Do you have any tips for my flight to Lamu?
We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and seeing the best of Lamu in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, 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 Lamu?
Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Lamu a piece of cake. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

  • Keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
  • The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray 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-close bag.
  • Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
  • Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
