For travellers, the date can change in the air. A flight that leaves before Black Friday and lands after it can skip the day or repeat a part of it.

About Black Friday
Black Friday is the day after US Thanksgiving, and it opens the holiday shopping season. Many shops open early, and some stretch their deals over the whole week.
Dates like this one stay useful long after they have passed. Knowing how many days remain helps you book travel, order gifts, take leave and prepare in good time.
Planning for Black Friday
Start with the weeks. If Black Friday is a long way off, plan in months. As it gets close, switch to days and then hours, and keep a short list for each stage.
Sleeps are a good way to count for children. Each night is one sleep, and the tile shows how many remain until Black Friday.
If you want last year's date, the section on the last and next one has it. Both show the weekday, so you can compare how the year differs.

Public notices change from time to time. For anything official, treat this page as a guide and confirm the date with the authority that sets it.
