How to survive the flight to Lamu?
Depending on where you’re coming from, your journey to Lamu could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that’ll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It’s also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cold in the cabin. Go for a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
  • Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Lamu?
As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you’ll be boarding that plane to Lamu in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

  • Have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They’re the first things you’ll be asked to present to security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
  • Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • It’s also likely that you’ll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
  • Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won’t be allowed on board.
