Answer 1

Best excuse is HONESTY! It is only fair that your current employer knows your intention and you will probably need a good testimony to secure the other job. By doing so, 2 things could happen : 1. your current employer realises that you are too good to let go and offer you something better, 2. get an internal transfer where you can be happier, 3. a good support to your new job.

Answer 2

I needed to do the same thing a few months ago.  I simply told my boss I needed the day off for personal reasons, it worked for me.

Answer 3

If you have vacation days, take them.  Otherwise, usually companies have "no fault" days that you can take off, without specifying a reason.  In the worst case, take a day off without pay.

The last thing you want to do is to make up a reason like sick, dentist, etc.  It's not only dishonest, it could come back to haunt you./
