20 Black Friday and Cyber Monday travel deals help you save big

Bargain electronics are great, and cheap cashmere sweaters are cozy.

But if you want a Facebook-worthy Black Friday or Cyber Monday deal, shop for a vacation.

Hotels, cruise lines, airlines, online travel agencies, theme parks, spas and train-tour operators offer limited-time bargains like their retail brethren do. Even the High Roller observation wheel in Las Vegas is getting in on the act, offering buy-one-get-one-free tickets on Black Friday. But you have to be in Las Vegas that day to take advantage of it.

rab a calendar and your laptop or smartphone and start planning a discounted getaway for next month or next year, in Arizona or a far-flung destination.

The usual caveats apply: Read the fine print for blackout dates, refund policies, minimum stays and other restrictions, and pay attention to taxes and fees.

Pro tip: Shop rates for your destination ahead of the sale — say, during your post-Thanksgiving dinner food coma — so you know whether the deals are steals worth snagging. Some offers won't be posted online until the sale starts.
