Flights to Vipingo, Kilifi County from NT$18,943

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Vipingo vacation started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Vipingo a piece of cake. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• 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 luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
