How to survive the flight to Kisumu?
We’ve got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you’ll be hightailing it through airport security and exploring Kisumu in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Air travel can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you’ll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Check carefully that you don’t have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

  • The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favourites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
  • Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Kisumu?
The trick is to be organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you’ll be hopping onto that plane to Kisumu in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

  • First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don’t hold up the queue.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They’ll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you’re less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
  • Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They’ll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
