How Do You Get To The Seychelles?
Take along a good book on these flights!
Airlines serving Seychelles from Europe:
Tips for the airline traveler:
If traveling from the US to
the Seychelles via Europe, it is more economical to buy two APEX tickets, one for a round
trip to Europe and one round trip from Europe to the Seychelles. For example, a
single round trip APEX from New York to Mahe is about a thousand dollars more than when
purchasing the two round trip APEX tickets.
If the islands are to
be visited at the conclusion of an East African safari, then it would be more economical
to purchase tickets for travel on Kenya Airways from a travel agent in Nairobi.
