Check in online to avoid unnecessary queueing especially when you're reaching the airport just in time. You don't need to print out your boarding pass, save the environment, ise your mobile soft copy.
The new parkingbay can be tricky to reach. You have to drive through an underpass not far from international arrivals to turn aroun. It is right before terminal one and easy to miss.
Uber driver canceling on you? Prefer lyft overseas? Try Little Cab, Kenya's locally owned uber competitor. Their cars (are supposed) to come with free Wifi but payment is cash or M-Pesa (mobile money)
The airport is fine overall, some people might criticize the Arrivals which is in a parking due to the old one being renewed. There are multiple café's, and duty free shops.Terminal 1 is the best
Costs Ksh. 280 ($3.5) for 12-24 hours parking. If it's a day trip, drive yourself to the airport. Park in the 1st or 2nd parkingbay on your right and pay when you leave. Cheaper than a cab! Do it.
Prepare for longer queues on Sundays compared to rest of the week. Same number of planes, much fewer staff. Everything takes longer, security, check in, immigration etc
Здесь 2 лаунджа. Лучший на 2 эт. от 17 гейта- Pride. Большой зонированный зал с удобными креслами, есть душ, зона для сна. Неплохая еда, вино 2-3 вида, крепкие напитки. Чисто. 18-23 народа было мало.
The washrooms at JKIA are a joke, and too tiny to accommodate even 5 pple. Term 1A is laughable. Don't be surprised if you get in, and find no water at all. Whoever runs JKIA has a lot of work to do.
Если у вас длинная стыковка, в т.ч. Ночью- и Вам не*уй делать- прогуляйтесь по DutyFree. Тут он боольшой и круглосуточный!:) ночь ужасов для пластиковой карточки:)))⚡
If being picked up at the new (circa June 2016) terminal for international arrivals you can wait in the parking lot right outside it or move to the passenger pickup point by the main exit road.
So, with the new terminal 1A it can be confusing to get around or get to your point of departure. Parking is a bitch! I drove for half an hour looking for a spot. They have friendly support staff.
Free WiFi with limited time connectivity..... Roads leading to airport and city are always jam packed... So always take extra precaution.... Only two places for foodies..... Beer is available at both.
Extra security for all flights to the UK (including swabbing all electronic equipment in hand luggage) makes for longer queues at the gate so get in early
Gece geç saatlerde görevlilerin yerlerde uyuduğu,kaybolan bavulunuzu bir kaç dolar rüşvetle bulabileceğiniz birde çalışanların garib bir İngilizce konuştuğu havalimanı...
Is it cheaper for you to leave your car at the airport? Costs Ksh. 700 ($8) for every day (+24 hours) at the airport. Might be cheaper than a cab fare to and from the airport. You do the math. :)
Post-Fire Tip: For International Departures gates 3, 4 and 5 are in use. You go through passport checks, up the stairs and you'll find them in use with a coffee shop, modest duty free and seating.
Post-Fire Tip: For International Arrivals you want to go to the Syokimau Parking aka The State Pavilion. There you'll find the exit, passengers, taxis and people who can assist.
Be careful when paying for parking and dilly dallying. The price goes up every hour (if you did short term parking) so validate your ticket at arrivals near the coffee shop to guarantee a good rate.
По ночам траблы со связью и часть магазинов не принимает карты :) часть закрывается. Одно место где поесть- в конце коридора)). WiFi тоже ночью не подает признаков жизни. Розетку питания найти легко.
Must visit: Sibiloi National Park, this is one of the most remote national parks. It’s arid and windblown, but offers the visitor a selection of wild games not found in the other safari parks.
New security is good. They now need to integrate vehicle ticketing as well. Also, passengers shouldn't alight to be checked. Causing unnecessary congestion.
Тут две таможни. На расстоянии метров 70 друг от друга. В одной нет очереди.:) если вы прилетаете из не-Кении и лететь другой компанией - для получения багажа готовьте $20 за транзитную визу. Или....
Come and let us take you on a breath taking Safari In Kenya. Experience the Flora & Fauna of this Great land with it's plethora of animals and amazing sites.
I despise when this is done but it is a tip if you are pressed for time. Immigration staff are lax about which line you queued in. So titles like Kenyans, East Africa, COMESA don't mean as much.🙄😕😉
Safe and secure parking at an affordable rate. The Taxi services provided by JKIA are also very affordable, well maintained and handled with good turnaround times. Security: Above average.
Please be advised that if you are using a card-based means of payment for uber, your driver may cancel on you. Try cash (an option to pay in Kenya) to secure reliable service.
If you transit here you have to go to 2 security gates, take off shoes, laptops... twice, then if u have a chance to go to the lounge or buy any water at the shop you are not allowed to bring them in
My first tip would be to NOT book anything with KQ, and if you must come to NBO, just choose any line at customs, doesn’t matter, it will take 2 hours no matter how much traffic.
Be prepared for a lot of security checkpoints. One whole car scan when you get dropped off, one before entering ticketing, one after ticketing, and one before boarding area.
Queues in Unit 2 can be legendary. To save time clear immigration in Unit 1 but only if you have checked in online, have a printed boarding pass and are travelling with hand luggage only.
New terminal tip: customs are tighter about inspecting luggage and those with declarations to make. If you have nothing to declare or travel light just walk through but comply if asked to stop.
New international arrivals terminal seems quicker with luggage and passport control. The new building is opposite the old makeshift arrivals terminal that was actually a parkinggarage.
