Gate-side basics in the Main Terminal
Plane Provisions sits in the Main Terminal at Reno Tahoe International, past the main security checkpoint, and fills the gap between the check-in counters and the gate seating. Think grab-and-go travel essentials: bottled water, packaged snacks, basic toiletries, phone chargers, and neck pillows in one compact footprint. Prices land in typical airport territory, with snack bags around $4–$6 and single drinks in the $3–$5 range.
The shop keeps airport hours, generally opening by the first bank of departures around 4:30–5:00 a.m. and staying open through the last evening flights near 10:00–11:00 p.m. That early open time helps if you reach RNO on a 6:00 a.m. departure and need toothpaste, a travel-sized deodorant, or a TSA-friendly liquid kit before boarding. You’ll also find small stationery items like pens and notepads that actually write on those glossy baggage tags.
Inventory skews practical: charging cables for both Lightning and USB‑C devices, basic over-the-counter meds sold in 2–4 tablet travel packets, and small kids’ items like coloring books that fit in a standard under‑seat backpack. Expect standard national snack brands rather than local Reno specialties, and single-serve pastries and chips instead of made-to-order food. If you want a real meal, plan on hitting a restaurant or bar in the Main Terminal instead.
Best move: do a quick pass through Plane Provisions right after security in the Main Terminal, stock up on water and any forgotten toiletries in one stop, then head straight to your gate so you’re not paying even higher prices from a smaller kiosk later.
