How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Amherst
If you like the thought of spending more time at the airport cafes and less time navigating your way through security on your way to Amherst, just follow these handy tips:

  • Make sure you know the whereabouts of your boarding pass and travel ID. You don’t want to hold up the line when you’re asked to produce them.
  • Bear in mind that belts with metal buckles can set off the body scanner’s alarms. If you have one on, you may be asked to step back and remove it before moving on.
  • Electronics such as laptops, tablets and phones will need to be put through the X-ray machine separately. Be sure they’re easily accessible.
  • Traveling with a new cologne? As long as it’s no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear resealable plastic bag, you can keep it in your hand luggage.
  • Steel-cap boots and other bulky shoes are often X-rayed at the security checkpoint. It might be wise to wear lightweight sneakers instead.
  • Put any pocketknives or other sharp items in your checked luggage. Airport security won’t permit these aboard the aircraft.

How to find cheap flights

What is the best day to buy a plane ticket?

Airfares offered on Friday tend to be the cheapest, according to flight demand on Travelocity.ca in 2021. Purchasing your airfares on a Thursday or Saturday can also provide better value, however our advice if you’re looking to save money is to avoid booking on a Wednesday or Sunday. Our data shows that those two days have the highest ticket values on average, so keep this in mind if you’re browsing flight deals.

 

What are the cheapest days to fly?

Frequent travellers may already know this, earlier in the week is often the cheapest time to fly. Flights departing on a Monday are the cheapest of the week. Since flights towards the middle of the week tend to be more popular, this causes the prices to rise. This is why, on average, airfares booked on Travelocity.ca in 2021 were most expensive for Wednesday departures.

 

How far in advance can you book a flight?

Here’s the deal: It is typically possible to start comparing international airfares on Travelocity.ca up to 12 months in advance. However, it does depend on the carrier as not all airlines release their prices that far out. According to our 2021 flight demand trends, last minute planners can still bag a bargain with some of the cheapest fares appearing 2-4 weeks prior to their travel dates.
