Dear Team Karimu,
We hope that your preparation and packing is going well!
Just a couple of last-minute tips:
Just a couple of last-minute tips:
1. Please remember to check your luggage allowance - it is usually 23kg maximum for the main hold + 7kg for hand luggage. Please do keep to this allowance. It should be more than enough for all your kit.
2. Please do not to pack any walking boots on the outside of the main hold luggage. They almost certainly won’t arrive still attached, we recommend you wear your boots for the flight to keep them safe (and save on weight in your main bag).
3. Please also pack a change of underwear, toothbrush (not paste, unless it is less than 100ml) and any other absolute essentials in your hand luggage (i.e. medication, anti-malarial tablets), just in case any main bags go missing on the flight. It is unlikely, but best to be safe.
