Do you have any tips for my flight to South Lake Tahoe?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and seeing the best of South Lake Tahoe in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to South Lake Tahoe?
A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to South Lake Tahoe a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

  • Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
  • After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
  • Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
