How to skip the airport security lines: Mobile Passport app and CLEAR

Nowadays, one of the fastest and most convenient ways to avoid airport queues in the USA is to get the Mobile Passport app, which provides citizens of Canada and the US with a simplified alternative to the traditional security screening before boarding a flight, whether it is a commercial or a private one. All that travellers who have downloaded the Mobile Passport app must do is submitting their Canadian or US passport details and declaration information (just like they would do when filling in the paper form handed by cabin crew on board) to Customs and Border Protection online to be authorised and admitted into the fast lane area.

The download from the App Store or Google Play is free, although you can get additional features like an automated document scanner and the possibility to save passport profiles for quicker processes by downloading the Mobile Passport Plus version, which costs 14.99USD per year. Since you will need to send your info each and every time you travel, this option seems interesting for frequent flyers.

How does the Mobile Passport app work?

Whenever you start your submission before a trip, take into account two mandatory conditions: you must be able to connect your device to a WiFi network and it should be done no earlier than four hours before the time you plan to go through security, as this is the interval during which your admission will remain active.

First and foremost, you will need to complete your profile with all the information in your passport required by the app; this will be encrypted and only visible to Customs Border Protection. Secondly, you will be asked to give some details about your destination and travel purpose to get a receipt with a personal encrypted barcode. That will be your key to the dedicated Mobile Passport fast lane to security at the airport after a CBP officer scans it.

Where can I use the Mobile Passport app?

For the time being, Mobile Passport is operational at major airports across the United States such as Chicago O’hare, Denver International, Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles, Miami, Newark, Philadelphia, Boston Logan, Washington Dulles, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle, among others. We recommend that you confirm whether or not you can use it at your origin airport before you fly.

Skipping airport security lines with CLEAR

CLEAR program memberships are available to travellers who are 18 year old or older and are in possession of a US Passport or Driver’s License, are permanent residents or own a State Issued ID, among other exceptions. Your offspring who are under 18 can use the CLEAR lanes with you when you travel as a family without the need to join.

How does CLEAR work?

The CLEAR program relies on biometrics (your fingerprints and irises) to confirm your identity and approve your admission to the fast security lanes as a non-risk traveller. When your fingerprints and eyes are scanned, your biometrics are translated into an encryption that will only match your features, in such a way that you could never be mistaken for anybody else, and nobody could ever be mistaken for you. Every time you fly, your biometrics will be checked against the records in a matter of seconds, and then you are ready to go.

In order to become an approved member of CLEAR, visit your nearest enrolment location or speed up your registration by submitting some of the information required online. The annual fee is 179 USD.

Which airports in the US have CLEAR lanes?

Most airports in the United States have integrated the CLEAR program in their security procedures; if your airport does not have a specifically designated CLEAR lane, check whether you are allowed to use the Global Entry/ TSA Precheck lanes as is the case with some locations.

Which are the best cities in the United States to travel to?

North America is full of splendid landscapes, mountains and hiking routes that delight nature lovers, but it cannot be denied that it also has some of the greatest metropolitan areas in the planet: concrete jungles filled with skyscrapers, iconic monuments and neon lights that have become the dream of urban travellers from all over the globe. If, after flipping through the pages of a catalogue of beach holiday packages, you still prefer to take a city trip in the United States, read our recommendations below so as to find out which the best cities in the USA for a tourist trip are.

You may already be dreaming of New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas and all the clichés you have heard about them; however, we would like you to plan your city break as though you were an insider, from a local perspective, which is undoubtedly the best way to truly discover a new place. It does not matter if you travel solo, on a tight budget, for just a weekend, with your partner or with friends, or even if you are looking for a luxury experience in a big city, we will help you to make the most out of your trip to the United States according to the type of traveller you are.

The best cities for tourism in the United States

Visiting Boston, the capital city of Massachusetts

Boston is one of the cities in the USA with the longest history, and outstandingly rich in culture, arts and education. If you are a US citizen, it is highly likely that you take a trip to Boston to visit one of its University colleges – Emerson, Harvad, Hult or Roxbury-, yet even so you should make some time to enjoy the open-air concerts organised at its many parks, take a brewery or a food tour and explore the Beacon Hill neighbourhood to take some outstanding Instagram pictures. Feel already invited to join the local life, since Boston is a diverse city where you can meet people anywhere, whether it is a fitness gathering or a Gospel festival. Notwithstanding that, if you are a sports fan and want to live the tourist life as well, include spots like Fenway Park –the home stadium of the legendary baseball team the Red Sox- in your travel itinerary.

A trip to Atlanta in the state of Georgia

When looking for a United States city where you can disconnect from the world, relax and enrol in plenty of free activities, Atlanta might just be the right place. While visiting do not miss out on Piedmont Park, the Atlanta Botanical Garden, Centennial Olympic Park, the historical Fox Theater, Oakland Cemetery or Stone Mountain Park, which affords breathtaking city views. If you are travelling with kids, we advise you to go to the Georgia Aquarium and join walking or cycling tours around the city whereas, if you are a passionate foodie, we strongly encourage you to try the traditional fried chicken at Paschal’s as well as to stop by the popular Busy Bee Cafe.

Travelling to Chicago in the United States

Windy City –as Chicago is commonly referred to- has long been known as one of the major arts and entertainment hubs within the country. Today, it is the host city of the acclaimed Lollapalooza summer music festival, but in order to delve into the roots of the music scene of Chicago you should go to nightclubs such as the Green Mill, Blue Chicago, the Hideout, Empty Bottle or Reggies. Getting around town is easy thanks to effective network of CTA buses, although you may use Uber services as well. During the day, take a stroll along the Riverwalk, or hire a bike and explore the city from Humboldt Park to Lincoln Park.

Visiting Washington DC, the capital city of the United States

History students and scholars simply cannot miss out on the capital of the USA, which must not be confused with the state of Washington. For disambiguation purposes, this US city is officially called Washington DC, that is, adding the abbreviation for “District of Columbia”. The mandatory visit to the Capitol can be complemented by a trip through the underground passage that leads to the largest library in the world: the Library of Congress. Do not forget the White House, the Lincoln Memorial, the National Gallery of Art or the National Museum of Natural History, but if you really want to see Washington DC in a different light, take a ride on the Big Bus DC Panoramic Tour at night.

A trip to Seattle in USA

Often overlooked in favour of other big metropolises in North America, Seattle and its diverse urban culture awaits in the Northwest region of the Pacific Coast as part of Washington State. While in Seattle, you will feel like you blend in walking around Chinatown, or eating and shopping among locals in the Ballard neighbourhood; take the elevator at the Space Needle and get breathtaking views of the Cascade Mountains, and if you want to commute to the downtown, ride the Seattle centre monorail. In case you are seeking trendy plans, we suggest going to the Museum of Pop Culture or spending an afternoon in the Pike Place Market.

Would you rather take a tourist trip to New York, Los Angeles or Las Vegas? Use the search box at the bottom of this page to find all the information you need without leaving this site.

Also, bear in mind that visitors from many countries must apply for the ESTA travel authorisation when they travel under the Visa Waiver Program before they can be admitted into the USA for tourism purposes. Learn more about the Electronic System for Travel Authorization.

Which is the best Canary Island for your holiday trip?

Unless you are lucky enough to get the opportunity to tour the whole archipelago, when you decide to visit the Canary Islands in Spain for the first time it will invariably take you some time to discern which island in the Canaries suits your interests and preferences best. Aside from the fact that they all originated from volcanic activity and common features such as their gastronomy and sub-tropical climate, it is safe to say that each Canary Island is a micro-world in itself, with its own pace and way of living, its unique landscape and its distinguishing lifestyle.

In this post, we are going to help you find out which is the best Canary Island to travel to according to your taste. For instance, water sports lovers and surfers normally choose Fuerteventura for their trip, while those seeking a peaceful retreat typically go to Lanzarote; Tenerife caters to the needs of luxury travellers and offers a wide choice of travel experiences and, on the other hand, Gran Canaria is more nature and culture-oriented. The minor islands in the Santa Cruz Province –El Hierro, La Gomera and La Palma- are primarily visited by hikers, adventure travellers, wine lovers and astronomy students.

All that being said, we must admit that we would lie if we did not acknowledge that all of them have something to make everyone happy, and so backpackers, vacation lovers, urban travellers, beach addicts, foodies, digital nomads, children and adults can find their small piece of paradise on earth regardless of the corner of this Spanish archipelago they land in. However, if your holiday trip will last for just a few days or a week in such a way that there won’t be too much time to explore, let us help you discover the best destination in the Canary Islands for you.

Gran Canaria

The municipalities in northern Gran Canaria preserve the charm of old customs and traditions related to architecture, gastronomy and handicrafts, so roaming its small towns and quarters is an ideal plan for the early mornings. Museums, theatres, shopping malls, city hotels and the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium await in its buzzing capital, all within short distance of Las Canteras, considered as one of the best urban beaches in the world, although if the typical island retreat is what you are after, you will certainly find it in the south: Playa del Inglés, Maspalomas and its popular dunes and Puerto de Mogán are some of our recommendations. If you are into walking tours and nature trips, know that there are hiking trails all over the island.

Lanzarote

Lanzarote is probably the island of the Canaries in Spain where the volcanic origin of the archipelago becomes more evident: lava stone deserted landscapes are common, creating a beautiful contrast with the small white houses and the pristine sea waters bordering them. For a beach trip, go to Playa del Papagayo, Costa Teguise, Playa Blanca or Famara, but do not forget to make time for a visit to Jameos del Agua, the Cesar Manrique Foundation, Timanfaya National Park or the Cactus Garden.

Tenerife

For many, Tenerife is the best Canary Island for a tourist trip due to the wide range of hotels and resorts catering to holiday goers and beach lovers located in Costa Adeje, Los Gigantes, Puerto de la Cruz and Santa Cruz, for instance. Luxury travellers who appreciate VIP hospitality and parties may consider staying at the Hard Rock Tenerife hotel. This island is the largest one in the archipelago, and in turn home to the highest peak in Spain –Mount Teide-, in such a way that it combines different landscapes and even distinct climates.

Fuerteventura

Anybody who has visited Fuerteventura before is already acquainted with the fact that it is the place to go in the Canary Islands for water sports and surf lovers. Furthermore, the Corralejo Dunes National Park has been declared a Protected Natural Reserve of the Biosphere, and it is a mandatory stop when touring this island. With some other highlights like the Oasis Wildlife Park in the south, Fuerteventura is eminently residential and offers both self-catered apartments for visitors and 5-star hotels like the Gran Atlantis Bahia Real; for something in between, we recommend the coastal zone of Costa Calma.

La Gomera

Taking a trip to La Gomera can be a great choice knowing that, as one of the minor islands in the Santa Cruz Province of the Canaries, beaches such as Playa de Santiago, San Sebastián or Valle Gran Rey are considerably less crowded than the ones in the capital islands. Other highlights of a visit to La Gomera could be Garajonay Natural Park, a boat excursion for whale spotting or a hike up its green mountains.

El Hierro

El Hierro is the smallest of the Canary Islands and so we recommend that you include it as part of a tour to make the most of your trip. That being said, as a 100% sustainable island it is worth visiting but most of all worth taking care of. Take advantage of this opportunity to put responsible tourism into practice and enjoy its small towns, swim in its natural seawater pools, and climb to its many viewpoints to soak in the views of stunning protected virgin landscapes.

La Palma

As was the case with La Gomera, the beaches in La Palma island are hardly ever crowded and mostly frequented by locals: some of the best ones are Nogales, Charco Verde and Bajamar. La Palma or “the beautiful island” -as it is commonly referred to- invites you to immerse yourself in nature and tradition, as it boasts vast green areas, several viewpoints and the most typical canarian houses with their characteristic balconies. Some travellers schedule their trip to La Palma only to visit its Astronomical Observatory in Roque de Los Muchachos.

La Graciosa

For a long time, La Graciosa was considered just an islet of less than 800 inhabitants, but its unique beauty has finally led it to be recognised as the eight island in the archipelago of the Canary Islands, even attracting tourists to its lands. If you are planning a trip to La Graciosa in the Canaries, you may choose to stay either in a holiday apartment or in a hotel at the municipality of Teguise –Lanzarote– only one kilometer away.

Trip preparation checklist

How do you prepare for a trip? Have you ever forgotten something essential to avoid trouble abroad or to travel comfortably? Experienced travelers are well acquainted with the fact that all smooth and pleasant trips have one thing in common: a thorough checklist made well in advance before traveling. But what does this list need to include? Is it valid for all destinations? It would be safe to answer “yes”, take note of our recommendations for a trip preparation checklist below and keep it handy for all your upcoming adventures. Revising it every time you start thinking about your next destination will ensure that you won’t overlook any important requirement and will get everything you need prior to your departure.

Prepare for your next travels with this vacation or trip checklist

Book your accommodation well in advance

Secure a safe place to stay during your trip as soon as possible. Bear in mind that nightly rates generally go up as your arriving date approaches. Before making a reservation, search for hotels that will cater to your needs, are close to your interests and seem to offer good value for money. Reliable hotel booking websites will let you modify or cancel your stay without penalty as long as you do it between 24 and 48 hours prior to your scheduled arrival.

Search for flights and book with the best airline covering your route

In order to find the lowest airfare with an airline operating flights to your destination, you can use a flight price comparison website. However, don’t reserve a seat until you have checked what is included in the final fare (the luggage allowance, snacks, assigned seats, etc.). In this case, the same rules of hotel booking applies: the earlier you get your flights, the better the deals.

Check whether you need a Visa, Permit or Tourist Card to enter your destination

If entering the country you plan to visit requires a travel visa, tourist card or some kind of permit, note that you should apply for your document soon, since processing visas for visitors with a foreign passport may take up to several months. Planning ahead will ensure that you will have received your permit by the time you depart.

Learn about health and vaccination requirements

Many destinations still ask travelers to show proof of their current health condition and vaccination status, and a few may still require you to quarantine for a period of time before being admitted into the territory. It is also advisable that you carry written prescriptions by a doctor if you are carrying any type of medication with you.

Purchase a travel health insurance plan

You should always buy specific medical insurance for your travels, especially when planning long stays abroad. Today, you may even find multi-country health insurance plans for international tourists and business travelers. Learn more by watching the video (text continues below).

Make sure you have suitable clothing for your trip

You might be travelling somewhere with very cold weather, to a tropical part of the earth with dry climate and high temperatures, or something in between where you will be smart enough to wear layers of clothing. Also pay attention to what you will be doing: meeting clients (or bosses), walking long distances or practising extreme sports and choose your clothes accordingly. Don’t forget your portable travel iron to look impeccabble all the time.

Keep a printed copy of your passport and plane tickets in your hand luggage

Printed copies of your documentation, plane tickets and hotel reservations will come handy if your smartphone suddenly stops working or runs out of battery. In other words, don’t rely solely on your devices for crucial steps of your trip like boarding the plane or checking in at the hotel, and take photos of your belongings inside your bags just in case they get lost.

Get cash in the local currency of your destination

Visit your bank or the bureau the change counter at your home airport to purchase foreign currency that you can use just like a local in the city you will be visiting. Think that small stores and restaurants may not accept international debit or credit cards, especially if you plan to explore non-touristy towns.

Arrange airport transfers and shuttle services before getting there

You will surely need some means of transportation to go from the airport terminal to your hotel, and from your hotel to a congress venue, for instance. For a smoother trip, book all your rides while you are still home, and print out the confirmation e-mails with your itineraries and schedules.

Put battery chargers and powerbanks in your hand and checked luggage

No matter if you travel for work or for leisure: nobody wants to miss the chance to come back home with the coolest photos and videos. When you pack your bags, put USB chargers and powerbanks in both your checked and your cabin luggage so that you can keep the battery of your digital camera and electronic devices fully charged at all times.

Download useful travel mobile apps

In order to stay informed while in transit, it would be ideal to download your airline app, as well as any other relevant mobile applications related to transport, health regulations, activities or city guides of your final destination.

Transport from Las Vegas airport to the Strip

Is fabulous Las Vegas your next destination? If you are already planning your trip to Sin City, you are probably trying to figure out how to get from McCarran International airport to your hotel in Las Vegas Strip or its surroundings. The public and private shuttle options are varied, yet equally fast and easy to access from the terminals.

Travelling by taxi to and from Las Vegas airport in USA

Should you decide to take a taxi upon arrival, you will need to go either to the east-side exit of the baggage claim area in T1 or to the parking lot on the zero floor in T3. Join the queue if there are other passengers waiting, as airport staff will diligently indicate when your turn comes and which cab you must get into and you will be on your way in no time.

Bear in mind that most taxi drivers only accept cash and that all ride fares have a surcharge of 2 US dollars if you hop into the cab next to the airport terminals. If you are a group of more than five travellers, you won’t be allowed to travel together in just one car.

Public bus lines from McCarran International airport to Las Vegas city

Buses covering the routes 108, 109 and Westcliff Airport Express depart from Terminal 1 (floor zero) towards different points of the city. As for Terminal 3, the available bus lines are Westcliff Airport Express and Centennial Express, departing from the termini located on the second floor. You are advised to visit this link to check their schedules beforehand and, most importantly, whether they stop near your hotel in Las Vegas or not.

Booking a shuttle transfer to and from the airport to save money in Vegas

Provided that the transfer from and to the passenger terminal is not included in your hotel rate, you can always book a ride in a group shuttle at a reduced price, sharing a van with other travellers yet most likely being dropped off right at the very entrance of your chosen accommodation in The Strip.

Shuttle vans can be found next to the bus stops in both terminals. For further assistance on how to use this service, head to the information points of the airport.

Going from Las Vegas airport to The Strip

Where to stay in Capri, Italy

Frequently chosen as the ideal destination for a luxury escape or retreat both by Italians and by travellers coming from virtually every corner of the world, the island of Capri in Italy -situated in the Campania region-, does provide the perfect setting for a trip to an idyllic place where one can unwind in front of stunning sea views. Among its main allures we count the Marina Grande, the town of Anacapri on the hills, the promenade known as Belvedere of Tragara, the Imperial Roman Villas ruins and the Grotta Azzurra cave, all of them natural attractions complemented by the local architecture, churches and museums. In order for you to find the perfect place to stay during your holiday in Capri, we have selected different types of accommodation in the Italian island, which will be described below.

How to get to Capri in Italy

If you are thinking of travelling to Capri, know that the closest international airports are Naples and Salerno; notwithstanding that, many tourists who visit nearby locations like Positano, Amalfi and Sorrento decide to take a trip by ferry boat to Capri, thus reaching the port of Marina Grande in just forty minutes or in a bit more than one hour if their boat departs from Naples. For travellers who purchase tickets to commute by hydrofoil, the journey is reduced by half. Once at the port, you can take a bus to Anacapri or other municipalities, or else commute by funicular to the town centre up on the hills.

Holiday in Capri: Palazzo a Mare bed & breakfast

Conveniently located a short walk away from the beach and less than one kilometre from the Marina Grande port, the Palazzo a Mare provides guests with private airport transfers so that they can start enjoying their stay in their cosy double room or fully-equipped studio apartment as soon as they arrive in the island. The property is run by helpful managers who are proficient in English and can give directions and advice to tour Capri on your own. The bus stop from which services to the centre depart is also within walking distance. Although you will be able to cook meals in the comfort of your room in this bed and breakfast accommodation in Capri, there is a local restaurant right across the street, and while you stay inside the facilities you will benefit from other amenities such as free wireless internet, an open-air terrace, flat-screen TV, air conditioning and kitchenette.

4-star hotel in Capri: the San Michele

According to visitors, what truly stands out in this exclusive establishment is the opportunity to relax and enjoy breathtaking views, no matter if you are inside your room or having your first meal of the day at the onsite restaurant. As a matter of fact, the dining facilities of this property –where a varied buffet breakfast is served every morning and delicious Mediterranean dishes are prepared throughout the day- afford a privileged view over Naples Bay. The guest rooms in this hotel in Capri are fully fitted yet they can be upgraded so that you get better garden or sea vistas. Extra amenities include complimentary shuttle service towards the port and the city centre (buses depart from outside the entrance of the hotel), an onsite bar where live music performances are hosted at night and a swimming pool, to mention but a few. During afternoon and evening strolls, travellers can benefit from the proximity of a shopping mall and local restaurants specialising in traditional Mediterranean cuisine.

3-star hotel in Capri, Italy: the Bellavista

Superbly located in central Anacapri, this hospitality establishment allows for a comfortable stay with the peace of mind of being close to every site of interest in Capri. Transfers are made easy by means of airport shuttle services for guests (for an additional fee) as well as other transport arrangements. Guest rooms feature private balconies providing either fantastic views over the bay or to the beautiful gardens surrounding the property. Furthermore, travellers sleeping in this hotel in Capri will be entitled to other privileges such as free WiFi internet, en suite bathrooms, satellite TV, complimentary parking spots and continental breakfast in bed. As far as occupancy is concerned, units are categorised into single, double and suites. If you are travelling on your own and would like to join tours and activities while in the island, you can get information about the options available and enrol at the front desk.

Airplane spotting in Los Angeles, California: the In-N-Out Burger at LAX

Do you consider yourself an aviation spotter? If you love tracking the movement of aircrafts on that mobile app you downloaded, can already identify different airplane models as well as describe its characteristics and either regularly or occasionally visit the vicinity of airports in order to take pictures of planes taking off and landing, let me tell you that you may call yourself a plane spotter.

The number of aviation lovers worldwide has increased to a point that many airports have enabled specific areas for plane spotters to enjoy their passion. However, those passing through Los Angeles International airport get the chance to do it in a whole different way: while eating a hamburger at the famous In-N-out restaurant right by LAX, with aircrafts touching down close to the place. In this post, we will tell you where it is located, how to get to the In-N-Out at LAX and even what you can eat during your visit to this singular viewpoint.

The In-N-Out restaurant in Los Angeles airport: location, opening hours and how to arrive

Located at 9149 S Sepulveda Boulevard, north of the terminals and closest to T1, T6 and T7 (Tom Bradley International terminal being the one that is furthest), you will find the restaurant on the Sepulveda sidewalk, going past the Economy Parking Lot C and the airport’s car rental offices. It stays open from 10:30 to 1:00 every day of the week, extending their working hours until 1:30 on Fridays and Saturdays. Take into account that there is another In-n-Out in Sepulveda south which will not offer such good views.

Whether you are a plane spotter having a short layover in LAX or you are taking a trip to California, you might be wondering how to get to the In-N-Out in Los Angeles airport to take the most stunning aviation pictures. Well, despite being so close to the terminals, we must admit that probably the easiest way to reach this spot is driving from downtown LA or Hollywood while you are staying there.

If you are transiting through Los Angeles airport and have a few hours to spare, just take a taxi to the In-N-Out at LAX and back. The minimum fare is 15USD that will be totally worth it: you will be able to have a delicious burger or milkshake in an incredible setting while getting truly unique airplane photos or simply enjoying the views. If we recommend this is because walking across parking lots and intersections might be dangerous or put you through unnecessary trouble when you need to be fresh and ready for your next flight, and the free shuttle to the parking lot/vehicle rental officces is exclusively designated for customers (proof will be required).

Should you decide to walk, know that you will have to allow at least twenty minutes if you are going from Terminal 1 or 2 of LAX to the In-n-Out viewpoint on foot, and perhaps a bit more than that if you are walking from terminals 5, 6, 7 or 8.

The In-N-Out burger at LAX: what to eat and what to do

Maybe you have already been to an establishment belonging to the In-N-Out chain; in case you have not, we recommend you order one of their popular ice-cream milkshakes or one serving of their freshly hand-cut French fries. Other than that, they have their own signature burgers, soda drinks, coffee, hot chocolate, soft drinks and combos.

At the In-N-Out in Los Angeles airport, you may choose to sit inside (from where you also get to see planes approaching) or in the outdoor terrace with parasols. Alternatively, and even when this is likely to make your visit shorter, there are also drive-through lanes so that you can place your order and collect your food without stepping out of your car.
