How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Shanghai
Your adventure to Shanghai starts as soon as you’ve finished all the security checks. Here is a list of tips and pointers to help you get through quickly:

  • Security staff will request to see your boarding pass and passport at the checkpoint. Put them in a convenient place, ready for inspection.
  • You’ll have to stop the music for a little while. Earphones and headphones must be removed and placed in a tray for X-raying. The same goes for items such as keys and coins.
  • Electronic devices such as laptops, tablets and phones need to be put through the X-ray machine separately. Be sure they’re easily accessible.
  • Hand cream, toothpaste and other toiletry items in cream, liquid or gel form need to be stored in containers smaller than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also fit in a 1-quart (1-liter) clear zip-lock plastic bag.
  • Think about the type of footwear you want to travel in. Slippers are great because they’re a cinch to remove when you’re at the security checkpoint. Try wearing some on your next journey!
  • Pocketknives and corkscrews are prohibited inside the aircraft. Pack them in your checked luggage to avoid them being confiscated at the airport security checkpoint.

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.

*According to flight demand on Travelocity.ca from January to December 2021. Savings are subject to change and may vary depending on selections made.
