Frequently asked questions about flight ticket

Do I need a passport to fly within Canada?

No, you do not need to bring your passport when you are on a domestic flight in Canada. However, you will need to present valid Canadian identification when boarding. The name on it must match the name on your plane ticket and boarding pass.

You will need to show either one piece of photo ID with your full name and date of birth, or two pieces of ID with your name, including one with your full name and date of birth. In both cases, the identification must have been issued by the federal, provincial, or territorial government. They must be valid and not expired. Several documents are accepted, including a passport, health card or permanent resident card. A complete list of accepted parts can be found on the Government of Canada website.

If you do not have a Canadian ID, you will need to use the travel document presented when entering Canada. It could be your passport, a NEXUS card, or a US permanent resident card. A complete list is also available on the government website.

How do you find cheap flights?

Finding a cheap plane ticket can be difficult. There is no perfect formula: it’s a combination of tips and tricks that will help you save. The first thing to do is to be flexible with your dates and flight times. Prices are correlated with the number of people travelling at any given time, so flights are more expensive in the summer and winter as well as on holidays. They are also more expensive on weekends. It is therefore better to travel during the low season and take tickets in the middle of the week and even at less popular times such as early morning or late evening.

Another way to save money is to take flights with stopovers. Often, direct flights will be more expensive. Also take a look at low-cost airlines, especially if you fly short-haul or medium-haul flights and don’t plan to check baggage. Also, try to buy your tickets in advance; it is usually recommended between two and three months before your departure. Prices increase significantly if you buy at the last minute!

You can use our flight comparison tool to have a maximum of choices at the same location. And don’t forget that you can use your reward miles to save on flights.

When is the best time to book a flight?

I’m sure you’ve heard that the best time to buy a plane ticket is Tuesday in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, this is just a myth. It’s best to focus on how long it takes between the time you buy your ticket and the time you leave. In general, it is recommended to buy your tickets at least two or three months in advance. For international flights, or if you are leaving during a holiday period like Christmas or construction holidays, you should do it even earlier. You can book up to six to eight months in advance.

How do I make a flight reservation?

Booking a flight is very easy. You can use our flight comparison tool, which compiles airline data and allows you to compare offers and choose the one that works best for you. With this price comparison tool, you can easily change your travel dates, desired price range, stopovers, and extras, among others.

You can also go directly to an airline’s website, where prices are sometimes cheaper. You can also turn to a travel agent or an airline representative, who will guide you to buy the right ticket. In all cases, take the time to compare before making a final decision. Above all, pay attention to extras, such as checked baggage or seat selection, which can raise the bill quickly.

How do you book a flight with Air Miles?

Buying airline tickets with your Air Miles is very easy. First of all, you should know that only Air Miles Dreams can be used for travel. To book a flight, you must go to the Air Miles website and log in with your credentials. Then go to the “Travel” section, then “Flights” and you will have access to a flight search and booking portal. You can also book flights with your Air Miles on the RedTag website.

The number of miles required for a flight varies with market fluctuations, but you should expect to use at least 1000 miles for a short-haul flight. Take the most value out of your miles by using them on a short-haul flight. Please note that you will still have to pay all additional fees and taxes, so you will need a valid credit card to make your reservation.

Is it possible to get a refund on an airline ticket?

It depends on several factors. First of all, when you buy a plane ticket, you often have a choice between a refundable ticket and a non-refundable ticket. The refundable ticket allows you to have peace of mind if a glitch occurs, but it is significantly more expensive. With a non-refundable ticket, you won’t get your money back if you cancel, but some airlines offer instead a travel credit, which allows you to use the value of your ticket on a subsequent flight.

Refund policies vary from airline to airline. It is therefore important to be well informed about them, especially since some of them charge fees. Some situations, such as airline flight cancellations, significant delays or schedule changes, may entitle you to a refund, regardless of the type of ticket in your possession. In addition, when you book a ticket, you are generally entitled to a 24-hour grace period during which you can cancel at no cost. Many companies have also changed their policies as a result of the pandemic; find out about them before booking.

Can I book a flight with a debit card?

It is not possible to book with a regular debit card. However, with a Visa Debit or Mastercard Debit card, you will be able to do so. In addition to credit and debit cards, it may be possible to pay with a prepaid card, reward miles or even an airline gift card. Always check the payment methods accepted by the company, as this may differ.

Do I need a passport to book a flight?

At most flight and airline booking sites, your passport number will not be required when you purchase your flight ticket. However, many countries, including the United States, operate with the Advance Passenger Information System (API), which requires you to provide several pieces of information, including your passport number, at check-in. You will also need your passport when boarding on most international flights. As a result, make sure to renew your passport at least three months before your departure date.

I’m waiting for my passport. Can I still book a flight?

Yes, in most cases you will not need your passport number when booking airline tickets. However, you must make sure that the name you provide when making your reservation matches exactly the name on your passport. Also take into account the delays in receiving your passport. According to the Government of Canada’s website, the time taken to issue a passport is 10 to 20 business days, not counting the time taken to deliver it by mail. So it’s better to do it in advance.

Does travel insurance cover flight changes?

It depends on the travel insurance you have. Some programs only have medical coverage. So you need to make sure that whoever you choose offers trip cancellation or interruption insurance. With this coverage, you can be reimbursed if your flight is cancelled or delayed. However, there must be a valid reason for you to be reimbursed: for example, a disease or natural disaster. Ask the insurance company for more information.
