Location

One of the attractions of Seychelles is its minimal time difference with Europe and the UAE, and how well connected it is to major international hubs such as Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Doha with only 4.5 hours of flying time. Other major hubs such as Istanbul and Addis Ababa also have regular connections. Additionally, seasonal direct flights are available from Frankfurt, Zurich, Moscow, Mumbai, Mauritius and Colombo. For travellers wanting to combine Seychelles with a safari, there are easy connections across to East Africa via Nairobi, and South Africa via Johannesburg.

From Mahé, Alphonse Island is an hour’s flight from the domestic terminal of the international airport (SEZ). Check-in begins an hour before the scheduled departure for Alphonse Island. Due to the infrequent schedule of flights to Alphonse Island, guests are recommended to arrive in Mahé with no fewer than 4 hours between their long-haul flight arrival and onward departure to Alphonse Island.
