How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Kaikoura
These handy hints and tips about airport security procedures will save you plenty of time on your journey to Kaikoura:

  • Security personnel will expect to see your boarding pass and passport upon arrival. Store them in an accessible place, so they’re all ready for inspection.
  • Be aware that metal belt buckles can set off the body scanner’s alarms. If you’re wearing one, you may be told to remove it before continuing.
  • Electronic goods such as laptops, tablets and phones need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Be sure you can get to them quickly.
  • When you approach the security checkpoint, you’ll be asked to place all creams, liquids and gels in a separate tray for inspection. Make sure they’re all stored in containers smaller than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and sealed in a clear zip-lock bag.
  • Give some thought to the type of footwear you want to travel in. Slippers are great because they’re super easy to step out of when you’re at the security checkpoint. Try wearing some on your next journey!
  • Some destinations have strict quarantine laws. Think about where you’re headed 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.
