Our notes on Jambojet
Jambojet allows every passenger one piece of hand luggage of up to 10 kg, measuring no more than 55 × 35 × 25 cm. The weight is the easy part; the shape is specific: 35 cm wide and 25 cm deep.
A common 55 × 40 × 20 cm cabin case is 5 cm too wide for Jambojet, even though it is shallower. The baggage page names one piece only, without a separate personal item. On flights from Nairobi, check the width of your case rather than its length, and remember that the 10 kg covers the one piece you bring.
