The best honeymoon holiday and the complete lack of signs of a large civilization nearby are the "chips" of the Seychelles. Few get to the archipelago in the Indian Ocean - rest in paradise is not cheap. And yet, happy faces with Russian passports in their hands periodically flash at the Seychelles airport, especially since there is no need to put a visa in them for the duration of the vacation.
There are no direct flights from Moscow to the capital of the archipelago, but on the wings of Emirates via Dubai, Air France via Paris or Etihad Airways with a connection in Abu Dhabi, it is easy to get here in just some 14 hours, including the transfer time.
Seychelles International Airport
Among the fifteen airports in the archipelago, only one can boast of international status. The rest serve domestic flights between the islands.
De La Point Larue air harbor is located 11 km southeast of Victoria. The city where the airport is located is built on the island of Mahe and is the administrative capital of the country. You can get from the passenger terminal to the center of Victoria by taxi or buses arriving at the main city station.
Infrastructure and directions
Seychelles airport's two terminals serve different purposes. The internal one is responsible for the communication between the islands and every 15 minutes during the peak season sends planes to the resorts of the archipelago. International is located a short walk to the south and receives and departs from several airlines. The Victoria Airport schedule includes flights:
- The San Denis de la Reunion operated by Air Austral.
- Condor flies to Frankfurt.
- Emirates are responsible for the Dubai direction.
- Ethiopian Airlines has regular flights to the capital of Ethiopia.
- Abu Dhabi and Victoria are connected by the wings of Etihad Airways.
- It's easy to get to Nairobi with Kenia Airways.
- Sri Lanka and Seychelles are linked by SriLanakn Airlines.
There is a café and several duty-free shops for passengers waiting for their plane at the departure area. Details of the airport's operation and flight schedules are available on the website - www.scaa.sc.
Transfer between islands
Among the domestic airports in Seychelles, the largest is the air harbor on the island of Praslin. Serving more than 1,500 people daily, this airport brings all secluded beach lovers to the island's resorts.
Flights to Praslin from Mahé are operated by Air Seychelles, and passengers are delivered to the selected hotel by taxi or by the hotel's transport.
The rest of the archipelago's domestic airports, whose runways are designed to serve only light aircraft, operate on the same principle.
