Flights to La Digue, Seychelles from NT$34,729

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to La Digue could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to La Digue before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
