Do you have any tips for my flight to Watamu?
No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will get your Watamu holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Watamu?
It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Watamu, here you come:

  • Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
  • For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
  • Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
