  • Keep in mind that belts with metal buckles can set off the body scanner’s alarms. If you’re wearing one, you may be told to take it off before proceeding.
  • Ensure your laptop, phone and other electronic devices are within reach. These items need to be sent through the X-ray machine in separate bins.
  • When it comes to traveling with gels and liquids, all passengers are permitted a quart-sized clear zip-lock bag to keep containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
  • Untie your shoelaces in preparation for entering the body scanner. Depending on the style of shoes you’re wearing, security may tell you to take them off.
  • Put any pocketknives or other pointy items inside your checked luggage. Airport security won’t allow 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.
