Want more than the typical fast-food experience for your flight after working up an appetite on the mountain bike trails in Tahoe South? The new B4YouBoard app from HMS Host lets passengers at Sacramento International Airport do just that.

Maybe you want to squeeze in one more Tahoe South trail before heading to the airport. Or maybe you’d rather just skip the drive-thru and have a real meal while waiting for your flight once you reach Sacramento International Airport. Just download the B4YouBoard app on your smartphone and you can order food from two great Sacramento eateries, which also have locations inside the new Terminal B – Esquire Grill and Burgers & Brew. Both restaurants feature hearty sandwiches and burgers as well as tasty salads and sides; all are easily packaged to take in-flight.

Orders can be placed up to 20 minutes ahead. As soon as you park, send in your order while you’re checking in your bags or riding the escalator to the Gateway B-Link tram. The app allows you to pick up your order from the restaurant or have it delivered directly to your gate.

B4YouBoard also works on your way into Sacramento International Airport’s Terminal B from a flight. Order your food from the plane (during normal business hours) as soon as it’s safe to turn on your cell phone and your order will be ready for pick up at the restaurant in less than 20 minutes. Pick up a great meal to enjoy before you head up the hill for more fun in the crisp mountain air of Tahoe South.
