Do you have any tips for my flight to Nairobi?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Nairobi holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

  • You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
  • You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Nairobi?
It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Nairobi, here you come:

  • First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
  • Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
