Flights to Praslin Island, Seychelles from NT$18,635

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying Praslin Island before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Praslin Island, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
