How to survive the flight to Tahoe City?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your flight to Tahoe City could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We’ve compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let’s start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You’ll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don’t forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won’t be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
  • Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Tahoe City?
Being organised before your flight will help make your trip to Tahoe City easy and painless. Check out our handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you’re allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you’ll be back online in no time.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won’t be allowed in the cabin.
