How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Dar es Salaam
If you like the thought of spending more time at the airport bars and restaurants and less time wading through security on your way to Dar es Salaam, just follow these practical tips:

  • Security personnel will expect to see your boarding pass and passport upon arrival. Tuck them away in a convenient place, so they’re ready for inspection.
  • You’ll have to stop the tunes for a few minutes. Earphones need to be removed and placed in a tray for X-raying. The same goes for items such as belts and heavy jackets.
  • Electronic goods such as laptops, phones and cameras are always put through the X-ray machine separately. Be sure to have them within easy reach.
  • When you get to the security checkpoint, you’ll be asked to place all creams, gels and liquids in a separate tub for inspection. Make sure they’re all in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and sealed in a clear zip-lock bag.
  • Airport security staff will likely tell you to take off your shoes in preparation for entering the body scanner. Choose a pair that you can take off easily. There’s nothing worse than having to do up your laces again and again.
  • The list of prohibited items is forever updating. Check with your carrier’s official website for what is not allowed on board their 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.

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

Flights To Dar es Salaam

Although it ceded capital status to Dodoma in 1996, the important port city of Dar es Salaam remains the largest city in Tanzania and an important center of trade, culture, and politics. This dynamic city boasts everything from an eclectic architectural melange to beautiful beaches to bustling markets, and is an exciting stop on any East African adventure. Flights to Dar es Salaam land at Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR), so book your tickets here.

Transportation from DAR

You can find several hotels located in the close vicinity of DAR, or travel into the city to find a hotel in Dar es Salaam. Travelers landing on Dar es Salaam flights will be greeted by a swarm of taxis just outside the doors of the terminal. Be sure to agree on a fare before getting into the cab. There is usually a set rate in dollars for non-residents, but if you pay in Tanzanian shillings, you might be able to get a better deal. Many hotels offer airport transfer upon request and will send a driver to greet you with a sign. If you're easily overwhelmed or hate to haggle, this is probably your best course of action. You can also catch a ride into town on one of the city buses, which stop less than half a mile away from the terminal entrance. Once you're in town, there are so many sights to see and places to explore. Visit the open air Village Museum, where you can experience traditional Tanzanian life and watch a tribal dance.
