Very basic accommodation
"A very basic hotel. It’s clean, but the rooms have the barest of comforts. I stayed in a two story building with doors at either end and you hear every exit and entry as if it’s in your room. Not pleasant at all. Also don’t understand why there are no trees."

  • Keep your boarding pass and travel ID easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be told to produce by airport security staff.
  • Remove your jewellery, belt and shoes before approaching the airport security checkpoint. Items like these are not permitted to pass through the body scanner.
  • Ensure your laptop, phone and other electronic devices are easily accessible. These items need to be sent through the X-ray machine in separate trays.
  • Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as it’s not bigger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it’s stored in a clear resealable plastic bag, you can keep it in your hand luggage.
  • Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often X-rayed by airport security. We suggest wearing lightweight sneakers instead.
  • Pocketknives and corkscrews are not permitted on board the aircraft. Put them in your checked luggage to avoid leaving them at the airport security checkpoint.

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.
