Cheap Flights to Nyahururu from HK$863

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Nyahururu holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Nyahururu a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
