How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Santa Monica
These useful tips and hints about airport security will save you lots of time on your trip to Santa Monica:

  • Make sure you know the whereabouts of your boarding pass and passport. You don’t want to hold up the queue when you’re asked to hand them over.
  • You’ll need to stop the music for a short while. Headphones and earphones need to be removed and placed in a tray to be X-rayed. The same applies to items such as belts and heavy jackets.
  • Electronic goods such as laptops, cameras and phones need to be put through the X-ray machine separately. Be sure you can get to them quickly.
  • Hand cream, toothpaste and other toiletry items in liquid, gel or cream form need to be stored in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also fit in a 1-quart (1-liter) clear zip-lock bag.
  • Undo your shoelaces before approaching the body scanner. Depending on the sort of shoes you’re wearing, security may tell you to remove them.
  • Some places have strict biosecurity laws. Consider where you’re journeying to and whether or not you can travel with unpackaged foods.

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.
