From Tbilisi, the Pegasus and AJet sales make tickets to Istanbul cheaper, and from there connections open up the whole of Europe and the Middle East; Turkish Airlines’ “Friday Flyday” is best value for long-haul flights in January–April. Details on getting to Kutaisi Airport, parking and schedules are on our Kopitnari Airport page.

What happens after Black Friday: sales in December–January

If you didn’t find the ticket you wanted on Black Friday, that doesn’t mean you have missed your chance of a cheap flight. The wave of sales doesn’t end in late November:

• Travel Tuesday (1 December) — some airlines and online agencies extend their Black Friday sales to this day or announce a separate one-day offer.
• Regular Wizz Air sales — Wizz Air runs discounts frequently throughout the year, mostly in a short 24–48-hour format, sometimes for Discount Club members only. So it is worth keeping your newsletter subscription and app notifications after Black Friday too.
• January sales — after the New Year holidays, many airlines launch new sales for spring and summer travel. If you are planning a summer trip, January sales may suit you better than Black Friday.
• Bank and card offers — Georgian banks periodically offer cashback and discounts on travel spending. Check your bank’s current promotions before buying — sometimes they stack with the airline’s discount.

Payment, currency and documents: check before you buy

The most frustrating Black Friday scenario is finding a cheap ticket, only for the payment to fail at the last step while the seat sells out. To avoid this, check in advance:

• Your card for online payments. Make sure online and international payments are enabled on your card, the limit is high enough and the 3D Secure SMS code goes to your current number. Ideally, have a backup card too.
• Currency and conversion. If the fare is in euros or another currency and your card is in lari, your bank will convert the amount at its own rate. Some airlines and websites offer their own conversion as well — before accepting it, compare which rate is better.
• Passport details. Enter your first and last name exactly as they appear in your passport in Latin letters. For travel to the Schengen area, your passport must be valid for at least 3 months after the date you leave the zone and must have been issued within the last 10 years.
• Entry rules. The EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES) is in operation at its borders and takes fingerprints and a photo on your first entry — allow extra time for border queues. Before travelling, always check the current rules of your destination country, including the status of ETIAS.
• Your companions’ details. If you are buying for several people, prepare everyone’s passport details in advance. And for the Pegasus sale, as mentioned above, each passenger needs their own BolBol account.

Frequently asked questions

When is Black Friday 2026 and when do airline sales start?

Black Friday 2026 falls on Friday, 27 November, and Cyber Monday on 30 November. The Wizz Air sale usually starts on Black Friday itself and lasts 2–4 days, while Pegasus and AJet often hold two- or three-day sales 1–2 weeks earlier, in mid-November. Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airways sales last about a week.

How big is the Wizz Air Black Friday discount?

In previous years Wizz Air announced up to 20% off the base fare and around 25% for WIZZ Discount Club members; in 2024 one-way tickets were discounted by up to 30%. The discount does not apply to baggage, priority boarding or seat selection. The airline announces the exact 2026 percentage on the day of the sale.

Does the Black Friday discount apply to flights from Kutaisi?

Wizz Air sales usually cover the whole network, including flights from Kutaisi to Larnaca, Warsaw, Milan, Prague, Budapest and other destinations. Whether Pegasus and AJet sales include international flights changes from year to year — check the terms on the official website when the sale is announced.

Can I get a refund on a ticket bought on Black Friday?

Mostly no. Sale tickets from low-cost carriers (Wizz Air, Pegasus, AJet) are non-refundable, and changing the date or name costs a fee that sometimes exceeds the ticket price. So only buy a sale ticket for dates you are sure about.

Is it worth waiting for Black Friday if the ticket is cheaper now?

No — if you see a good price for your dates today, buy it. Black Friday discounts apply to a limited number of seats and only to certain travel periods, and by the end of November the price may rise by more than the discount. Waiting makes sense only if your dates are flexible and the base fare is high anyway.

Can I “hold” a sale ticket and pay for it later?

With low-cost carriers this is generally not possible — the price is fixed only at the moment of payment. Some airlines offer a paid fare-hold service, but its availability on sale fares is not guaranteed. The most reliable approach is to settle your dates before the sale and pay straight away.

What if the price drops even further after I buy?

On sale tickets, the price difference is generally not refunded — the price is fixed at the moment of purchase. That is why a “regular” price noted in advance helps you decide quickly: if the discount is real and the dates work for you, buy it and don’t wait for an even lower price.

Can I buy a Black Friday ticket through avia.ge?

Yes — on flights.avia.ge you can compare airline prices in one search, or call us on 551 907 907. Keep in mind that some sale fares (for example, Pegasus and AJet Black Friday prices) are available only on the airline’s official website and app.
