How to survive the flight to Diani Beach?

Accepted Answer

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Diani Beach escape started on the right note.

What to pack in your hand luggage:

It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Question 11

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Diani Beach?

Accepted Answer

The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Diani Beach, here you come:

Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
Can't travel without your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
