How to survive the flight to South Lake Tahoe?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be zooming through airport security and enjoying South Lake Tahoe before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you’ll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you’ll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
  • Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to South Lake Tahoe?
The answer is simple — be organized. We’ve pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out South Lake Tahoe, here you come:

  • Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents handy. They’re the first items you’ll be asked for by security.
  • Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
  • There’s a possibility that you’ll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
