Baggage fees
No reliable fixed price is listed here. Check your booking for the cost of adding a bag; an unlisted price does not mean it is free.
Official baggage policyHow to use this policy
Check cabin bag dimensions, weight and personal-item limits separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.
Editorial signal only. Measure the packed bag and verify the operating carrier's rule.
Kenya Airways liquids policy
Check departure and connecting airport screening rules. The reviewed Kenya Airways restrictions page does not establish a worldwide 100 ml/1 L total; medically necessary needles/syringes have a documentation exception.
