Bargains are being offered up as part of the sales tradition picked up from the United States’ post-Thanksgiving tradition – and are expected to be bigger than Boxing Day.

Intrepid Travel Asia Pacific regional director Brett Mitchell said the sales will be bigger than those on Boxing Day.
‘While the Cyber Sale has traditionally been an American concept, we’ve noticed that it has been picking up momentum in Australia, like Christmas in July and Halloween.
‘We’ve also noticed a shift in booking patterns and demand for deals at this time of year so it makes a lot of sense to bring our biggest sale of the year forward a month and give our travellers an early Christmas present,’ he said.
