How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Chennai
If you like the idea of spending more time at the airport bars and restaurants and less time at the security checkpoint on your way to Chennai, just follow these useful tips:

  • Keep your travel ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked for by airport security staff.
  • Take off your belt, jewellery and shoes before approaching security. Items such as these are not allowed to pass through the body scanner.
  • Laptops, tablets and other electronic devices must be placed in separate tubs to be X-rayed.
  • Lip balm, toothpaste and other toiletry items in cream, liquid or gel form need to be stored in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They also need to fit in a 1-quart (1-liter) clear resealable bag.
  • Consider the type of footwear you want to travel in. Slippers are awesome because they’re super easy to step out of for the airport security checks. Try wearing a pair on your next journey!
  • Scissors and multi-tools are not permitted on board the plane. Pack them in your checked luggage to avoid leaving them at the 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.
