How to survive the flight to Kakamega?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you’ll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Kakamega in no time.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you’ll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren’t allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you’ll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
  • The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It’s the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kakamega?
The trick is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Kakamega in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

  • Have your passport and boarding pass handy. They’ll be the first things you’ll be asked to show at airport security.
  • After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
  • All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
  • Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you’re less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won’t be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
