Do you have any tips for my flight to Eldoret?
If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Eldoret. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Eldoret?
A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Eldoret a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Have your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
  • Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
