How to get through airport security fast when traveling to Washington
These useful tips and hints about airport security checks will save you plenty of time on your way to Washington:

  • Have your boarding pass and travel ID easily accessible. They’ll be the first things you’ll be instructed to produce by security staff.
  • You’ll have to stop the music for a few minutes. Headphones need to be taken off and put in a tub to be X-rayed. The same goes for items such as keys and coins.
  • All laptops must be removed from their protective cases and placed in a tub for inspection.
  • When it comes to traveling with gels and liquids, each passenger is permitted a quart-sized clear resealable bag to keep containers no bigger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).
  • Consider the type of footwear you want to fly in. Slippers are awesome because they’re easy to remove when you’re doing the airport security checks. Try wearing some on your next journey!
  • Pocketknives and corkscrews are prohibited inside the plane. Put them in your checked luggage to avoid them being confiscated 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.
