Voice of Travelers to Seychelles
I am very impressed with the airplane services
I arrived at the International Terminal an hour and a half ahead of my flight to the Seychelles. Check-in was smooth. I received my air ticket identification sticker and waited in the restaurant. Seating was done quickly and the aircraft left on time. Boxed refreshments and tea/coffee were served soon after the seatbelt signs went off by the well-presented Seychelles crew. The flight arrived on time in the Seychelles and on landing, after clearing Immigration with my Air ticket, I received my bag within half an hour and was out of the airport. I was impressed with the service throughout and would fly again.
The aircraft was clean
My departure and arrival from the Seychelles were punctual, staff smiling and friendly. The Seychelles aircraft, including toilets, was clean and there were magazines and newspapers. The service for a short-haul flight on Seychelles is better than European or American airlines I have used for the same distance. All in all, a good experience.

A. Seychelles is typically very humid and the climate is tropical year around. May through October is the dry season while December through February has heavy rainfall. Although it depends on personal preference, we recommend visiting Seychelles during May to October as the weather will be more predictable and travelers will be able to enjoy activities such as diving and snorkeling. Additionally, air ticket prices do vary depending on the season and if you are visiting during holidays, like Christmas, so please make sure to check before buying your ticket.
