How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Nelson
Your trip to Nelson kicks off as soon as you’ve satisfied all the security checks. Here are a few useful tips to make sure you get through quickly:

  • Airport security will request to see your travel ID and boarding pass at the checkpoint. Keep them in a convenient place, ready for inspection.
  • Be aware that belts with metal buckles can set off the body scanner’s alarms. If you’re wearing one, you may be asked to take it off before proceeding.
  • All laptops must be taken out of their protective carry bags and placed in a tray before being scanned.
  • Flying with a new perfume? As long as it’s no greater 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.
  • Construction boots and other cumbersome shoes are likely to be X-rayed at the security checkpoint. It might be wise to wear simple sneakers instead.
  • Some destinations have strict biosecurity laws. Think about where you’re off to and whether or not you’re permitted to fly with fresh fruit and meat.

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.
