Yes, many planes can land with three inches of snow, though the real call depends on runway grip, snow type, wind, visibility, and aircraft limits. Three inches of snow sounds simple. In air travel, it isn’t. A landing is never judged by snow depth alone. Crews and dispatchers care about what that snow is doing

Yes, many hotels will take a prepaid Visa for a reservation or stay, but the card must also cover the room, taxes, and any check-in hold. A prepaid Visa can work for a hotel booking, but this is where people get tripped up: the room rate is only part of the bill. Hotels often place

Yes, knives can go in checked bags, while most blades are barred from carry-ons and should be sheathed or wrapped. You can fly with a knife in your luggage in the United States, but where you pack it changes everything. At the TSA checkpoint, most knives are a hard no in carry-on bags. In checked

Yes, Indian citizens abroad can apply for passport reissue through an embassy or consulate, with timing tied to checks and local handling.
