Before you pack
2 points
- Surfboards/kite equipment are restricted to international flights only -- do not assume you can bring a board on a domestic inter-island Air Seychelles flight
- Pre-pay any expected excess weight online/in advance to get the lower USD 8/kg rate instead of USD 15/kg at the airport
