  • You’ll need to stop the tunes for a few minutes. Headphones need to be taken off and put in a tub to be X-rayed. The same applies to items such as belts and heavy jackets.
  • Laptops must be taken out of their carry bags and placed in a tray before being X-rayed.
  • When you approach the security checkpoint, you’ll be asked to place all liquids, gels and creams in a separate bin for scanning. Make sure they’re all stored in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and sealed in a clear zip-lock bag.
  • Safety boots and other heavy shoes are likely to be X-rayed at the security checkpoint. Consider wearing simple sneakers instead.
  • Some countries have stringent biosecurity laws. Consider where you’re headed to and whether or not you’re allowed to fly 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.
