How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Santa Cruz
If you like the idea of spending more time at the airport cafes and less time moving through security on your way to Santa Cruz, just follow these helpful tips:

  • Airport security staff will request to see your boarding pass and travel ID upon arrival. Put them in an accessible place, ready for inspection.
  • It’s important to know that belts with metal buckles can set off the body scanner’s alarms. If you’re wearing one, you may be asked to step back and remove it before moving on.
  • Digital cameras, laptops and other electronic devices must be placed in a bin to be X-rayed.
  • When you approach the security checkpoint, you’ll be asked to put all creams, gels and liquids in a separate tub for scanning. Make sure they’re all packed in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and sealed in a clear zip-lock bag.
  • Give some thought to the type of footwear you want to travel in. Slippers are great because they’re easy to step out of when you’re doing the airport security checks. Try wearing a pair on your next flight!
  • Pack any pocketknives or other dangerous items inside your checked luggage. Security won’t allow such things in carry-on baggage.

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.
