Your adventure to Altoona kicks off as soon as you’ve satisfied all the security checks. We’ve summarized a few tips and pointers to make sure you pass through quickly:

  • Keep your travel ID and boarding pass somewhere accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to produce by airport security.
  • Remove your jewellery, belt and shoes before arriving at the security checkpoint. Items such as these are not permitted to pass through the body scanner.
  • Make sure your phone, laptop and other electronic devices are easy to reach. These items need to be sent through the X-ray machine in separate tubs.
  • Flying with a favorite cologne or perfume? 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 with you in your hand luggage.
  • Hiking boots and other cumbersome shoes are typically X-rayed at the security checkpoint. Think about wearing simple sneakers instead.
  • Pack any multi-tools or other sharp and pointy items inside your checked luggage. Security won’t permit these on the plane.

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.
